This provides the header and buttons for each feed individually. For this example I’m using a shortcode for each feed, with the ID of the feed that I want to display. The standard shortcode displays them all together. The feed now includes feeds from anyone I add. Paste the ID’s of all the feeds you want to display into the User ID(s) field, with each ID separated by a coma.
The user name is the text we need to copy to get the user ID. Their company name is Aspen Grove Studios, but the user name is aspengrovestudios. You’ll see the name as well as the user name. This is the screenshot from the website on my laptop (so it might look different if you’re using an Instagram app).

Display Feeds from Multiple SourcesĪnother of the strengths of this plugin is it can show feeds from more than one source. Each of these elements can be customized. Links include my avatar and name at the top, and a button at the bottom. The result is a four-column feed of my latest posts (that I copied from Aspen Grove Studios) complete with links so readers can follow me on Instagram. Here’s the standard shortcode placed within the WordPress editor. The shortcodes are available in the settings screen within the tab called Display Your Feed.
You have access to many more shortcodes, which gives you more choices of what your feed displays and how it displays it. To place it within your content copy the shortcode and paste it into your pages, posts, and widgets. Your access token and user ID will be added automatically, so there’re no extra steps on your part. You’ll get a popup from Instagram that asks if it’s okay to authorize this plugin to access your media and content. This will log into your Instagram account and obtain your access token and user ID for you. In the Configure tab click the Instagram button.
