How to Generate an Access Token

External services

This plugin relies on the Instagram Graph API to fetch media content (images and videos) from your Instagram account to display in your gallery.

• Service: Instagram Graph API (Meta Platforms, Inc.)
• What data is sent: Your Instagram Access Token, media IDs, and query parameters to specify image/video fields and limits.
• When data is sent: Data is sent via a server-side request (wp_remote_get) every time the gallery shortcode is loaded on your site.
• Privacy & Terms:
  • Instagram Data Policy
  • Meta Privacy Policy
  • Instagram Terms of Use

Complete Setup Tutorial

The setup process takes just a few minutes. Enter your access token, adjust your display settings, and drop the shortcode wherever you want the gallery to appear. Works with pages, posts, sidebar widgets, and theme template files.

What You Can Do With This Gallery

When building your social media gallery, you get control over how images display:

• Choose how many photos appear (up to 50 in the free version)
• Set the number of columns from 1 to 6
• Add spacing between images for a cleaner look
• Show or hide captions on hover
• Link images back to the original post
• Open photos in a lightbox with navigation controls

The responsive design adapts automatically. Desktop visitors see a multi-column grid while mobile users get a single-column view that scrolls smoothly.

Gallery Layout Options

The free version includes a standard grid template. Photos arrange in equal-sized boxes across your chosen column count. Spacing options let you add gaps between images or create a tight seamless grid.

For sites needing more variety, the Pro version adds four additional layouts:

• Masonry – Images stack vertically without equal heights, like Pinterest
• Mosaic – Mixed-size tiles create visual interest
• Carousel – Sliding gallery with navigation arrows
• Post Style – Shows images with engagement data below

Connecting Your Social Media Account

The gallery uses Insta’s official API through access tokens. This method keeps your account secure since you never enter your password into the site.

Getting an access token involves a few steps through Facebook’s developer tools. We include video tutorials that walk through the process from start to finish. Most users complete setup in under 10 minutes.

Where to Display Your Feed

Shortcodes give you flexibility in placement. Copy the code from the gallery settings and paste it into:

• Any page or post using the block editor or classic editor
• Text widgets in your sidebar or footer
• Theme template files with the do_shortcode function

Each gallery gets its own shortcode, so you can create multiple feeds with different settings.
