Instagram Widget

Use the Instagram widget to show recent posts in a gallery-style layout.

Add an Instagram widget

Instagram Settings

Tabs include:

• Content: pick Existing Instagram Feeds or add a new Instagram Username. Use Refresh @username Feed to sync. Existing feeds show the last checked time, last changed time, next refresh, and any recent refresh error. Set Post Order to Instagram to preserve the profile grid order, including pinned posts, or Newest to sort by post date. Set Max Items and toggle Show Captions.
• Layout: choose Layout Type (Grid or Carousel), set Images per Row / Slides per View, adjust Gap Between Images, and control Show Arrows, Auto-play, and Auto-play Delay. Carousel layouts can use snap scrolling or a continuous scrolling mode with direction, speed, item width, and pause-on-hover controls.
• Style: choose Crop to fill each image area or Fit to keep the complete post visible. Turn on Custom Image Height to set separate desktop and mobile heights. When captions are shown, choose 2, 4, or 6 lines, or show the full caption. You can also adjust Border Radius.

Live behavior notes

• Instagram thumbnails now keep responsive loading more consistently in both grid and carousel layouts, which helps live feeds stay sharper and more stable.
• Published feeds request image sizes that more closely match the active grid or carousel layout on desktop and mobile, reducing unnecessarily large image loads.
• Continuous carousel timing adapts to the rendered feed width, so longer or shorter feeds keep a steadier visual pace.
• Custom image heights and caption lengths carry through to preview and published pages across desktop and mobile layouts.
• Saved feeds refresh on a schedule after they are synced, and published pages use the saved feed data instead of fetching Instagram directly for each page view.
• The selected Post Order is applied before Max Items. Use Instagram when pinned posts and profile-grid order should stay first, or Newest when a smaller widget should always keep the most recent posts.
• Scheduled refreshes compare the latest profile details with the saved feed and avoid rewriting unchanged posts. If the primary refresh cannot confirm the result, Hiveality can keep the saved feed and use a fallback refresh when needed.
• If a refresh cannot complete, Hiveality keeps using the last saved feed data and shows the latest error in Instagram Settings.
