What this add-on does
The add-on fetches your Instagram account's latest posts via the official API and displays them as thumbnails on your site, in the layout you choose. Videos and albums are flagged with an icon, and each thumbnail links to the original post.
- Three layouts: grid, slider, carousel
- Feed fetched via the Instagram API and cached
- Automatic fallback to the last feed on outage
- No visitor data stored
A living site inspires trust
Before stepping into an agency, people check its digital storefront. A site that shows recent social activity projects the image of a dynamic, present team, whereas a static site leaves doubt hanging. Showing your behind-the-scenes, your listings and your news from Instagram, right on your site, turns your social presence into proof of vitality.
How it works
You enter an Instagram access token (generated from your Meta developer account) and, optionally, your @handle. The add-on queries the API, caches the feed so it isn't called on every visit, and displays it via the [ts_insta] shortcode you place wherever you want. You choose the layout, the number of thumbnails and the columns.
- Configurable long-lived access token
- Adjustable cache (minutes) to spare the API
- [ts_insta] shortcode with attributes
- On-demand “Clear cache” button
A format for every spot
The grid suits a “Follow us” page or a rich footer; the auto-rotating slider catches the eye in a narrow band; the scrollable carousel fits into a homepage flow. Same feed, three presentations, with no code to touch.

Who it's ideal for
Valuable for any agency active on Instagram wanting to capitalize on that work on its own site, and for those wanting to project a modern, dynamic image with no extra update effort.
