Hi,

Hello,
Go to https://www.instagram.com/developer/ > Manage Clients > Register a New Client > Create a New Client (Add http://localhost/ in the Redirect URL) > Uncheck: Disable implicit OAuth (In Security Tab)
Go to this URL: https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=CLIENT-ID&redirect_uri=REDIRECT-URI&response_type=token and make sure that you replace the CLIENT-ID and REDIRECT-URI in the URL with their Actual Values. This will fetch you your Access Token.
Open the js/functions.js File and find the following code:
SEMICOLON.widget.instagramPhotos( '5834720953.1677ed0.a0a26ba4c90845f9a844d64c316bf77a', '8e000fefe3024b2ead6a50ff005bf036' );then replace 5834720953.1677ed0.a0a26ba4c90845f9a844d64c316bf77a with the newly generated Access Token in the step above and replace 8e000fefe3024b2ead6a50ff005bf036 with the Client ID of your Newly Created Client.
This will definitely work fine. Hope this Helps!

Thanks for the feedback.
It turns out that the link to create new users has been deprecated and no longer works, see the attachment.
