Hi,
I just noticed that the Instagram feeds that I implemented are now broken. After doing some research it seems that Instagram changed their API and I believe you as a developer will need to apply for permissions to fix it. I think the relevant information is here: https://www.instagram.com/developer/review/

Please let me know if this is something you can do and plan on doing.

Thank you for a great product!

Hello,

Thank You so much for Reporting this to us. We are already aware of this issue and are contacting Instagram so that they can approve the API Access for us. Meanwhile, you can also use your Own Client by Creating here: https://www.instagram.com/developer/clients/register/ and then use the Client ID and Secret in the js/functions.js File.

Thanks for your Patience. Meanwhile, do let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues with Canvas.

Hello,

Unfortunately Instagram has disabled its API to show Public Content. For the meanwhile, you will need to Generate a Access Token from http://instagram.pixelunion.net/ and then find the following code in the js/functions.js File:

36286274.b9e559e.4824cbc1d0c94c23827dc4a2267a9f6b

and replace it with your Newly Generated Access Token.

However, for the time being you will only be able to show your Own Instagram Account's Photos as this has been enforced by Default by Instagram. The First 8 Digits of the Access Token is your User ID.

Hope this Helps! Do let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues with Canvas.
