Hello
I am not sure why, but my instagram feed stopped working. I didn't change my Insta account to private so.... curious. Any ideas? I would love some help.
Thanks!

Hello,
We have been working on fixing this issue for a Long while now but 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.4824cbc1d0c94c23827dc4a2267a9f6band 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.
We are working on applying for the Public Content Access to Instagram but we will have to wait for it as it will get reviewed by Instagram. And once we are ready we will add our Own Access Token Generator App so that you can use it to for your Instagram Feeds. 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.

Thank you!. It worked.
How will I be notified of when this happens "And once we are ready we will add our Own Access Token Generator App so that you can use it to for your Instagram Feeds." so that I can update my site???

Howdy, I have this solution working for my own personal Instagram account but now need make it work for the client, when I went and got the token it did not ask for credentials. Is this because I was probably already signed in? If that's the case can i just make sure I am not logged in when I go to instagram.pixelunion.net and log in with their credentials?
Has anybody told Instagram what anal jerks they are being?
really liking this template btw

Hello,
Thank You so much for the Kind Words! :)
Simply Logout from your Account here: https://www.instagram.com/developer/ and then Visit the http://instagram.pixelunion.net/ again to Login with the New Credentials. This will Definitely work fine.
Yes we definitely understand that this was Real Bad Decision! Hope something is done about this soon.
