All I get, regardless of the ID, is:

Uncaught Error: Error from Instagram: This client has not been approved to access this resource.

How to get this to work?

Hello,

Thanks for your Patience!

  1. Login to your Instagram Account.

  2. Visit this URL: https://instagram.pixelunion.net/ and Click on the "Generate Access Token".

  3. Authorize the App.

  4. Now you will see the Generated Access Token for your Account.

  5. 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.

  1. Then you can simply add your User ID in the data-user Attribute (which is the First 9-10 Digits before the Dot in the Access Token) and the data-type="user" Attribute should always be User since Instagram has blocked Access for other types of Content.

This will definitely work fine. Hope this Helps!
