Description
Custom Instagram Feed Pro displays photos from public Instagram accounts directly on your site’s pages, filtering by user ID or hashtag and allowing multiple simultaneous feeds, each with a button to load more photos and a lightbox view. Designed for those who already post on Instagram and want to reuse that content without manually republishing it, the plugin adjusts columns, image size, spacing, and colors to fit any responsive layout on any device.

How to Download Custom Instagram Feed Pro
Custom Instagram Feed Pro is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it under Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file, and activate it; the feed becomes available in the plugin’s options in the WordPress dashboard.
The displayed feed eliminates the need for screenshots or manual photo uploads, since the content is pulled directly from the connected account and updated as new posts are published on Instagram. It makes sense for blogs, portfolios, and event pages that depend on constant updates and want to keep their site aligned with what is already being published on social media, without repetitive editing tasks.

What changed in this version
Version 6.14.0
- New: Reels now open in a full-screen, swipeable viewer that plays with sound. Turn it on or off with the new "Enable Swipe View for Reels" setting under Settings > Advanced (on by default). Feeds with the lightbox turned off are not affected.
- New: A Data sharing section under Settings > General explains the limited, anonymised usage data the plugin collects and the in-plugin notifications it sends, with links to learn more.
- New: Manage Instagram Feed from AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor through the WordPress Abilities API (WordPress 6.9 and newer). Set it up under Settings > General > AI Agents. Agents can read your feeds and settings; changing them needs the separate "MCP Write Access" option, which is off by default.
- Fix: Feeds on pages served from a long-lived page cache no longer show up empty, and Load More works again.
- Fix: Dismissed in-plugin notifications no longer come back after a page reload.
Version 6.13.1
- Fix: The Instagram feed block preview in the WordPress post, page, and site editors is styled again, instead of appearing as a stack of oversized icons.
- Fix: Resolved a compatibility issue on WP Engine-hosted sites where the plugin could interfere with WP Engine's platform detection.
Version 6.13.0
- New: A notice now warns you when a feed has been showing an older saved copy of its posts because Instagram could not be reached, escalating to a more urgent warning if the connection stays broken.
- Tweak: Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 7.1.
- Tweak: The weekly Feed Issue Email Report now also tells you when a feed has quietly been showing an older saved copy of its posts for days, not just when there is an outright connection error.
- Fix: Keyboard and focus improvements across the published feed, its lightbox, and the feed customizer — posts and carousel items are reachable by Tab and announced to screen readers, focus outlines are clearer and correctly placed, and focus no longer gets stuck in the customizer's color picker.
- Fix: Rate limits and temporary throttling from Instagram no longer mark a working connection as invalid or ask you to reconnect — the feed keeps serving cached posts and retries automatically once the limit clears.
- Fix: The customizer preview is clickable again — moderation, shoppable, and caption expansion work as expected, and clicking a shoppable tile no longer opens Instagram.com in a new tab.
- Fix: Repeated failures to refresh a connected account's access token are now recorded properly, so a connection that keeps failing no longer appears up to date.
- Fix: Plugin security hardening.
Version 6.12.0
- New: Improved accessibility across the plugin admin to meet WCAG 2.1 AA — customizer controls, popups, settings tabs, and the feeds list are now fully keyboard accessible with clearer focus indicators.
- Fix: The Support page now displays system information line breaks correctly.
- Fix: Plugin security hardening.
Version 6.11.4
- New: Added Divi 5 Visual Builder compatibility for feed previews.
- Fix: Instagram images now honor the intended image quality, and the Thumbnail feed size now uses the cached thumbnail file.
- Fix: Resolved an editor typography issue on WordPress versions below 7.0 caused by legacy block iframe styles.
- Fix: Additional plugin hardening.
