Here is a super simple way to get your instagram feed on the sidebar of your WordPress Blog.
Say hello to SnapWidget
SnapWidget is a free service that makes this super simple, and no need to add a plugin to get it working.
Customise your widget
The super easy interface allows you customise your instagram feed. Add your username, or if you like a hastag and preview your options.
Copy your embed code
Once you are happy with the way your feed displays, click the ‘get widget’ option. Copy the in the grey box and head on over to your website.
Paste you embed code in your widgets
Within your WordPress login, head to your widgets section (under Appearance -> Widgets). Find your sidebar and drag over the ‘Text’ Widget that comes with your WordPress install. Paste your embed code in the text area of the widget.
Save and check your sidebar – that’s it we’re done!
The pros
Super easy, no plugins required, no coding skills required.
The cons
This plugin uses an iframe, which is essentially a website embedded into your site.
You have limited ability to customse and if you have a responsive website the frame will not respond to window sizes.
