 * I receive the following error when accessing the widget on WordPress.
 * Widget Error!
    There is a problem with this widget!
 * Your access token has expired, or is no longer valid. You must re-authenticate
   with Instagram for this widget to start functioning correctly again.

 * When I click the button ‘Connect to Instagram’ I receive the following on a blank
   web page:
 * {“code”: 403, “error_type”: “OAuthForbiddenException”, “error_message”: “You 
   are not a sandbox user of this client”}

 * **That error message is not related to this plugin!
    
   
    You are using a plugin
   that requires Instagram authentication via their API.
 * Info from instagram:
 * > Any app created before Nov 17, 2015 will continue to function until June 1,
   > 2016. On that date, the app will automatically be moved to Sandbox Mode if 
   > it wasn’t approved through the review process.
