# Feed dropdown empty / Invalid shortcode

 * I am unable to link an Instagram feed to the widget. When I click the Feed dropdown,
   nothing actually drops down for me to select. Under the sidebar, under Instagram,
   it just says “Invalid shortcode.”

 * Please return to your Instagram Feeds list page and make sure that the feed is
   published. You get the message, when the feed is not published.

 * The feed is now published and I am able to access the feed from the widget drop
   down, however the invalid shortcode message persists.

 * It’s working now. It must have needed some time. Thank you!
