Hi,
I’ve tried several attempts to set-up on IG feed on my footer widget and I’m having difficulty doing so. I noticed that the customizing only for columns not rows. Is there a possibility of achieving IG feed on footer widget?
Similar to: http://www.thriftsandthreads.com
Please help.
Hey dubaitopia,
To achieve the same layout as that website you would just need to add the plugin’s [instagram-feed] shortcode to a WordPress ‘Text’ widget in your footer. You can then set the number of columns to be 6 like it is on that site, either on the plugin’s “Customize” settings page, or directly in the shortcode: [instagram-feed num=6 cols=6].
Let me know whether that makes sense.

my base template doesn’t support adding a text widget to the footer (it’s only available in the PRO version). is there any way i can call the plugin directly from the footer php?
i want the instagram feed to appear on all pages of my website in the footer so i want it set directly in the template…
thanks!
Hey smoothyjones,
You can embed the feed directly into a template file, such as your footer.php file, by using the WordPress do_shortcode function:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[instagram-feed]'); ?>
Let me know whether that works for you, and I hope you’re having a good day.

Hello,
I was experiencing the same issue and that worked for me. But I do have a couple other concerns. I would like to adjust the formatting of the feed to look like the IG thread on the bottom of this blog… http://sugarlovechic.com. Is there a functions I can embed directly into my footer.php file to achieve this following the function I have embedded already(<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[instagram-feed num=6 cols=6]’); ?>)?
Hey slayedstyle,
The shortcode you have in the feed should work fine for what you are asking for. The reason that the feed isn’t spanning across the page like in the link you sent is due to the CSS of your theme most likely. If you gave me a link, I could help you change some things in the theme to allow the feed to look like in your example.
Let me know if you can send me the link.
