 * Hi. The plugin was working fine, and now I am getting this error – Incorrect 
   user ID specified
 * I have checked the user ID several times and it is correct.
 * I am wanting to display 3×9 thumbnails in the Catch Kathmandu theme, the forth
   footer.
    My web site is [http://www.mumswholovebrunch.com](http://www.mumswholovebrunch.com)
 * Thanks your help is greatly appreciated.

 * did you get the solution to “Incorrect user ID specified.” when you use the instragram
   widget?

 * I was also seeing this issue and I believe it appears when too many requests 
   are made by the same application (client ID). This is what I was seeing when 
   making a direct request to the Instagram API:
 * {“code”: 429, “error_type”: “OAuthRateLimitException”, “error_message”: “You 
   have exceeded the maximum number of requests per hour. You have performed a total
   of 12871 requests in the last hour. Our general maximum limit is set at 5000 
   requests per hour.”}
 * To solve this I replaced the client ID in the request with one from a new application
   created in Instagram (rather than the one included in the plugin).
 * If the above is correct the plugin should just need to provide the option to 
   specify a Client ID. For now I’ve had to overwrite the one hard coded in basic-
   instagram-widget.php line 111.

 * Hello everybody,
 * The latest version (2.0.1) should fix these issues for you. Its not backwards
   compatible however so you will have to re-configure your widgets again.
 * Let me know if this sorts it for you.
 * Many thanks,
 * INK361.
