 * Hi,
    A few weeks ago the plugin stopped working by username of instagram. If 
   i use a tag, it works, but by username not. Can you help me please? Thanks!

 * Yeah, same thing here. Looks like Instagram might have changed the URL or something,
   each image returns a 403 status with the body “URL signature expired”. Same thing
   on the plugin’s demo page… [http://instagram.jrwebstudio.com/](http://instagram.jrwebstudio.com/)
 * Will this plugin be updated?

 * Hi [@lydiamunoz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lydiamunoz/) I am testing
   the issue. Instagram is making it hard to show photos on 3rd party websites by
   expiring the url. I am working on a fix!
