Instagram Feed

Show your Instagram posts to keep the site fresh and visual.

Posts, carousels and reels from an Instagram professional account, cached on the server, as a grid, masonry, highlight or carousel with a lightbox.

Gutenberg block

Requirements

Open the page or post in the block editor.
Click + (Block Inserter) and search for Instagram Feed — it is in the Moduly category.
Insert it, then fill in its content on the canvas. Ready-made presets appear when you insert it, and later under Transform to in the block toolbar.
Adjust it in the right sidebar: the Block tab holds the settings below, and the Styles tab its colours, typography and spacing.

Styles tab: spacing, from WordPress's own design tools.

Start with the Layout choice — it changes the overall look the most; fine-tune the rest afterwards.
Visitors who ask their device for reduced motion get a calmer, still version automatically.
Not sure where to start? Insert one of its presets and edit from there.

Instagram withholds some media (for example reels with licensed music); those posts are skipped.
One account per site (the option); mdly_instagram_feed_account can switch it per request.
Instagram's own media URLs expire after a while; the cache period should stay well under a day for video-heavy feeds.
A change not showing on the live site is almost always a page cache — clear your caching plugin or host cache.
