Hi Team,

Website: https://allaboutesports.com

Right sidebar: I am using a section to showcase latest reels/posts from my Instagram account.

However, this widget/tool keeps uploading images in the media Library.

Request to review and find a solution.

Hi,

After our developer team had to make modifications in the theme in order for Instagram to continue to work, the solution that was found is the current one, a business account must be connected in the theme panel. The theme will then have authorization to access the account and get the content. The images from the account are kept in the media library on the website, so they are displayed from there, not having to keep making multiple requests to Instagram. On the dev website those images will remain displayed there indefinitely if there’s no newer content, even if the whole system doesn’t work.
You can delete the images, from media.

Thank you!

Hi Anamaria,

In short you suggest that, I have to keep checking media library from time to time and delete the auto uploaded images. Am I correct to understand?

Thanks,
Alok.

Yes, that’s what I mean.
