Instagram widget doesn't show images, only feed metadata

Hi,

we came across this issue in the last weeks: the instagram widget was working fine, then, once it broke, and won’t show images, only image alt: https://economia.hu/

We tried to log out of the facebook/ig account (it’s a business account), reauthenticate it, but it didn’t help. Any idea, how to fix this?

Regards,

Attila

Hello,

Please delete the Instagram widget and add it again.

Thank you!

Hi, that didn’t work. I found an explanation for this issue on an other site:

“Hi, thunbnails are generated on instagrams side and it looks like they clear out the cdn so the thumbnail_url becomes invalid. If you want an all ways up to-date thumbnail to appear on your site i would recommend using the “embed_url” property to form query to instagrams oembed api. const…”

However, there are regular content updates, and even a 15hour old post comes back with a 403 error, and “url timestamp expired” message.

Hi, is there a way to force recaching/refetching the data?

Hi, yes, we started using a different plugin.
