Setup guide
Show your latest Instagram posts on your website. They update automatically every time you post.
Time: about 5 minutes
You need: your Instagram login
Account type: Business or Creator
Your website has an Instagram section that shows your most recent posts. You connect your Instagram account once, and after that it updates by itself.
Your Instagram must be a Professional account. Instagram only lets websites show posts from Business or Creator accounts. Switching is free, takes a minute, and you keep all your posts and followers. Already Professional? Skip to step 2.
1
In the Instagram app, tap your profile picture, then the menu ☰, then Account type and tools (under Settings and activity) and Switch to professional account. Choose a category, pick Business or Creator, and tap Done. You can skip the optional steps. If you can see Professional dashboard on your profile, you're already set.
2
Log in to your website. In the left menu click Instagram Feed → Settings, then under Manage Sources click + Add Source.
3
Leave Business Basic selected (no Facebook page needed) and click Connect, then Connect with Instagram. Log in with your Instagram username and password and click Allow. Having trouble? Log in at instagram.com in the same browser first, then try again.
4
You're sent back to your website and your account appears under Manage Sources. Your posts show on your homepage within a few minutes, and new posts appear automatically from now on.
“This account is not a business account”
Your Instagram is still a personal account. Do step 1 first.
The feed stopped updating
Instagram sometimes asks for permission again, for example after a password change. Remove the account under Manage Sources and add it again (steps 2 and 3).
The wrong account connected
Log out of Instagram in your browser, log in to the right account at instagram.com, then add the source again.
