Hi,

Seems that instagram have changed their api and as from 1st June they switched of the old one which means a couple of sites feeds have now stopped working.

I was using the snippet detailed in this post, including the update on reply 16 on page 2
https://forums.modx.com/thread/?thread=91166

My main issue is getting the access token as all links to generate that seem to have also stopped working for example this one:

Anyone else having issues?

Could this be the problem?

Sorry forgot to reply this but yes ^. I was able to get it working using instafeed (js script independent from modx). However instagram developer accounts now only support one feed per account, and it does require an access token key of the persons account you're trying to grab data from, bummer.

Sorry missed all these replies.

LK yeah did manage to solve and apologies I never posted how i solved it.

BobRay, yeah was related to that although the initial forum post i linked to had a work around but once the 1st kicked in all the links that help generate an access token also stopped working.

I'll report back with exactly how i solved this in case others are having issues.
