Oho! New theme. =) I like it for its simplicity. No header images whatsoever. Well, except the name of my blog and in my sidebar which I deliberately filled with images because I don’t want my blog to look boring.
Anyway, I’d like to share this wonderful WordPress plugin I found yesterday called, InstaPress. By installing and activating the plugin, you get to display your Instagram photos in your sidebar or anywhere in your blog. You can also create your own Instagram Gallery with the plugin’s paging functionality feature — I tried this one, but it seems that it doesn’t work for me, maybe theme or plugin compatibility issues. Anyhoo, it’s very easy to use and I recommend it to those who wants to showcase their Instagram photos in their blog.
- Download InstaPress
- Extract the file and upload the InstaPress folder to your (wp-content/plugins) folder.
- Login to your WordPress dashboard > plugins > InstaPress and activate.
- For further configuration, go to settings > Instapress.
Use the following shortcode in your post or pages:
ex.
Use the following shortcode in your theme (sidebar):
ex.
- userid: ID or username of instagram user (leave blank for popular media, use “self” for your own media or “myfeed” to display your feed)
- piccount: Number of instagrams to display (Default: 9) – Note: It is highly recommended to enable caching for more than 20 pictures
- size: Size of instagrams in pixels (Default: 85)
- effect: Name of the effect to use for the slideshow (Currently only ‘fancybox’ possible) – Since 0.4.3
- url: If this value is set, Instapress ignores the value for userid and piccount and displays a single Instagram (no authorization required!) – Since 1.0
- title: If this value is set to 1 and an effect was set, Instapress will show the Instagram’s title – Since 1.0.1
- paging: If this value is set to 1, your pictures will be displayed as an image gallery. The value for piccount defines the number of pictures per page.
- tag: Use this option to filter Instagrams by tag. Note: At the moment you can only use a single tag. The userid option is ignored if you set this option.
So in my case, I used:
Easy, right? =)
