I have attempted to use the Instagram Widget provided. However, it does not work. I cannot find a thread on this topic in the support forum. How are you able to do so in the demo? How can it be done on our site? According to WordPress:

Instagram embed

Due to Facebook’s decision to close the oEmbed end point for embedding Instagram links, the block will not work anymore after October 24, 2020. Publishers who want to embed Facebook links into their sites will require a developer account and an appid, and provide an authenication token with their call to the endpoint. Facebook Documentation: create an app

WordPress leadership reached out to Facebook but it seems the policy change is final. Apart from alerting users here and other place, WordPress contributors can’t do anything about it.

Hi James,

 

Ashe theme users 3rd party plugin “Smash Balloon Social Photo Feed – Easy Social Feeds Plugin” here is the link to the plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/instagram-feed/
All you mentioned above is not required when you use this plugin; you only use its generated token. We wanted to configure this plugin for you, but when we try to install it on your website, it redirects us to the wp.com login page.
1. Please install the Instagram feed mentioned and check its documentation to learn how to connect to your website. It’s an easy process.
2. Thank you can check this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8vmC4BPU0U&t=22s  to understand how to display feed on the website in the widgetized areas.
