How to Add an Instagram Feed

This article refers to Inspiro Premium

Inspiro Premium supports Instagram integration through the WPZOOM Social Feed Widget & Block plugin. This allows you to easily display your latest Instagram posts in various areas of your site, including the footer, sidebar, or within any page layout built with Elementor or the Block Editor.


1. Installing and Setting Up the Plugin

1. Go to Plugins → Add New

2. Search for “WPZOOM social feed”

3. Click Install, then Activate the plugin

4. Navigate to Instagram Widget → Users and connect your Instagram account

5. Go to Instagram Widget → Feeds and create your feed

2. Displaying the Instagram Feed

Once you’ve created a feed, there are two ways to display it:

  • Using a shortcode (recommended)
  • Using the Instagram block or widget included with the plugin

To find the shortcode:

1. Go to Instagram Widget → Feeds

2. Click on the three dots icon alongside the feed to want to display and click on Copy Shortcode

or click on Edit Feed, go to the Embed tab, and copy the shortcode from the corresponding field.

Add via Widgets (Appearance → Widgets)

1. Expand the widget area where you want the feed displayed

2. Click the + (Add Block) button

3. Search for the Shortcode block

4. Paste the shortcode in the block’s field

5. The feed will now appear in the designated widget area

6. Click Update in the upper right corner to save the changes

Tip: You can also place the shortcode in the Footer Instagram Bar widget area. This displays the feed just above the theme’s footer.

Note: The WPZOOM Social Feed Widget & Block plugin also includes a specialized block. You can search for “Instagram Feed” when adding a block and insert the feed directly—no shortcode needed. Just select the feed you want from the block’s dropdown menu.


Add in Elementor

1. Edit the page with Elementor

2. Add a Text Editor (or Shortcode) widget to the section where you want to show the feed

3. Paste the shortcode in the text field

Note: The feed preview will display after you click Publish and refresh the page.

4. Adjust the settings if needed and click Publish

Alternative Method:
The plugin includes a dedicated WPZOOM Instagram Feed widget for Elementor:

  • Drag and drop it into any section
  • Select the feed from the dropdown in the Elementor left sidebar

Add in the Block Editor

1. In the page or post editor, click the + (Add Block) button

2. Search for and add the Shortcode block

3. Paste the shortcode in the block’s field

4. Click Publish to save your changes

Alternative Method:
Search for the Instagram Feed by WPZOOM block, add it, and select your feed from the dropdown menu.
