JA Social Feed - Instagram pictures not displayed in browser

hermannklug

When recently having installed and configured the JA Social Feed Plugin, pictures are transmitted for FlickR and Blogger posts, but NOT for Instagram posts. in Instagram only the title and body text is transmitted to Joomla. The pictures are displayed as icons in the browser. Behind the icons are links, but the pictures themselves are not visible. In the configuration menu of the plugin I tried both, downloading the pictures to Joomla and without downloading. Nothing changed the result. Any suggestion what to do to display the pictures in the browser?

Hi hermannklug

The API for Instagram has been changed so it may affect the function, I've reported to the team to update it.

Kindly wait.

Hi saguaros, any rough idea, how long I need to wait for a software update of JA Social Feed to get access to the pictures of Instagram?

hermannklug Could you share the URL + admin account of your site? I will pass to our developer to check it also.

Sorry, I did not receive an email notification as expected, once a new message comes up here. To whom can I send the URL and account details?

You can edit Fields in your first post so only support team can see it.

Hi Saguaros, is there any update from your check?

Hi hermannklug

Could you backup your site first and try to install this package?

I backed up the site, installed the zip and run the cron job and verified the keyword @mtb_klug. After installation neither the cron job nor the verification of the keyword was successful. Before is was obviously running, but the pictures were only containing placeholders instead of the pictures.

Hi hermannklug

Something still wrong with the new API, I will pass to the dev team for further checking.

Any news on the new developments? I disabled the Instagram feed in the plug in now since the posts look a bit awkward without picture transfer and no update presently. If you want to test the new development, please feel free to switch it on again.

Hi hermannklug Unfortunately, there is still no news now, will need to wait from the team.

Would be great to receive news on the developments or whether or not I need to search for another tool to display the instagram posts. This of course would be very unfortunate for me.

Hi hermannklug

I've reminded the team for this update, kindly wait.

hermannklug

It's now almost 2 month ago when I asked for news? Did your team find any solution?

Hi hermannklug

To be honest, our team are working hard on updating our products to PHP8 and Joomla4 including JA Social Feed also and it will include update for new API also. It will take time as we have large collection of product so kindly wait for the update.
