I take it you haven’t actually tried this??? as if you click instagram and try to delete the preset profile it States:
Failed Deleted! You must have at least one profile!
therefore the profile remains active and is still posting instagram to my site, i’m asking how do you turn off instagram altogether

thanks

We are happy with our wall 🙂 Not eager to delete all profiles 😉

Suggestion: perhaps downgrade to the feed plugin without instagram support?

I’m glad you are happy with your wall I’m happy with mine, surely not the point like buying a new car that you cant park…. a simple ability to turn of the instagram feed, should be able to turn off any feed surely? what if a site dont have a twitter account, you cant turn that off either!

Hi there,

When I disabled the instagram, I simply created a new dummy account, gave it a name; left the instagram user name blank; Then I was able to delete the last sample account. The only one showing now is the dummy account I set up.

From there I went into the categories and unpublished the ‘instagram’ category.

Hope this helps you.

@vineyardseashell,

Thanks for that. I just tried clearing out the keyword field, but that doesn’t work. Creating a Dummy account does work.

Now I just have to clear out the millions of instagrams.:)

Please open the file: plugins/system/jasocial_feed/jasocial_feed.php

Find and replace this code snippet:
[PHP]$source = ‘instagram’;
$profiles = jaSocialFeedGetProfiles($source);
if(count($profiles)) {
foreach ($profiles as $profile => $pName) {
$data = jaSocialFeedGetProfile($source, $profile);
if(is_object($data)) {
$this->fetchInstagramPost($data);
}
}
}[/PHP]

With:

[PHP]/*$source = ‘instagram’;
$profiles = jaSocialFeedGetProfiles($source);
if(count($profiles)) {
foreach ($profiles as $profile => $pName) {
$data = jaSocialFeedGetProfile($source, $profile);
if(is_object($data)) {
$this->fetchInstagramPost($data);
}
}
}*/[/PHP]

FYI: I will add new option for enable/disable profile in the next version.
