Usage

Shortcode

You can implement an instagram feed in posts or pages via shortcode in the following format:

[instapress userid="" piccount="" size=""]

  • 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: 85px)
  • 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.

Widget

Add Widget called "Instagram" to your sidebar (wp-admin > Design > Widgets) and configure it:

  • Title: Widget-Title (use CSS to hide it)
  • Picture size: Size of pictures in pixels
  • Username: Username of user whose media to display
  • Address/Coordinates: Address of e.g. your bar, shop,... or coordinates in the format latitude,longitude (If this value is set, the user's feed will be ignored)
  • Pics: How many pics will be displayed? - Note: It is highly recommended to enable caching for more than 20 pictures
  • Effect: Fancybox uses jQuery Fancybox to display image gallery, otherwise the pictures link to their instagr.am page
  • Show title: Shows the title of the image in Fancybox slideshow
  • Image container: Individual HTML-Container for the Instagram image takes 2 parameters at the moment (%index% = Index of image starting with 1, %image% = the instagram image, %title% = the instagram's title - since 1.3.5)

Template

To use Instapress in one of your templates, simply work with do_shortcode() using the instapress shortcode.

<?php echo do_shortcode('[instapress piccount="12"]'); ?>

Editor

Click on the Instapress icon in TinyMCE and use the form that pops up to insert images or feeds.
