Step 1: Adding the Instagram Feed App to Your Wix Website
The first thing you need to do is go to the Wix App Marketplace and search for the "Instagram Feed" app. Once you find the app called "Instagram Feed by Wix", click on it to add it to your site. This app allows you to connect your Instagram account and display your photos on your website seamlessly.
Step 2: Setting up the Instagram Feed App
After adding the Instagram Feed app to your Wix website, it's time to customize its settings for a perfect integration. You can access the settings by navigating to the app and clicking on the "Settings" option.
3.1 Adjusting Display Settings
In the display settings, you can configure how your Instagram feed will appear on your website. You have the option to hide your profile information, disable hashtag feeds, and choose the direction in which your images will be displayed. It is recommended to display your images from left to right, similar to how your Instagram feed appears.
3.2 Customizing Text and Links
The text settings allow you to control the display of hashtags and the load more button. You can choose to show the hashtags or have no title at all. You can also customize the text for the load more button and determine where your posts will link to.
3.3 Choosing Layout Options
Next, you have the option to select how your Instagram posts will be displayed. You can choose between a grid layout, a slider, or a collage. For this tutorial, we will focus on the slider layout. You can also specify the number of posts to be displayed at a time and adjust the spacing between each post.
3.4 Designing the Feed
In the design settings, you can customize the fonts, colors, and styling of your Instagram feed. You can choose the font and color for the text, buttons, and background. You can also customize the design of the expand mode when a user clicks on an image to view details such as captions and comments.
Step 4: Connecting Your Instagram Account
To display your Instagram feed on your Wix website, you need to connect your Instagram account to the Instagram Feed app. You can do this by going to the app settings and selecting the "Main" tab.
