Connect your Instagram account
Important
Starting December 4, 2024, Meta will phase out its Instagram Basic Display API, meaning Instagram will no longer allow personal accounts to be used in Spotlight. Learn more about this change.
To display Instagram posts on your WordPress site, you need to authorize Spotlight to access the data from your Instagram account.
This can be done in a few simple steps depending on the type of Instagram account being connected.

Instagram Business accounts that are connected to a Facebook page will have access to more features in Spotlight. Learn more.
Note: Spotlight is approved and verified by Facebook to make use of the Instagram API. This ensures that your connection and your data are always kept secure. Spotlight doesn't store any of your personal data for itself, all posts are solely imported into your database which only you have access to. More details can be in our Privacy Policy.
