    I have spent several hours over the past couple weeks to get the api to work, I have done this before so it makes it a bit more frustrating. The token will not work. I have now created 2 apps in the meta developer trying to get one of them to work.

    when you try to add you in the meta developer account it comes up with an error see attached. This is what i was seeing for the past few days when i tried it. I also tried to do it from the FB meta suite side and same thing cant add that user. They have changed some methods in the past weeks or months. https://nebcreative.com/images/add-admin-or-developer-error.jpg

    this error occurs if i try to add you as administrator or developer just a note

    same error, both on fb meta suite and in the meta developer account. I can give you the ig login directly but i believe it will text my client and we would have to be awake to do this he is in California and I am in Boston area, so its a bit of a time issue but we could try it.

    thanks

    Hello, Nebcreative,

    We have reviewed the XStore Dashboard under the API Integration section for Instagram and noticed that the token does not appear to be added – https://prnt.sc/bz5ZscAxJy7W

    To assist us in understanding the issue more clearly, we kindly request that you create a video recording that demonstrates the step-by-step process you are following based on the guide available at https://xstore.helpscoutdocs.com/article/189-instagram-api-token. This will enable us to observe your settings and identify the potential cause of the problem.
    Upload the video on a filesharing service, for example – https://wetransfer.com/ , and provide us with URL.

    Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to your prompt response.

    Kind Regards,

    What ? The token doesn’t work I explained that as I absolutely know how to do it, it is depricated and will not actually work, I have seen this issue on another site that used a plugin for ig feed, I am unable to add anyone that isn’t my friend on fb to be an admin or a developer in meta developer

    Hello, Nebcreative,

    We appreciate your prompt response.

    “token is created” – please proceed to insert the token into the designated area on your site’s Dashboard – https://prnt.sc/sXedcVVAOR8w
    “it is showing is tiny tiny little thing please view bottom of home page….” – once the token is added, edit page content, and select the Instagram account – https://prnt.sc/BV-tciwcbroL

    “am still unable to add your 2 users with email supplied because it only lets me search “friends” on meta developer” – we recommend reaching out to Facebook support for further assistance on this matter.

    We appreciate your attention to these instructions and look forward to your successful implementation of the necessary changes.

    i believe you misunderstood what i was saying. I was stating that you can not be added to ANY meta developer account in anyway without being friends on fb, which is fine as i have got the token aspect all set

    The issue is the size of the images in the feed they are 1/2″ or even smaller and its not very useful, I need the settings properly managed as non of them work really. I also really dislike the elementor editor as it is just not great, not too far off from the wp block editor really, but at least it is a step up from that. wp bakery way better for ease of use that is. I am noting this as speed of working on sites is key to making money.

    Either way I would appreciate some help to make the slide show or image posts from IG look at least a bit normal before i simply have to buy a plugin to do all this, which these days is few and far between.

    thanks
    Nate

    Happy New Year!
