Can anyone help me with the sizing of my new instagram widget? No matter how many images or columns I input it is still stretching too long when viewing on internet explorer browzer. Here's a link to my blog :

Thanks, Alex, but it's not just about me. :) Hopefully others are having more success at customizing the new widget.

The issue you're experiencing is specific to the theme you're using. Some styling from the theme is overriding the widget's styling that is supposed to align it into two columns. :)

Thanks for making instagram widget. I'm new to wordpress ( i used to blog in blogger) and i absolutely love the flexibility it provides.

The widget works great, i'm currently using Oxygen theme :)

Great to hear! :)

@viper007bond- I've added the Instagram widget on my site which uses Triton Lite and I can't seem to create 2 columns in the widget. I wonder if this discussion is pertinent. http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/instagram-embed-widths?replies=8#post-1270568

Thanks for looking Carolyn. This is especially interesting in view of the new Instagram widget. I will be curious to know what the answer is, so I've subscribed to this forum topic.

I went in to your most recent post and removed the width attribute from your Instagram shortcode and the images will then display in their full width of 612px, which will cause the images to wrap as you only have 940px of width in your content post area (960px minus 20px left margin).

But as far as being able to set a specific width, there seems to be only three sizes that will work: 612px (full size), 306px, and 150px. If you post below the threshold of the those three sizes, it defaults to the next smaller size - in your case, the 306px.

I'm going to have someone take a closer look to see what would be causing this and I'll get back to you once I have more information.

Thank you!

OK-understood.

I'm going to tag this for Staff help. I'm getting the same result on my test site as well. Regardless of what width I put in, when the 2 embeds are side-by-side in a shortcode, they won't be any wider than 306 pixels.

If I remove the width, the images display larger than half of the display size.... (thus one image per "line")... Which means they can be displayed at a larger size? I have no widgets in the primary sidebar... only widgets in the middle row and footer area! My widgets display at the bottom of each post as opposed to the side area, I thus have the entire width to use for posts!

From that same Support doc:

By default, the URL embeds the largest size of the image that can fit into the content area.

How are you hiding the sidebar widgets on your single posts? Did you hide them with the Custom Design Upgrade or by changing their "Visibility" on Posts?

Hi all,

If you check out your widgets administration screen (Appearance -> Widgets), I think you'll find something you'll like. :)

Documentation can be found here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/instagram-widget/

If you find any issues with it, please let us know.

Hi! I am having trouble with "resizing" my instagram images in my blog! I use a full page layout for my posts (960 pixel width photographs). I want to embed to instagram images next to each other (using guidelines as given in this link: http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/instagram/
Instead of using width=300 though, I use width=480)! However, my 2 photos does not fill the entire width. I have tried to change the width, but somehow it seems "fixed" at the same size! How do I correct this?

A badge is simply an image that you link to. You can capture an image and upload it, link to it and display it in a text widget.

For creating links in a text widget see:

http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/
NOTE http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/#adding-an-image

You can upload image files by clicking the Add Media button right above the editing area of a page or a post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/add-media/

You can also upload new files to your Media Library using Media → Add New. http://support.wordpress.com/media/media-add-new

Yes, an instagram widget would be great. Right now I'm using the flickr widget, and then sharing every instagram post to flickr so that it will show up on my blog.

The problem with that is I don't want to drive traffic to a flickr account, which I only started to overcome this wordpress problem, I want traffic and followers on my instagram account. The instagram and flickr communities are very different.

And someone else said it above, but it is really strange to have to convince a blog site of the value of an instagram widget.

I have been searching for a way to add this thinking it was me simply not knowing how to do it. Shocked to find out it is not available. I am pretty sure wordpress is the only platform I have seen not offer this feature, even the free hosting sites offer it. Definitely a must have and thinking of switching platforms because of this!

For me, it's both. I was attracted initially to the design, and I couldn't find another design in the currently offered themes that had the same feel.

But I'd also been looking for something that would easily integrate photography on the go (Instagram worked great for that) so this was the perfect fit.
