About

WP Instagram widget is a no fuss WordPress widget to showcase your latest Instagram pics. It does not require you to provide your login details or sign in via oAuth.

The widget is built with the following philosophy:

Use sensible and simple markup
Provide no styles/css - it is up to you to style the widget to your theme and taste
Cache where possible - filters are provided to adjust cache timings
Require little setup - avoid oAuth for example

Installation

To install this plugin:

Upload the wp-instagram-widget folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
That's it!

Visit WordPress.org for a comprehensive guide on in how to install WordPress plugins.

Hooks & Filters

The plugin has five filters. The first allows you adjust that cache time for retrieving the images from Instagram:

add_filter('null_instagram_cache_time', 'my_cache_time');

function my_cache_time() {
	return HOUR_IN_SECONDS;
}

The second allows you to filter video results from the widget:

add_filter('wpiw_images_only', '__return_true');

The rest allow you to add custom classes to each list item, link or image:

add_filter( 'wpiw_item_class', 'my_instagram_class' );
add_filter( 'wpiw_a_class', 'my_instagram_class' );
add_filter( 'wpiw_img_class', 'my_instagram_class' );

function my_instagram_class( $classes ) {
	$classes = "instagram-image";
	return $classes;
}

In version 1.3 you also have two new hooks for adding custom output before and after the widget:

wpiw_before_widget
wpiw_after_widget

In version 1.4 and above you can also customise the image loop completely by creating a parts/wp-instagram-widget.php file in your theme.
