Instagram links not showing photos anymore?

[DouglasVB]

It looks like the forum code isn't supporting Intagram links anymore?

When I paste a link in like this, no image. Just a weird login thing.

And when I try to add it from the media button, it gives me an error of "oops, we ran into problems."

You were previously able to embed photos from Instagram into posts?

 

[DouglasVB]

Yeah I'm pretty sure I was able to...

From XenForo:

Unfortunately Instagram no longer supports embedding Instagram posts in the same way as before.​

​

It therefore is just rendering as a normal URL unfurl. We have no control over the content served when we try to unfurl content. When we attempt to unfurl Instagram links it seems to be returning a login form rather than the content.​

​

Ultimately, it's expected and there's nothing that can be done.​

I may be able to enable Instagram photos with a plugin, but the question is how many people need this? This is the first that I have heard of anyone posting photos to Instagram first and then trying to show them on the forum.

Oh good question! If I'm the only one, then probably doesn't make much sense to do it.

What's Instagram?

I vote, post images here directly. Many a great thread has outlived it's image links.
