To embed an Instagram feed into your Webflow website, you can follow these steps:

  1. Obtain your Instagram Access Token: To access your Instagram feed, you will need an Access Token. You can generate this token by creating an app on the Facebook Developer platform and linking it to your Instagram account. Make sure to follow the provided documentation to generate the Access Token successfully.

  2. Install the Webflow Instagram Feed Widget: In Webflow, you can use a third-party widget to embed your Instagram feed. One popular option is the "Lightwidget" widget, which allows you to display your Instagram feed in a grid or slider format. To install this widget, follow these steps:

  • Go to the Lightwidget website (https://lightwidget.com/).
  • Click on the "Get Started" button.
  • Configure the settings for your Instagram feed, such as the number of photos to display and the layout.
  • Click on the "Get Code" button.
  • Copy the provided HTML code.
  1. Add the Instagram Feed Widget to Webflow:
  • Open your Webflow project in the Designer.
  • Navigate to the page where you want to embed the Instagram feed.
  • Drag and drop an HTML Embed element from the Elements panel onto the desired location on the page.
  • Paste the HTML code obtained from the Lightwidget website into the HTML Embed element.
  • Adjust the size of the HTML Embed element to fit your desired feed display.
  • Preview your website, and you should see your Instagram feed embedded.
  1. Customize the Instagram Feed:
  • If you want to further customize the appearance of your Instagram feed, you can use custom CSS styles.
  • Give the HTML Embed element a specific class or ID by selecting it and adding a class or ID name in the Selector field of the Styles panel.
  • Create a new Stylesheet (if needed) or add styles to your existing Stylesheet by navigating to the Designer's Style Manager.
  • Add CSS styles to target the specific class or ID you assigned to the HTML Embed element.
  • Customize the styles to match your website's design and layout.

By following these steps, you can easily embed an Instagram feed into your Webflow website and showcase your latest Instagram posts to your visitors.
