Some feeds provide 302 temporary redirect status codes and will not load images

[pthurmond-vmlyr]

I am finding that some feeds are providing 302 status codes, which is a redirect. But for some reason will not render the redirected image.

Example this fails: https://www.instagram.com/soapandglory/
But this one is fine: https://www.instagram.com/pjerky/

Yes, the second one is my very underused personal one. But I found this to be true in testing other feeds. Not sure what can be done about it to be honest.

Hi @pthurmond-vmlyr
I have the same problem! I saw what is happening on the websites that move the caption on the images.
In the examples on the official website the problem is also happening, see: https://www.sowecms.com/demos/InstagramFeed/#examples

@jsanahuja Is there any solution? Thank you all so much for your help.

Same issue here, across completely separate websites and separate IG usernames.

I'm seeing this same thing as well, on separate sites, separate IG users.

Is the problem happening again, any solution?
On the official website the examples present problems too, so I believe it is a bug.

Pretty sure IG are tightening access to their data again, I am unable to load data via the __a=1 param that used to work for past few years.

I think Instagram is rate limiting by the client IP address. It's not by website, Instagram account...

As a test for yourself.. for a website/account that is not working.. open that same site up on a different computer/phone that has a different public IP address. For me I did this my tethering my PC to my phone when it was on cellular data and not Wi-Fi.

Please report back your tests here to confirm this issue.

I tried the same thing and it worked for a few reloads and then failed.

Same here..... any updates?

I've been researching the problem and as I understand it, Instagram found a method to block requests for images. Even using a proxy this is occurring. Even if they manage to switch to another proxy server, later they will block again. :(
Unfortunately I think it's the end :(

Oh my !! All company websites where we used the plugin failed with this new Instagram block!
Sad

I'm having the same problem on a lot of my websites
Seems to show the placeholder and the text description but doesn't provide the images
Any ideas on how to solve this ;o(

Same problem here :/

Hello, not wanting to be negative, but I believe that it will be very unlikely to find a solution since instagram is very strict in unauthenticated access.

As I have several sites that depend on a smilar script, I searched and improved two scripts that use the new official method via the graph.instagram API.

The first uses javascript and the second PHP cURL, I am still testing it but the results have been great.
