Instagram Feed Pro is the paid edition of Smash Balloon Social Photo Feed for WordPress. Use its visual customizer to create and embed Instagram feeds without coding for a standard setup.

Choose the Instagram content visitors see

Build feeds from one or more Instagram accounts, combining accounts in one feed or keeping them in separate feeds. Hashtag feeds let you curate posts around a topic. You can place multiple feeds on the same page or across various pages, and responsive layouts adapt to screen sizes and container widths.

Present posts in a layout that fits

Choose a Masonry or Highlight layout, or use a carousel to display posts in a different format. Professionally designed themes offer ready-made starting points. In the customizer, set the number of photos and columns, photo size, feed width and height, background color, image spacing, header style and post options.

Choose chronological or random photo ordering. Feeds can show captions, likes and comments, and an optional lightbox opens photos, reels and videos in a popup on your website. Visitors can load more posts with a “Load More” button, and you can choose thumbnail, medium or full-size pictures. An optional “Follow on Instagram” button can appear below the feed.

Moderate posts and add links

Use feed moderation to hide or show specific posts. Filters can choose content by hashtag, keyword or specific user posts. For shoppable feeds, add a custom link to an individual post, such as a link to a selected page on your site.

Add feeds to WordPress pages and layouts

Insert a feed with the block for the block editor or the Instagram widget in a widget-ready area such as a sidebar or footer. Instagram Feed Pro is compatible with Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder and other popular page builders. Custom CSS and JavaScript are available for advanced adjustments.

The plugin also supports local WebP images and Instagram oEmbeds. Its one-click GDPR setting integrates with many popular GDPR cookie consent add-ons. Premium customers can contact the support team through the premium contact form.
