As of 1st June 2016, Instagram / Facebook only let you embed a maximum of 20 images from your own feed. This means that only the last 20 images you uploaded to Instagram will show. You can no longer display video clips or images that other people have uploaded / shared with you or show images by tags or search keywords. A maximum of 500 website visitors are permitted to view your InstaViewer page each hour. These are limitations imposed by Instagram, not the ProGallery stack. Your use of Instagram is subject to the terms of service presented by Instagram / Facebook. Stacks4Stacks cannot be held responsible for any changes to Instagram which may restrict or stop your ability to use Instagram content in your website. Instagram content may get blocked by ad-blockers or other privacy tools.
