Plus, you can even display your own Instagram content with the help of an Instagram feed wall. Then, your brand can get tons of likes, comments, and followers with ease.

And that’s just the start. Adding Instagram feed walls can help your business in lots of different ways.

  • You can create shoppable Instagram feed walls to give your visitors an easy shopping experience and increase your sales.
  • To boost your conversions, you can show customer reviews, testimonials, and product demonstrations from Instagram on your site.
  • Your Instagram feed wall can also show posts that have your own branded hashtag. That way, you can improve your social media presence.
  • With Instagram video galleries, your website can keep visitors interested for much longer – and that means better SEO for you.

As you can see, Instagram feed walls can help you grow your social media presence, boost engagement, and get more sales with ease.

To help you out, we’re going to show you the simplest way you can embed Instagram feed walls on your site.

Easiest Way to Add Instagram Feed Walls

If you want to show Instagram content on your website, there are 2 ways you can do it:

  • Manual Way: Get the embed codes snippets for all the Instagram posts you want to show and manually add them to your website.
  • Easy Way: Use a WordPress plugin to create, customize, and embed Instagram feeds on your site in a few clicks.

With the manual way, it’s much more time-consuming since you can only add Instagram posts 1 at a time. On top of that, it’s also more complicated since you have to deal with a lot of code.

It’s also much harder to customize your Instagram feed wall that way. So, you might have to hire expensive developers to make the wall fit your branding.

To make it much easier, you can just use a WordPress plugin like Instagram Feed Pro.

That way, Instagram Feed Pro is completely safe.

To confirm the read-only access, click on the Allow button on the popup.
