Why Add Instagram Feeds to Your Divi Website?
As a popular page builder plugin, Divi makes website design easy so you can create a beautiful WordPress site for your business.
Using all the web design functionalities of Divi, you can add buttons, call-to-action sections, images, animations, and more to build your site — no technical knowledge needed.
Let’s say you’ve already built a great WordPress website for your brand with Divi. The next step is to promote your site so you can get more customers for your business.
And if you want to promote something on the internet, you can’t ignore social media.
There were an estimated 4.89 billion social media users worldwide in 2023, which represented approximately half of the world’s population.
Statista
Just on Instagram, there are over 1 billion active Instagram users that you can reach!
And if you want to use Instagram to promote your brand, an easy way is to add a feed of Instagram posts to your Divi site.
In fact, here are a few great ways an Instagram feed can help your site:
- Boost Engagement – Embedding a hashtag feed of relevant Instagram content captures the attention of your site visitors and encourages them to interact with your site.
- Build Brand Trust – If you embed reviews and testimonials from your customers, they can work as social proof. This means seeing real people enjoying your products can inspire your visitors to make a purchase.
- Increase Sales – When you add a shoppable Instagram feed on your Divi website, you can directly promote your product pages to your site visitors so they’re more likely to buy from you.
- Save Time – You can display beautiful Instagram images and videos on your website without uploading them manually since your Instagram feed is automatically updated.
In addition, showing an engaging Instagram feed can drive your site traffic toward your Instagram account and encourage social sharing. Plus, you can also increase your Instagram followers with embedded social feeds.
But while you can build a great website with Divi, it doesn’t really come with social media marketing features.
So, if you want to effectively promote your website using Instagram, you’ll need the right tool to help you out.
The good news is that we’re going to show you the best Instagram feeds plugin for WordPress so you can start adding Instagram feeds right away.
Even better, this plugin works 100% well with your Divi website as well.
Easiest Way to Add Divi Instagram Feeds to Your Website
If you don’t want to use a plugin, you can manually embed Instagram feeds on your Divi site, but you have to deal with a lot of code snippets and webpages, which can get confusing.
Not to mention, you can only display your Instagram feed to WordPress without a plugin if you’ve been approved as an app developer with Instagram first.
Plus, the customization options are limited if you’re not tech-savvy, so your Instagram feed might not match the design of your Divi website.
Luckily for you, there’s a better, easier, and simpler way.
The easiest way to add Instagram feeds to your Divi website is by using Instagram Feed Pro, the best Instagram feed plugin in the market.
As the #1 Instagram feed aggregator, Instagram Feed Pro helps you create, customize, and embed your Instagram feed on your Divi site in just a few clicks — no coding needed.
On top of that, it’s also packed with amazing features so you can start adding your Instagram feeds right away, such as:

How to Add an Instagram Feed to Your Divi Website (5 Easy Steps)
To embed Instagram feeds on your Divi website, all you have to do is follow the step-by-step instructions below.
Let’s get started.
Step 1: Install and Activate Instagram Feed Pro
To get started, you can get the Instagram Feed Pro plugin from here. Then, all you have to do is install and activate it on your Divi site.
If you’re not sure how that’s done, check out our helpful tutorial on how to install plugins in WordPress.
Step 2: Create Your Instagram Feed
You can now go ahead and create your Instagram feed right away.
Now, go to Instagram Feed » All Feeds from your WordPress dashboard. And then, click on the Add New button to create a new Instagram feed.
After that, you can choose which type of Instagram feed you want to display on your Divi website.
There are 3 options here that you can pick from:
- User Timeline: Show all the photos and videos from your Instagram profile
- Public Hashtag: Choose to show Instagram posts that have specific hashtags
- Tagged Posts: Use your Instagram feed to show posts that have tagged your account
After you pick the Instagram feed type you want from the list, click on Next.
For our tutorial, we’ll go with a user timeline feed.
Step 3: Connect Your Instagram Account
In this step, you can connect your Instagram account to this new feed so that it can show Instagram content on your site.
On the next page, click on the Add Source button.
Next, you can pick between a personal and a business Instagram profile.
With a personal profile, you can basically use all the basic features that you’ve been using on Instagram. A personal profile only allows you to post content from your own Instagram account.
A business profile gives you analytics features and a contact button on Instagram. With it, you can show all kinds of feeds, including hashtag feeds, shoppable feeds, Instagram reels (formerly IGTV), and more.
Pick the Instagram profile you want to embed and then click on Login with Facebook.
Then, select the box next to the Instagram account that you want to use as a source for your Instagram feed on Divi. Next, click on Next.
Since Instagram is now part of Facebook, the next step is to check the box next to the Facebook page that’s connected to the Instagram account that you’re using as the source for your feed.
Finally, you can click Done to give the plugin read-only access to your Facebook account.
This means Instagram Feed Pro can view your Instagram content but can not make any changes, so it’s 100% perfectly safe to use.
To finalize setting up your account, click on the Instagram account that you just connected to your website, then click on Add.
Now, you’ll be taken back to the plugin’s dashboard. You can finally click on Next and integrate your Instagram account with your Divi site.
Step 4: Customize Your Instagram Feed
To help you quickly design beautiful feeds, Instagram Feed Pro comes with feed templates that you can import.
You have lots of different templates with unique designs to choose from:
- Default
- Simple Grid
- Simple Grid XL
- Simple Row
- Simple Carousel
- Masonry Card
- Highlight
- Single Post
- Single Post Carousel
Once you’ve chosen the template you want on your Divi Instagram feed, click on Next.
On the next page, you’ll see the visual feed customizer. Here, you can go ahead and use the live feed editor to customize the design and content of your Instagram feed.
Towards the left, you can see a customization panel that has all the options to change the design of your Instagram feed.
That means you can set your feed layout, color scheme, header style, feed size, load more buttons, post design, and much more in a few clicks.
And on the right side, you can see all of your changes in real time with a live preview of your Instagram feed.
Click on the Feed Layout option to start customizing your Instagram feed for your Divi site.
Here, you can choose between 4 different layout options for your Divi social media feed:
- Grid
- Carousel
- Masonry
- Highlight
With the grid layout, you can show an image gallery with a number of photos and videos in neat rows and columns.
If you want a dynamic look for your Divi social media feed, there’s the carousel option.
This way, you can add a beautiful Instagram slider for your Divi site.
Want to keep the original proportions of your Instagram posts?
Then, you can pick the masonry option like in this example that I created.
Finally, you have the highlight option that can make your Instagram posts more visible.
This layout will increase the size of your posts by 4 times.
Now, just select the Instagram feed layout that you like and click on Save.
Want to continue customizing your Divi Instagram feed? Simply click on the small Customize button.
From here, you can click on the Color Scheme option to continue.
To help you easily set the colors for your Instagram feed, you have 4 color schemes that you can choose from:
- Inherit from Theme: Use colors of your website’s WordPress theme
- Light: Light background and a darker font for your Divi Instagram feed
- Dark: Use a dark background with a light font color
- Custom: Manually select all the colors yourself
Once you pick your color scheme, click on the Save button to confirm your changes.
After that, you can customize your Instagram feed to your liking using the remaining options. You can choose the size, post style, font, follow button design, and much more.
Step 5: Add Your Instagram Feed to Divi

To do that, click on the small green plus icon (+) on your Divi builder page.
You’ll now see the Insert Row popup. Just select from the collection of rows available here by clicking on the one you like.
After that, you’ll see the Insert Module popup. Here, use the search bar to look for the “code” module and select it.
With this module, you can add Divi social media feeds to your page in just a few clicks.
Finally, you can click on the plus icon (+) to add a new module to your Divi page.
Next, use the search bar to look for the code module, and then click on it in the search results below.

Then, just click on the check icon in the bottom right corner.
And you’re done! You’ve now added your Instagram feed to your Divi site.
As you can see, this WordPress social media feed plugin makes it super easy to embed Instagram posts, even if you’re not tech-savvy.
