Importing from Instagram Feeds
We’d like to note that Instagram doesn’t support RSS feeds by default, so we’ve had to find other third-party services to generate RSS feeds for pages.
Finding the RSS Feed
- Log in to your Instagram account.
- Find your Instagram username or the username of an Instagram account that you’d like to add to the feed.
- Append the Instagram username to the end of this URL: http://widget.stagram.com/rss/n/USERNAME
- Visit the URL.
- You’ll see an XML document appear in your browser window.
NOTE: The above service may be unavailable. If so, there are other services available, such as FetchRSS.
Using Feed to Post

The Method
- Head over to http://widget.stagram.com/rss/n/USERNAME, with the URL of the specified Instagram page where it says “USERNAME”, and open the XML feed from the link provided.
- Once you click on the “Fetch RSS” button you’ll be taken to the XML feed, as shown below. From here, copy the URL.
- Go to WP RSS Aggregator in your WordPress site’s dashboard and click on Add New. Paste the URL of the XML feed and configure the settings to your liking.
- Upon publishing the feed source, the posts will start to get imported as instructed by the settings you set for that source.
