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

1. Log in to your Instagram account.
2. Find your Instagram username or the username of an Instagram account that you’d like to add to the feed.
3. Append the Instagram username to the end of this URL: http://widget.stagram.com/rss/n/USERNAME
4. Visit the URL.
5. You’ll see an XML document appear in your browser window.

Using Feed to Post

The Method

1. 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.
2. Once you click on the “Fetch RSS” button you’ll be taken to the XML feed, as shown below. From here, copy the URL.
   
   

   

3. 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.
