== External services ==

This plugin relies on the **Instagram Graph API** to fetch media content (images and videos) from your Instagram account to display in your gallery.

* **Service:** Instagram Graph API (Meta Platforms, Inc.)
* **What data is sent:** Your Instagram Access Token, media IDs, and query parameters to specify image/video fields and limits. 
* **When data is sent:** Data is sent via a server-side request (`wp_remote_get`) every time the gallery shortcode is loaded on your site.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I get an access token? =
Access tokens are created through Facebook's developer portal. Our video tutorial walks through each step: [Watch Tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEXDGIeIq_8)

= Why is my instagram feed not loading? =
Check if your access token is valid. Tokens expire and need periodic renewal. Re-generate a token if it stopped working.

= Can I display an instagram reels video? =
Yes. The plugin supports fetching and playing reels. A play icon will show on the video.

= How do I customize my instagram gallery? =
Use the settings page in your dashboard. You can set columns, image spacing, and captions.

= Will this social media gallery slow down my site? =
No. Images load from external servers, not your hosting. This keeps your website loading fast.

= Can I link an instagram post to the original page? =
Yes. You can enable link redirection in settings. This redirects clicks to the instagram photo feed.

= Does it work with private accounts? =
No. Only public account posts can be fetched. Switch your account to public to display photos.
