Why is instagram embed code only showing an instagram icon, not the image?

Question

I was wanting to embed a photo from my instagram account in to my blog. I thought it would be a simple case of copying the embed code from the photo, paste it in to my edito

Answer 1

I'm getting on to this one late but currently the issue appears to happen on a number of sites still.

After some research on my own site I noted an error in the console on loading. Following the link in the error it took me to the following location

https://www.instagram.com//www.instagram.com/static/bundles/es6/EmbedSDK.js/47c7ec92d91e.js

obviously that page doesn't load js as it is not a proper web link.

To overcome this, replace this line at the bottom of your embed

with this

It works currently but if they change the js url again it may break the link.

It should appear now.
