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 ran into this problem and eventually found out that the newer versions of wordpress will auto-embed the image or video if you just past the url on a line by itself in the editor. I suspect this is a very recent addition as I had to search a while to find it. For an example, I used it on this page to add an Instagram video to the post: http://blog.pokefind.com/awesome-pokemon-go-functioning-costume/
