How to enable and set up the Instagram widget on the homepage, how to add a link to your Instagram to the header and footer of the website

Updated this week

Unlike Facebook, Instagram does not provide its own code for the official widget. To place an Instagram widget on your website, you need to find a third-party developer that provides this feature. You can search for an Instagram widget for your website. One example of such third-party solutions is widg.io.

How to set up the widget

The widget is set up in two stages: on the developer's website and on your Cartum website.

On the developer's website:

  1. Set up your widget according to the developer's instructions. In the widg.io service, you need the Instagram Social Feed widget.

  2. Get the widget installation code. For Instagram, there will be two of them and they will look something like this:
