I was wondering if you could have an option to only post photos if they have a certain hashtag. I like sharing some of the photos to my blog, but not all of them. Otherwise it is a great plugin!

Iain

Thanks Brian! Something that is planned. I have added a small development plan for everyone to view. If anyone has any suggestions not on the plan feel free to reply!

I’d love to see “post formats”-support. It would be nice to post Instagrate-photos as “image”-format – if the theme supports it – ADDED 1.1.0

The ability to center the photo on the post would be great!

March 5, 2012 at 7:54 am #340

Iain

Hi Jason

That can be done in the plugin options by changing the CSS class of the post image. I use the default WordPress class for post images to center “aligncenter”.

Cheers

Is there anyway to get on an update list for Hashtag specific posting. We are very interested in that feature!

March 6, 2012 at 6:20 pm #353

elizabeth

I *think* the hashtag feature might be the solution I’m looking for but ideally, I’d like to be able to NOT post something to my blog periodically.

otherwise, it’s beautiful and I love it!

Hi there,

Thanks for the great plugin! Really loving the integration – all works superbly.
My question is directly related to one of the items in your dev plan as we are in significant development of a networking site which we aim to launch in summer – the main point that would be a huge bonus would be the integration with multiple accounts so that any users that register on our site can have the ability to auto feed their instagram pics directly to their profiles.

So as I see it’s on the plan, I was wondering if you had a timeframe ie., would it be realistic to expect that by June you may have this in a new release or is that a bit optimistic?

Hope to hear from you and thanks again for a great API integration!

Ant

HI there

Further to my post above, as it’s something that we really do need in order to make the site work, I’d be willing to donate/pay for the service if it means you can allocate time to add it to the next release. If you could let me know, I’d be much obliged.

Hi Ant, sent you an email, cheers – Iain

Thanks so much Iain – am responding now.

Hashtag posting function fro any account, please! Great plugin, thanks!

March 22, 2012 at 5:21 pm #459

Mike Kaplan

*from any account. Thanks.

Hi guys, version 1.1.0 has lots of new features – check it out!

March 26, 2012 at 3:25 pm #470

Dan

Hi Iain,

Love the plugin. I’ve not upgraded or tested v1.1.0 yet, but will do ASAP.

Two things I think would be great;

1: I had a few pics that were un-named in Instagram and the name was blank when selecting the dropdown in the settings, this was a little confusing, perhaps un-named pics could be given a default name of “No Name” or something?

2: Rather than a post per pic could there be a weekly round-up of pics? Like a gallery style view?

Thanks for the awesome plugin.

Dan

March 26, 2012 at 4:48 pm #473

Iain

Hi Dan,

Glad you like the plugin!

Yes I agree with your first point and will add it to the development plan for the next release. Your second point is a much requested feature and is on the plan.

Cheers, Iain

March 26, 2012 at 5:59 pm #475

Dan

It would be nice if in the WordPress media library, the “title” of the image was set to the title from Instagram rather than the file name.

March 30, 2012 at 11:38 pm #498

Jerry

Hi!

If i choose not to store the image in library, i wont get a featured image. Since all my instagrams shows up in a slider that shows the featured image, that doesnt work that good for me and i have to store them in my medialibrary. Its possible to have a featured image set from the link? Would save a lot of space… :)

March 31, 2012 at 5:45 pm #503

Iain

Hi Jerry

I believe featured images can only set from attachments in the media library, and therefore the plugin is operating within the functionality set out by WordPress.

Cheers

This is the feature I came here to request and someone had already asked:

“I was wondering if you could have an option to only post photos if they have a certain hashtag. I like sharing some of the photos to my blog, but not all of them. Otherwise it is a great plugin!”

April 3, 2012 at 3:04 pm #510

Hi James,

Thanks for the post – it’s definately on the dev plan!

Hi!

It’s possible to create all the Instagram feed as posts?

It would be interesting to create posts of all images present in Instagram feed.
I know it is complicated by the large number of images which can be… perhaps make 10/25/50/etc batch…

Thanks!

April 4, 2012 at 6:49 pm #526

Michael

Got two “requests”

Could there be a %%-option to put a link to the actual instagram page in the Custom Body Text, e.g. %%link%% will produce a “View image @ Instagram” linked to the actuall instagram page where the picture is located.

An option where you can chose to put the “title” as a caption for the image in your WP-post.

Other than that, thanks for a super great plugin >^_^<

April 7, 2012 at 4:49 pm #539

Brian Healy

Great plugin! My only small gripe is that the plugin doesn’t automatically attach images to the posts, which is a pre-requisite for a gallery portfolio page I use on my website (otherwise it doesn’t display the image).

If that could be incorportated into a future release it would save me a lot of time having to manually attach the images to the created post so the images show properly. :D

Iain

Thanks for the suggestions fresonpower, Michael and Brian – will add to the dev plan.

I second this request! Great plugin!

“I was wondering if you could have an option to only post photos if they have a certain hashtag. I like sharing some of the photos to my blog, but not all of them. Otherwise it is a great plugin!”

Would be nice to have support for post types if there are Post types registered with a theme (see http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type).

Stephan

April 20, 2012 at 6:32 pm #625

Dave

Is there a way to move the caption to below the photo?

Thanks!

April 21, 2012 at 10:43 am #627

Iain

Hi Dave, you can use the %%image%% and %%title%% tags to position them in the custom post body setting in the plugin settings.

Cheers, Iain

April 23, 2012 at 5:15 pm #641

Dave

Iain,
Thanks for the reply, but maybe I’m not educated enough in these tags to understand how to use them. I’ve tried using them, but nothing changes on the posts when I do. I’ve also exhausted my google-fu because when I use the “%%” in my search, it’s not recognized by the search engine.
Anyway, can you give me a little more specific information as to how I can use the %%image%% and %%title%% tags to position the caption below the photo?

Thanks you!
Dave

April 23, 2012 at 8:36 pm #645

Iain

Hi Dave,

In my plugin settings I set the ‘Custom Body Text’ to something like this –

This is some body text next to the shot %%image%% for image called %%title%%

You could just set it to -

%%image%%
%%title%%

So it has the image with the title underneath it.

Let me know how it goes,
Iain

Sam

Would love to be able to link the photo in the WordPress post to the Instagram page for the photo (where it shows likes, account name, followers, etc, i.e. http://instagr.am/p/J2Q-DmveNZ/) rather than just the raw photo itself.

April 25, 2012 at 5:28 pm #671

Iain

Thanks Sam, good idea – adding to the dev plan now.

Cheers
Iain

April 27, 2012 at 9:20 pm #686

Dave

That’s what I thought you meant, and I tried it. Currently have the tags in place, but the old posts still have the caption on top. Will it apply the change to the old posts, or only to new ones?

Thanks again,
Dave

April 28, 2012 at 9:11 am #696

Iain

Hi Dave
Sorry yes it will only apply it to new posts. For the old ones you could edit the posts manually or delete them then set the last image in the plugin settings so it reposts the old ones.

Cheers
Iain

Rachel

Hello,

I love the plugin! One thing that would be handy for me is if the WP posts could be generated as drafts, rather than immediately published. I like to customise each one (with tags, categories, body copy, sometimes combining a few of the Instagram images into one post, etc.)

Cheers!

Hey Rachel – on the list and working on it!

Version 1.1.2 released with ability to set post status

May 15, 2012 at 9:50 pm #816

Jeffrey

How about a way to Wrap a Link around the image to the original Instagram post?

May 18, 2012 at 8:35 am #834

vincent

Hi.
Great plugin.
Firstly:
Multiple instagram users. I would love it. But, I know, you are working on it. :D

Secondly:
Hashtags from instagram -> tags or categories in wordpress. I myself would love it if the pictures placed themselves into the categories that I have tagged them with but I guess hashtag -> tag is more intuitive.

Thanks.

May 19, 2012 at 8:47 pm #846

Jeff

would love to be able to see likes and comments somehow. I really hope to see that in the near future! Love the plugin regaurdless!

May 28, 2012 at 9:36 pm #951

Matthias

Only can repeat the suggestion from Sam, somehow getting the link for the Instagram photo page. For my use case a custom link tag for use in the Custom Body field would be perfect, something like %%instagramlink%%

May 30, 2012 at 2:33 am #955

kevin

I love this plugin. I do have one request though. It would be helpful to have the file names of images added to the media library be same images caption. Or have a dynamic default title for images that don’t have a caption. The current files names consist of a random array of characters that aren’t search engine friendly.

May 30, 2012 at 2:37 am #956

kevin

One more thing… would love to see all hashtags converted to post tags.

June 22, 2012 at 1:01 am #1075

DD

Great plugin! Thanks.

Is there any way to automatically set the instagram post image as the featured image as well? With the theme I have all posts have featured images.

June 22, 2012 at 1:23 am #1076

DD

Damn! I didn\’t see it. You are awesome!

June 22, 2012 at 8:23 am #1078

Iain

Thanks DD!

July 6, 2012 at 10:49 pm #1209

Dave

I would love when using the gallery option if the thumbnails would link back to the original instagram post and not the image that has been saved to my wordpress.
