How to use Instagram?

Wrap any block in a parent element with an ID or class and add the same ID in the JS init function of the hs.instagram.js plugin and include the data-user-id, data-client-id and data-token data attributes.

Copy-paste the following <script> near the end of your pages under JS Implementing Plugins to enable it.

            
              <script src="../../assets/vendor/instafeed.js/instafeed.min.js"></script>

Copy-paste the following <script> near the end of your pages under JS Space to enable it.

            
              <script src="../../assets/js/helpers/hs.instagram.js"></script>

Copy-paste the init function under JS Plugins Init., before the closing </body> tag, to enable it.

            
              <script>
                $(document).on('ready', function () {
                  // initialization of instagram api
                  $.HSCore.components.HSInstagram.init('#instaFeed', {
                    after: function () {
                      // initialization of masonry.js
                      var $grid = $('.js-instagram').masonry({
                        percentPosition: true
                      });

                      // initialization of images loaded
                      $grid.imagesLoaded().progress(function () {
                        $grid.masonry();
                      });
                    }
                  });
                });
              </script>
