What it does
Many site owners post regularly on Instagram, but those photos and videos rarely make it onto their website without manual copying or clumsy embeds. This plugin connects your Instagram account and builds feeds that appear on your pages automatically. You pick a feed type, such as your own posts, a hashtag, Reels or tagged posts, or you combine several. Over a dozen pre-built templates and feed themes give you a starting layout, and you can then adjust the design so the feed blends in with your site or stands out.
Once a feed is live, you keep control from the WordPress admin. Visual moderation lets you hide or highlight specific posts, and shoppable feeds link individual posts to product pages or any custom URL. Images are cached locally and served at optimized sizes, and backup caching keeps posts visible if Instagram is unavailable. An analytics dashboard shows engagement data inside WordPress, and dashboard alerts flag problems affecting your feeds. You can place as many feeds as you like across the site, each with its own settings.
Best for
- Bloggers who share photos and videos on Instagram
- Small businesses linking Instagram posts to products
- Marketers running several feeds across one website

Questions about SmashBalloon – Custom Instagram Feeds Pro
Can I show posts from a hashtag instead of my own account?
Yes. Along with user feeds, the plugin supports hashtag feeds, Instagram Reels and tagged posts. You can also combine these sources into a single feed if you want a mix of your own content and posts from others.
Can I stop certain Instagram posts from appearing on my site?
Yes. Visual moderation lets you hide specific posts or highlight the ones you want people to notice. It works from a visual interface, so you can manage what appears in each feed without editing any code.
Will my feed still display if Instagram goes down?
The plugin includes backup caching, so previously loaded posts stay visible even when Instagram experiences downtime. Images are also cached locally on your site, and dashboard alerts let you know if something is affecting your feeds.
Can I link Instagram posts to products in my store?
Yes. Shoppable feeds let you attach a link to individual posts, pointing to a product page or any custom URL you choose. Visitors who click a post are taken straight to that page.
