Hey everyone, I’m at my wit’s end here. I finally put up a new blog post with some amazing travel photos, and of course, I wanted to link them to my Instagram for anyone who wanted to see more. But here’s the problem - whenever I click the links on my blog, nothing happens.
I used to be able to do this just fine. Did Instagram change something? Is there a secret blogger handshake I missed for linking these days?
I’ve tried refreshing the page, restarting my computer, the whole nine yards. Still no luck!!..Any advice from my fellow bloggers out there?
Double-check your link format. Sometimes Instagram changes stuff, and it messes with our blogs. Make sure your URLs are up-to-date. I once had to redo all my links after an update. Super annoying, but it worked.
I totally feel your frustration! I recently faced the same issue with my blog when trying to link my travel photos to Instagram. Turns out, Instagram did update their URL structure slightly, so the old links might not work anymore. Make sure your links start with “Mailmail (@yourusername) • Instagram photos and videos” and not just “www.instagram.com/yourusername”. Also, double-check the HTML code to ensure there are no typos or extra characters. If the problem persists, try using a URL shortener like Bitly to see if it helps. This fixed my issue, and now my links work perfectly. Good luck, and happy blogging
