  • Shows Wrong Instagram Account

    No matter what I do, it shows my personal Instagram account and not my business account. Beyond frustrating. I just can't wrap my head around it. I've authorized it about 20 times!

  • CANNOT GET TOKEN!

    ERROR: The app was not configured This app is still under development and you do not have the necessary permissions to access it. Change your account to that of a registered test user or ask the administrator for access to the app.

  • le immagini di IG non si aggiornano

    Peccato! :( era tutto ok ma verificando dopo alcune ore, ho visto che nonostante avessimo aggiunto delle nuove immagini sul profilo instagram, la widget è rimasta ferma a quelle precedenti
