  • Excellent lightweight plugin

    This plugin stands out for being simple, efficient, and lightweight. It does exactly what it promises without unnecessary bloat. The developer is responsive and open to feedback. Highly recommended!

  • Simple and works!

    What the title says. Simple, light and does the job. A pleasant surprise given all the other bloated and complex alternatives I tried. Love the lightbox feature too... thanks!!

  • Simple, but it works

    I had been using a different add-on the whole time until it just stopped displaying anything. That's why I fiddled with the settings for several days without success. Fortunately, this add-on is available as a replacement.It doesn't offer many setting options, but I don't need them anyway. It's supposed to display my Instagram posts properly in a widget, and it does that. Very quick to set up and it works perfectly!Thank you very much!
