Instagram Feed Extension For Magento 2 – Changelog

Version 1.2.0.0

15 December 2024

• Added connect to Instagram using new Instagram API with Instagram login.

  As of December 4, 2024, Meta has deprecated the Instagram Basic Display API, which previously enabled connections to personal Instagram accounts. This API has been replaced by the new Instagram API with Instagram Login, which requires users to have a Professional Instagram account, such as a Business or Creator account. https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2024/09/04/update-on-instagram-basic-display-api/

  If you’re currently using a personal Instagram account and wish to display your Instagram feed on your site, you’ll need to switch to either a Business or Creator account ( the new API no longer requires linking a Facebook Page to connect with Instagram).

  How to switch to Professional account




Key Updates and Changes

• Single Account Type Per User

  To prevent issues with duplicate posts, the system now allows only one account type per user so you no longer need to remove old user/token. For example:

  • If a user is added via Facebook, it will replace the existing Instagram-connected user with the same username and a new owner will be assigned to existing posts.
  • Posts will now be fetched only from the active account, and the previous behavior of fetching posts from both accounts is discontinued.

  Important: Removing an old user will also delete any previously fetched posts from that user.

• Admin Panel Enhancements
  • Added profile picture, account expiration dates, and account types in the admin user grid. BUSINESS – account type means it was connected via Instagram. FACEBOOK BUSINESS – it was connected via Facebook.
• Bug Fixes and Improvements
  • Resolved an issue where posts failed to update during scheduled cron jobs.
  • Made slight code refactors and general improvements.

Important: Make a backup before update and delete old plugin files app/code/Olegnax/InstagramFeedPro.
