Add Instagram Accounts
Navigate to Olegnax > Instagram Pro : Users to add your Instagram account.
You can add as many accounts as you wish and then show Instagram posts from different accounts in the same or different feeds.
You can add Personal and Business Instagram accounts:
Personal account requires only Instagram account but allows to show images only. Also personal accounts should be renewed every 90 days.
Business account allows to show additional information like post description, likes and comments count, but it requires your Instagram account type to be in “business” and also linked to your Facebook page.
Add Personal Account.

A popup with login to Instagram will appear.
Login to your Instagram account and provide requested permissions to the app.
That is all. You should see your account in the list of users on the Instagram Users page in Magento 2 admin panel. Now you can get posts from this Instagram account.
