How do you add Instagram to a Wix website?
The main ways to connect Instagram
Wix site owners usually add Instagram in one of three ways: an Instagram feed app, social icons that link to a profile, or an embed for a specific Instagram post. The right choice depends on whether you want visitors to browse recent posts, follow your account, or see one featured piece of content.
Recommended setup
- Open the Wix Editor or Studio Editor for the site.
- Add a social or Instagram element from the editor, or choose an Instagram-related app from the Wix App Market.
- Connect the Instagram account when prompted and approve the requested permissions.
- Place the feed, button, or embed where it supports the page goal, such as the homepage, footer, blog sidebar, or product landing page.
- Preview the mobile layout before publishing so the feed does not crowd important content.
Best practices
- Use a feed when fresh visual content helps build trust.
- Use social icons when the goal is simple profile discovery.
- Use a single embed for a campaign, testimonial, or announcement.
- Keep page speed in mind by avoiding too many third-party embeds on one page.
After publishing, test the Instagram section in a private browser window to confirm visitors can see it without being logged in to your Wix account.
