General

The Alpine Phototile for Instagram wordpress plugin is capable of retrieving photos from a particular Instagram user. The photos can be linked to the your Instagram page, a specific URL, or to a Lightbox slideshow. Also, the Shortcode Generator makes it easy to insert the widget into posts without learning any of the code. This lightweight but powerful widget takes advantage of WordPress’s built in JQuery scripts to create a sleek presentation that I hope you will like.

Instagram WordPress available at WordPress.org.
