Can't embed IG posts today

[vank]

Could do it all week and now we can't embed instwgram posts anymore

Anyone else

I can currently replicate this on my forum. However, all embeds over the past few days are showing correctly. I do not have a solution. I'm only stating that I can replicate the issue.

Is it that you can't embed, or that embeds posted today do not properly render the thumbnail?

The first would be a potential issue with PB, the second is likely an issue with IG and you'll have to wait it out. PB doesn't do anything as far as what is displayed, they just make it so that it can be displayed based on the info provided by IG.

So all the ones I embedded yesterday are still there, but I go to embed today and it shows up as a link even if I try to re embed a post from yesterday

Yeah this is most likely an IG issue. Something is preventing stuff embedded today from being displayed on an external site. Since PB has not made any changes in recent history to the way IG embeds are handled, this is most likely a temporary service issue from IG. It's unlikely that it's a problem with embedding IG posts on PB's end as past embeds are still showing correctly.

I would wait 24-48 hours to see if it resolves. If it doesn't, I would personally reach out to IG.

It isn't really uncommon, for what it's worth. Sending content to display on an external site can get bumpy if the service the content is originally on changes something, experiences an internal issue, experiences an external issue... the internet is basically held together with tubes and bubblegum, so even small changes or mistakes can cause problems of varying degrees (and the size of the mistake isn't necessarily indicative of how big the resulting problem might be, a small mistake could lead to massive issues and vice versa).
