The Shella documentation to setup the Instagram section appears to be out of date as of Oct 15 2019. The link provided in the documentation where I need to register an application shows the following message “Starting October 15, 2019, new client registration and permission review on Instagram API platform are discontinued in favor of the Instagram Basic Display API.”
Are there new instructions for using the Instagram Basic Display API? What should I do to get this working?
From october, 15 there are changes on Instagram site. For now we’re reviewing this new functionality and analyze how to implement it in our theme again. We hope we can create a new widget based on new Instagram API or other decision.
But you can for now use Instagram Builder with Instagram blocks in it.
Than in it add as many Instagram blocks as you need - https://mpthemes.net/shella-shopify-theme/documentation/#builder_instagramm_block. In each small Instagram Block you can add image and link to instagram posts. The block will be created manually by you. But images will be linked to Instagram account. Also you will have to update these blocks manually. They will not load images from your instagram account
Instagram changed access to API. We’ve uploaded a new app, to get access to a new API. It is under review now. Unfortunately, I don’t know when Instagram will approve it.

Dear angela,
How is this matter going?? have you find any solution to get same functionality as previous instagram widget??
I understand that in the meantime we should do it manually, but just to know if you have some progress.
thanks in advance :)

Instagram changed access to API. We’ve uploaded a new app, to get access to a new API. It is under review now. Unfortunately, I don’t know when Instagram will approve it.
For now you can use following tool to generate token – https://outofthesandbox.com/pages/instagram-access-token
Use – d90570a773384033819c7b43cec8132c for client ID.
thanks!
