Sliders make it easy to catch the attention of the people who visit your WordPress site. These sequences of images create a dynamic display to keep site content fresh and interesting. With the Instagram Slider widget, you can put together an ever-changing collection of images from your Instagram account or with a particular hashtag. The widget pulls in either 12 or 18 photos depending on the display type you choose.

If you prefer a grid layout, Instagram Slider offers a thumbnail option to show the photos you specify. Customize how images are sorted to create the perfect display to complement your site’s layout and content.
