READ THIS: Plugin is not working on the server and shows no images

[fleaz]

Hey everyone

Problem

If you use our plugin and it stopped working in production but works perfectly on your local machine ( or on a different server, or has worked in the past and stopped working suddenly) you got hit by the bot detection from Instagram and they blocked the IP address of your server so our plugin can't get any images even for a public profile.

Solution

We have build a service which reroutes all requests from our plugin through a proxy so IG won't see the original source of the request and we can circumvent the blocking at the time pretty reliable. So if you have this problem, drop us an email at support@codemonauts.com an I will provide you the needed configuration and an access key to use our proxy which will get the plugin up and running on your website again :)

Best regards,
Felix

Can I use the same proxy config for multiple websites?

Hey @TomDeSmet,

if the other sites are also build by you/your team, you can totally do this :)
We just want to have a way to contact the "owner" if something happens.

Has you proxy now been blacklisted? Image are now no longer showing again

@DaveBeirne already answered your email. You need to update the plugin.
