Custom Instagram Page
The Sprinkle Pro theme includes a custom Instagram Page Template so you can easily customize the content your Instagram followers see directly from the comfort of your WordPress dashboard.

Footer Instagram
The Sprinkle Pro theme uses the Instagram Feed plugin to import your most recent Instagram posts. For detailed instructions on setting up the Instagram Feed plugin, see THIS TUTORIAL.
To display your Instagram feed in the footer, drag and drop a Custom HTML widget into the Footer Instagram Widget space, using the shortcode shown below.
Footer 1, 2, & 3

After Entry
Content placed in the After Entry Widget area will display after single entries. A newsletter signup form is shown in the demo.
