To override Hugo’s embedded instagram shortcode, copy the source code to a file with the same name in the layouts/shortcodes directory.

Example

To display an Instagram post with this URL:

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxOWiQNP2MO/

Include this in your Markdown:

{{< instagram CxOWiQNP2MO >}}

Huge renders this to:

Adjust the relevant privacy settings in your site configuration.

privacy:
  instagram:
    disable: false
    simple: false

[privacy]
  [privacy.instagram]
    disable = false
    simple = false

{
   "privacy": {
      "instagram": {
         "disable": false,
         "simple": false
      }
   }
}

disable: (bool) Whether to disable the shortcode. Default is false.
simple: (bool) Whether to enable simple mode for image card generation. If true, Hugo creates a static card without JavaScript. This mode only supports image cards, and the image is fetched directly from Instagram’s servers. Default is false.
