You can find your Instagram ID using one of the following methods:
Browse to this address https://www.instagram.com/microsoft/?__a=1
Instagram assigns its registered locations with a Location ID, which is a string of numbers. Some plugins and feeds can use that location ID to act as a filter to display photos from that place, much the same way you can filter using hashtags.
But how to find that number isn’t self-evident. So here’s the quick way to find Instagram’s location ID for any given place.
Log into the Instagram website (instagram.com) using a web browser.
In the search bar, type the name of the place. As you type, you’ll see a list of results update in real time. This will be a combination of places, hashtags, and usernames. What you want to look for are the locations, and they’re identified with the map marker icon, like this:
Click on the location result. You’ll go to the location results page, which will have a map at the top and a grid of photos from that location below.
Look in the browser’s URL bar. You’ll have something along these lines. What you want is the string of digits in the second-last section, like this:
Copy those numbers and paste them into whatever plugin or feed you’re using.

In this article, I am going to show you how to manage PHP Social Stream asset files on your website.
1. First of all, disable automatically adding of asset (.css, .js) files in your social stream. e.g:
<?php
include( './social-stream/social-stream
echo social_stream(
array(
'id' => '1',
'type' => 'wall',
'network' => array(
...
),
'theme' => 'sb-modern-light',
'breakpoints' => array('4', '4', '3', '3', '2', '1', '1'), // Number of items (columns)
'add_files' => false // Disable automatically adding asset (.css, .js) files
)
);
?>
2. Second, add asset files manually to top of your html content within <head></head> tag. e.g:
<head>
<?php
// For All - Common
echo '<link href="'.SB_PATH . 'public/css/colorbox.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />';
echo '<link href="'.SB_PATH . 'public/css/styles.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />';
echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="'.SB_PATH . 'public/js/jquery-1.12.4.min.j
echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="'.SB_PATH . 'public/js/sb-utils.js"></scri
// Only for wall
echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="'.SB_PATH . 'public/js/sb-wall.js"></scrip
// Only for timeline
echo '<link href="'.SB_PATH . 'public/css/timeline-styles.cs
echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="'.SB_PATH . 'public/js/sb-timeline.js"></s
// Only for carousel
echo '<link href="'.SB_PATH . 'public/css/lightslider.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />';
echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="'.SB_PATH . 'public/js/sb-carousel.js"></s
// Only for rotating feed
echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="'.SB_PATH . 'public/js/sb-rotating.js"></s
?>
</head>
Make sure social-stream.php lib is included before all these codes.
Hi there,
Yesterday, Facebook announced changes to the Instagram and Facebook platforms “to continuously improve Instagram users’ privacy and security.” These changes, that got effective immediately, impacted all third-party applications, including Social Board and all of our other social media related products. We are working to address any impact, and want to give you an update on what’s happening.
While there are many changes being made to the Facebook and Instagram platforms that impact the content we collect, rest assured that the majority of features and functionality you turn to Social Board for will continue to operate uninterrupted, including many Instagram and Facebook use-cases.
Our developers are resolving issues and restoring services throughout Social Board and all of our other social media related products but, until further notice, the following features are disabled:
Subsequently, we will announce you about all the changes we are going to make in our products to bring back these features as much as we can.
At the end, we disagree with the way Facebook implemented these changes, but we respect the data privacy concerns rocking the industry today, and strongly champion the need for better controls on user data.
We look forward to our future product launches and resolving any issues that arise from yesterday’s update. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Axent Media

Migrate Guru claims to have the following features and they sound really good. Let’s find out more.

Move your site to and from any web host you want.
Migrate Guru can comfortably handle serialised data with accurate Search and Replace algorithms placed for your convenience unerringly.
You will receive real time email alerts to keep you up to the minute regarding the migration status.

To find these details, follow the steps below:
Note: If you’ve forgotten your password, click on the Forgot password link from the login page. Your web host will then mail you a password reset link, which you can use to set a new password.
Note: If the URLs of either one begin with ‘https://’, they are HTTP authenticated. If your web host domain’s URL is protected with HTTP authentication, you would have received an email with the validation credentials. These credentials can also be retrieved from the site’s server logs.
Now that you have all the required details, enter them in the Migrate Guru form. If you have any more doubts there is a Support and Help section over to the right.
After you click Migrate button, Migrate Guru will send you an email notification confirming that the process of migration has begun.
Meanwhile, you will likely be taken to a screen that depicts the ongoing procedure of your website migration. A connection to this page can be found in the email notice sent to you. The screen will demonstrate some advanced chart once the migration starts. You don’t have to keep your program window open once the migration starts.
On the off chance that you don’t see this screen, or if the migration screen reloads with a blunder message, at that point chances are that something wasn’t entered effectively. Or, on the other hand, in the event that you just made your website, it might take a little time before Migrate Guru can interface with it. Revisit the headings above, and ensure each field is right, precisely and at that point retry.
Once the migration procedure is finished, you’ll get another email from Migrate Guru informing you about the effective migration.
You can view your new site by clicking on the Migrated Site button, which you’ll also receive a link to in your email alert.
