Change Popup settings in Widget
When it comes to enhancing user interaction on your site, every click counts. Customizing the popup effects for your embedded Instagram posts not only improves engagement but also helps guide your visitors exactly where you want them to go. Whether you're looking to redirect them to your Instagram page, open a popup with post details, or do nothing at all — it’s all up to you. This guide walks you through the options available and how to configure them for the best user experience.

Popup Profile Information Settings
When a visitor clicks on an Instagram image on your site, you can decide what happens next. Here are the three main options you can choose from:
- This option opens a detailed popup of the post directly on your website.
- It’s great for keeping visitors engaged on your site while still showing the Instagram content.
- This redirects the user to your actual Instagram page.
- Best for building your Instagram following or encouraging direct interaction on the platform.
- No action occurs after clicking the image.
- Ideal if you prefer a static gallery with no redirects or popups.
You can further enhance the popup by displaying additional profile and post details. These settings make the experience feel more personalized and authentic, closely replicating the look and feel of Instagram itself.
- Displays the Instagram profile name in the popup.
- When clicked, it redirects users to your Instagram profile page.
- Useful for branding and increasing profile visits.
- These options allow you to display post captions, the posting date, engagement metrics (like and comment counts), and a link to “View on Instagram.”
- These are different from the basic Item settings — they appear specifically within the popup.
- Ideal for giving visitors context and encouraging deeper interaction.
Customizing popup effects for your embedded Instagram posts is a simple but powerful way to control your audience’s journey. Whether you want to keep them engaged on your site, direct them to your Instagram page, or provide a clean, distraction-free gallery — the choice is yours. Play around with these settings to find the perfect mix that fits your goals, brand, and audience behavior.
