Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    Super easy and fast to implement BUT it loses one star for not displaying a different number of columns on mobile and tablet. ie I wanted to display 2 columns on mobile devices with 4 images, but 4 columns on desktop. I tried Carousel but that doesn’t work either and the navigation arrows unsightly blue can’t be changed. So I’ve hidden the Instagram feed on mobile views. So, I can only use this plugin on desktop:( This topic was modified 4 years, 7 months ago by sylvskin.

    This is a very easy to use Instagram feed widget for the elementor builder. Very easy to customise and lots of features available for the display of the Instagram photos and stories feeds.
