What’s happening (visual problem)
When the feed is set to show 6 posts, the sixth item renders with no image—just the semi-transparent caption overlay on empty space. Visually it looks like a “ghost” slide: you see text floating in a blank frame, which disrupts the grid layout.
Additional oddity
The caption shown isn’t even the real caption from that shared Reel—it’s a completely unrelated string I can’t find anywhere on Instagram. So not only is the image missing, the text itself appears to be wrong.
Where it comes from
That sixth slot corresponds to a Reel shared into the account rather than an original photo post. Bricks still outputs the <li> and caption, but never displays any media. The link around it even points to a non-existent URL (clicking it yields a 404), yet you get this phantom caption.
Why it’s confusing
- Empty frame: Users expect a thumbnail, but see a blank box with text, breaking the carousel.
- Wrong caption: The text doesn’t match any caption on the source Reel, so it looks corrupted.
- Dead link: Clicking the item leads nowhere.
- Misleading count: “6 posts” shows 6 slots—but one is effectively empty and mislabeled.
How to reproduce
- Add the Instagram Feed element and set “Number of posts” to 6.
- Ensure at least one of the six most recent entries is a shared Reel (not an owned photo).
- Publish or preview the page.
- Observe that the Reel’s slot shows only an incorrect caption on blank, and the link is invalid.
