WIP: Instagram Feed fails with token from Meta’s Unified Login

Bugs

Hi Bricks Team,

I’m trying to use Bricks’ native Instagram Feed element with a newly generated Meta access token. The feed displays “Failed to fetch Instagram posts.”

Setup

  • In Meta for Developers, I created an app with the Manage messaging & content on Instagram use case.

  • Meta says “API setup with Instagram login is not available for newer apps” and directs the app to API setup with Unified login.

  • I added my Instagram account as an Instagram Tester, accepted the invitation, and generated an access token under Generate access tokens in the Unified Login setup.

  • I added that token under Bricks → Settings → API keys → Instagram Access Token.

Error

The WordPress debug log reports:

OAuthException, code 190: Invalid OAuth access token - Cannot parse access token

Expected result

The Instagram Feed element fetches and displays posts from the connected account.

Does Bricks’ native Instagram integration support tokens generated through Meta’s current Unified Login setup? If it does, could you clarify the required token type or configuration? If not, could support for this flow be added?

Thanks.

Hello @oliveandlake,

Thanks for the report. Bricks’ native Instagram Feed doesn’t support Meta’s Unified Login yet. We’ve added support for this flow to our internal tracker and will update this thread once it’s available.

Thank you,
Matej
