The Alternative
In the case where the Instagram feed is very important for your store, consider installing an app from the official Shopify Apps Store
Notes :
- Adding third-party apps may not be free, moreover we are unable to guarantee that the app will integrate with Plak theme. Any conflicts with the added app and Plak theme would need to be resolved by the app’s developers.
- This will only impact the Instagram feed which has been added to your store through the Plak Theme Editor and does not affect any of your sales channels like the Instagram Channel or your Instagram social icon.
Future releases of Plak theme (starting from V.14) will exclude the Instagram feed section.
