Add an Instagram feed to a Wix website using Behold

Behold widgets make it simple to add beautifully designed live Instagram galleries to your Wix website.

1. Create a widget in Behold

To get started first connect a source and create a widget.

Next you’ll need to have your widget’s feed ID handy:

  1. Navigate to the feeds page and click anywhere on your widget to open the widget details page.
  2. Click on “Embed code” in the sidebar
  3. Copy the “feed-id” value from the embed code. If the embed code is feed-id="EXAMPLE_ID", you would only copy the EXAMPLE_ID part.

2. Add your widget to Wix

Using a Custom Element allows your widget to be fully responsive, and avoids some of the layout and styling issues caused by iframes.

  1. Add a new custom element embed by going to Add Elements → Embed Code → Custom element
  2. Select the newly added element, click “Choose Source”, and enter https://w.behold.so/init.js into the “Server URL” input.
  3. Scroll down and enter behold-widget in the “Tag name” field.
  4. Close the “Choose Source” popup and click on “Set Attributes”.
  5. Add a new attribute with the name feed-id. Paste your feed ID from Behold into the value field.
  6. That’s it! Your widget should appear. Once added, you can resize, add padding, etc.

Common issues

  1. It’s usually best to turn off the Customize → Layout → Max width setting in Behold. That way your widget will fill the width of its container in Wix.

  2. If you’re using breakpoints, it’s important to remember that they are based on the width of the widget, not the screen. So if you have a widget inside a small container in Wix, it might trigger one of your breakpoints.
