These settings must be on, otherwise it blocks fetching external files from Instagram.

allow_url_fopen = On
allow_url_include = On

Also, any changes to php.ini will only be in effect if the server gets rebooted or reloaded.

at the end of broken profile page I get following error too

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_FUNCTION in /home/public_html/mod/instagram/lib/instagram.php on line 5

line 5 is ini_set('allow_url_fopen', 1);

hosting says they did everything fine and verified, but still same error ... anything else I can try?

Remove the ini_set since they changed the php.ini settings. Enable the plugin on your site again, I want to test it out.

@stefano looks like it's working now, I just checked your site.

works like a charm :)

thanks a lot for your prompt and continued support!

No problem.

Hi Cim,

the plugin stopped working and I get again the error "/!\ error getUserIDFromUserName. /!\ error empty username or access token."

Can you suggest what could cause the problem?

Thanks in advance 

in the error log I can find these two lines:

[Sun Jul 24 08:36:21 2016] [error] [client 79.20.85.7] " in file /home/kitetrib/public_html/mod/instagram/lib/instagram.php (line 114), referer: http://kitetribe.net/activity

in that file at line 114 is written:

            else { $request = file_get_contents($url); }

but I can't undertsand ...
