Instagram Add On

So, I have the Instagram addon for Lightroom, and it has been working perfectly until today.  Starting today, it will no longer upload anything.  I have done pretty normal actions like restarting Lightroom, and then restarting my computer.  I have changed photos out, in case there were issues with specific photos.  no matter what I do, it will no longer upload anything to my Instagram.

Any suggestions?  or should I just wait a few days to see if there is some glitch going on that is getting fixed?

Update your lr/instagram plugin to the latest version by downloading from the website. It might be a bug that got fixed a few days ago.

instagram has some finicky security measures and really tries to prevent people from using desktop applications so they periodically try to break programs and plugins such as lr/instagram so it is possible they just changed something that needs another update to the plugin. Remember that IG is owned by Facebook and Facebook recently shut down all access from desktop applications which is why you can't do direct Facebook upload from Lightroom Classic anymore.

If you are using a Facebook account to logon, the plugin can't use those according to the plugin's website. It needs to be an instagram account.

That sounds like you need to log out of instagram in the plugin and log back in again
