How To Use The Instagram Element

Once you have connected your account, add the element to your desired column.

Then it’s just a matter of configuring and styling the element to your liking. You can control the layout, and the number of images displayed, and a number of other things. Read below for a description of all Element options.

Please note that the displayed option screens below show ALL the available options for the element. If you have Avada’s Option Network Dependencies turned on, you will only see options relevant to your selections, and so the options screen look somewhat different.
