Instagram / Twitter Widgets ?

[Rik]

Using Designer Pro+

A while back, I inserted a Twitter Widget into a website and all seems to work.

I now need to insert an Instagram Widget.

Never mind the fact that I can't find an Instagram Widget in the on-line catalogue (that Xara offers), I can't even get a Twitter Widget to work if I wanted to.

For example:
I go to the On-Line Catalogue
Select 'Social Media'
Select 'Twitter'
Scroll all the way down and choose 'Import' on Twitter Widgets

What I get is a page that says 'Nothing to see here'
If I click on 'Insert' I then get a message that says 'Unable to insert HTML....'

So, never mind the Instagram Widget, I can't even get the Twitter Widget to work now.

EDIT: I tell a lie about the Twitter Widget. I remember now that I went here [https://help.twitter.com/en/using-tw...-twitter-feed] to get the code to embed the Twitter feed.
So, it wasn't a Xara Widget.

But...my can Xara insert an Instagram Widget?

Rik, just ask Xara to replace Internet Explorer in their Widget presentation & Content Catalogue.

Failing that you need to access the Social Media Platform and seek out their Embed code and add to your Placeholder directly.

Remember you’ll need your, or your clients log in for the Twitter or Instagram account. Placeholder, then insert code.

Thanks for your replies, guys.

I'll contact Xara and see how it goes.

I am closing this Thread as the suggested solution was for Xara to replace the embedded IE application used in all third-party widgets.
Xara has done this in its updated Plus products. I assume this will extend to later versions of the Magix pnes in due course if not already.
