How do I add an Instagram widget to Elementor?

Drag Elementor's HTML widget onto your page, paste your SnapWidget embed code in the HTML Code box and click Update. You need no Instagram add-on, and free Instagram widgets work. On free Elementor the widget shows, but the lightbox will not open, because free Elementor strips the stylesheet line from the code.

How it works inside Elementor

Paste into the HTML widget: Find HTML under General in the Elements panel, drag it onto your page and paste the code in the HTML Code box.
No extra add-on: You use the HTML widget that comes with Elementor, so there is no Instagram add-on to install or update.
Lightbox needs paid Elementor: Free Elementor strips the stylesheet line from the code, so a lightbox will not open. Our guide says you need the Essential plan or higher for it.
