High Resolution Images

To enable this bleeding edge feature navigate to Instagrate Pro > Settings > Global and turn on “High Resolution Images”.

Non-Square Images

To allow the plugin to post images of different sizes, turn on the ‘Non Square Instagram Images’ setting in Instagrate Pro > Settings > API. You will need to disconnect from and reconnect to Instagram for any accounts that you want to post non-square images. This means that the images will be reloaded in the account settings page as pending, so be sure to then manually ignore the images already posted.

Also make sure you don’t have any ‘height’ or ‘width’ attributes in the image defined in the account content, which may interfere with the non square image ratio.

Updating

However, the downside to this release is that the service we used to provide automatic updates for our plugins has been shutdown. This means for this update you will need to download the latest zip file from your Sellwire receipt, delete the existing instagrate-pro folder inside your wp-content/plugins directory and unzip the file and copy the instagrate-pro across to the wp-content/plugins directory on your site.

You will not lose your existing settings by manually updating in this way. Please do not deactivate and delete the plugin via the WordPress dashboard as that will remove data.

Please contact us if you have lost your online receipt via https://intagrate.io/support/ and we will be happy to send you the link.
