  1. Smash Balloon Social Photo Feed 6.15.1Latest

    • Fix: The data-sharing popup no longer locks you out of your WordPress admin when your choice can’t be saved. You can always close it and keep working.
    • Fix: Deactivating the plugin before WordPress has finished loading (for example with WP-CLI) no longer causes a fatal error.

  2. Smash Balloon Social Photo Feed 6.15.0

    • New: Ask AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor about your Instagram feeds and settings, through the WordPress Abilities API (WordPress 6.9 and newer). They can also make changes once you turn on “MCP Write Access” under Settings > General. Connect an assistant with the free WPVibe plugin, l…

  3. Smash Balloon Social Photo Feed 6.14.0

    • New – You can now choose whether to share anonymous usage data. The setup wizard asks for your consent, and a new Data Sharing tab under Settings lets you review or change your data-sharing and in-plugin notification preferences at any time.
    • Tweak – The About Us page has been refreshed.
    • Fix – Feeds on pages served from a long-lived page cache no longer show up empty, and Load More works again.
    • Fix – Dismissed in-plugin notifications no longer come back after a page reload.
    • Fix – Deactivation feedback is no longer lost when another Smash Balloon plugin is active.

  4. Smash Balloon Social Photo Feed 6.13.1

    • Fix – The Instagram feed block preview in the WordPress editor is styled again on WordPress 7.0 and newer, instead of showing unstyled content with oversized icons.

  5. Smash Balloon Social Photo Feed 6.13.0

    • New – A notice now warns you when a feed has quietly been showing an older saved copy of its posts because Instagram could not be reached, so you find out before your visitors do. The notice becomes more urgent if the connection stays broken.
    • Tweak – Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 7.1.
    • Tweak – The weekly Feed Issue Email Report now also tells you when a feed has quietly been showing an older saved copy of its posts for days, not just when there is an outright connection error.
    • Fix – Rate limits and temporary throttling from Instagram no longer make a working connection look broken or ask you to reconnect. Your feed keeps showing its saved posts and retries on its own once the limit clears.
    • Fix – Repeated failures to refresh a connected account’s access token are now recorded properly, so a connection that keeps failing no longer appears up to date.
    • Fix – Keyboard navigation in the feed customizer no longer gets stuck: with a color picker open, Tab moves through the page normally, switching settings sections no longer pulls focus into the open picker, and tabbing no longer detours into the feed preview.
    • Fix – The connection error notice no longer keeps showing an out-of-date message – including a warning that your Instagram data would be deleted within 7 days – after the problem has changed or been resolved. It now reflects the current state of your connection and clears when there is nothing wron…
    • Fix – Plugin security hardening.

  6. Smash Balloon Social Photo Feed 6.12.0

    • New – The feed builder and your feeds are now far easier to use with a keyboard and a screen reader. Controls are properly labelled and reachable by Tab, popups can be closed with Escape, feeds announce newly loaded posts, and focus outlines are visible throughout.
    • Fix – Corrected a number of typos and grammatical errors in text throughout the settings and admin screens, including three places that referred to “tweets” instead of Instagram posts.
    • Fix – Plugin security hardening.

  7. Smash Balloon Social Photo Feed 6.11.4

    • New – Photos, Videos, and Reels filter toggles are now available in Instagram Feed Free.
