- Navigate to Basic Display page in the Instagram Basic Display section from the left sidebar. Scroll to App Review for Instagram Basic Display section at the bottom of the page and click Add to submission right in front of instagram_graph_user_profile. Provide the details required for submission.
Note: As Instagram does not allow login/authentication to be used with any of their scopes according to their developer docs, you can describe how Super Socializer uses Instagram icon in Social Account Linking section at the user profile page to link their Instagram account to their existing account at your WordPress website. Just keep social login icons disabled at the login, register pages of your website before Instagram approves your submission.
- On the same page, copy the Instagram App ID and Instagram App Secret (after clicking the Show button right in front of it) and paste in the Instagram App ID and Instagram App Secret options in the Super Socializer > Social Login section in admin area, respectively.
