Why are my likes and comments count 0 in my Instagram widget?
If your Instagram widget is displaying likes and comments count as 0, even though the posts themselves have likes and comments, it likely means that the like and comment counts are currently hidden on those Instagram posts.
To properly display likes and comments count on your Instagram widget, please follow these steps:
Navigate to the published posts you want to show Instagram likes or comments.
Click on the three dots in the top right corner above your post.
Click Unhide like count to others to publicly display the likes count.
Click Turn on commenting for the Instagram widget to determine the comments count.
Once likes and comments are visible, your Instagram widget will update automatically within 24 hours. For example, if your last sync time was 6 hours ago, the widget will refresh in 18 more hours. (This applies to Premium plans). If you're on a Free plan, you’ll need to manually request a sync. Please follow this tutorial for instructions.
