Topic: Instagram action not working

I drag and drop and this is what i see.
Help guys??

Invalid Instagram Post URL
The URL was not valid. You must use this
action with a URL like https://
www.instagram.com/p/post

Re: Instagram action not working

Yep sorry there was a bug in this action that I have now resolved.

Please reinstall the action again from the below URL and then it should work as expected:

Re: Instagram action not working

OK yep I found another issue. Can you please update the action (you can do this by right clicking the Instagram Downloader action in the grid, clicking edit and then clicking the 'Check for Action Update' button) then trying this download again.

Make sure the Instagram Downloader action is on version 1.2 (this is also shown when editing the action).

Let me know how you get on.
