Add widget to theme

To use Instafeed Widgets, you need to first activate the app in the theme. Then you can place a widget wherever your theme allows for inserting app blocks. You can rearrange, hide, or remove app blocks in the same way as any other blocks in your theme. Learn how to manage app blocks in Shopify.
