Nexter Blocks supports two API key paths: POSIMYTH API without a Facebook Dev account, or keys from your own Dev account. That matters because the feed can pull live content only when the token setup is valid. The tutorial also covers content from a profile, hashtag, or username, so the source you choose has to match what you want to display. **Q: Can I show a live Instagram feed from a personal account and a business account?** A: Nexter Blocks is set up to show live Instagram feeds for both personal and business accounts using API tokens. That makes it useful when the account type changes, since the feed method stays the same even if the source profile differs. The tutorial says the content can come from any Instagram profile, hashtag, or username, so the real decision is which source best fits the page layout and content goal. **Q: What are the ways to generate Instagram API keys for WordPress?** A: Nexter Blocks gives you two paths: use POSIMYTH API without a Facebook Dev account, or use your own Dev account keys. That split matters because it lets you choose between a simpler setup and your own developer credentials. The video points to [Generate API Tokens](https://api.posimyth.com/), which is the relevant place in this workflow when token creation is the blocker. **Q: What layouts can an Instagram feed use in WordPress?** A: The Instagram feed can be displayed as grids, carousels, masonry, and more. That flexibility matters because different layouts solve different problems: grids are cleaner for scanning, while masonry usually fits mixed-size visual content better. Nexter Blocks provides these display options inside its Instagram Feed block, and the live demo is here: [WordPress Instagram Feed](https://nexterwp.com/nexter-blocks/blocks/wordpress-instagram-feed/). **Q: Is there a way to add other social feeds besides Instagram?** A: Nexter Blocks includes a separate Social Feed option for Instagram Feed, Twitter Feed, Facebook Posts Feed, and Vimeo Video Feed. That helps when one page needs more than just Instagram content but still wants a single feed-style section. The related demo page is [WordPress Social Feed](https://nexterwp.com/nexter-blocks/blocks/wordpress-social-feed/), which is the right reference if you need multiple network types in one place. **Q: Should I use an Instagram feed or an embedded post?** A: Use an Instagram feed when you want live content pulled from a profile, hashtag, or username. Use the Instagram Embed block when you only need a single Instagram post instead of an ongoing feed. That distinction matters because embeds are better for spotlighting one post, while feeds are better for showing fresh updates over time. For combined sources with filters, Nexter Blocks also offers Multi Social Feed: [WordPress Multi Social Feed](https://nexterwp.com/nexter-blocks/blocks/wordpress-multi-social-feed/).
