From the developer
SiD's own description of Simple Social Feed, lightly tidied.

[simple-social-feed username="phenomcraftstudios" limit="8" column="4" margin="1" ]
Userful Attrubutes if things go south.
- max_tries – Number of tries ( Defualt = 4 ) to fetch Instagram data until throwing. Useful to avoid arbitrary CORS issues.
- cache_time – Instagram response cache expiry time in minutes ( Defualt = 360 ). Increase this if you get banned too often.
[simple-social-feed username="phenomcraftstudios" limit="8" column="4" margin="1" max_tries="2" cache_time="720" ]
