Tips to prevent Instagram feed issues
To prevent having an empty Instagram feed on this section of your storefront, you should delete the Instagram feed section on any pages it appears within your theme by following these steps:
1. In your Admin, navigate to Online Store > Customize.
2. Locate the Instagram section within the Theme Editor.
3. Remove the Instagram section where it appears on all pages.
