You're not limited to a single Instagram feed. Drip Socials lets you create several feed configurations and place them in different parts of your store — a large gallery on your homepage, a compact strip in the footer, and more.
How Multiple Feeds Work
Every feed you create in Drip Socials has its own unique block identifier. When you add the InstaPulse Feed block to your theme, you paste in the identifier of the feed you want to load in that location. This is how the app knows which layout and settings to display where.
multiple feeds means multiple looks, not multiple sets of posts. Your Instagram posts are stored once for the whole store, so every feed block on your storefront shows the same posts, newest first. There is no way to show different posts in two blocks, and no way to connect a second Instagram account.
Set Up More Than One Feed
- In Drip Socials, create a new feed block for each placement you want.
- Give each one its own layout, grid size, and styling to suit where it will appear.
- Note the block identifier for each feed.
Place Each Feed in Your Theme
- Open the Shopify theme editor.
- Add an InstaPulse Feed block in the first location.
- Enter the identifier for the feed you want there.
- Repeat for each additional location, using the matching identifier each time.
The default and Instagram Keywords
The block-identifier field does not have to contain a real identifier. Two literal keywords are recognised:
defaultInstagram
If the field contains either of those exact words, Drip Socials serves the first feed block on your store instead of looking up an identifier. This explains two common surprises: a feed appearing even though you never pasted an identifier, and the wrong feed appearing in a placement where you thought you had set a specific one.
If you are running more than one feed, paste the real identifier into every block so each placement loads the design you intended.
Example Setup
- Homepage — a 5 × 2 Squares grid with your profile header shown.
- Product pages — a slim 6 × 1 Tiles strip with no header.
- Footer — a compact 3 × 2 Squares grid.
Each shows the same posts, newest first, with its own layout and styling. Remember rows can only be 1 or 2.
