The Feed Block Won't Appear in My Theme

If you can't add the feed block, or it's added but nothing shows on your live store, these checks will get it displaying correctly.

Find the Right Block

The feed is added through a block called InstaPulse Feed in the Shopify theme editor:

Go to Online Store → Themes → Customize.
Navigate to the section where you want the feed.
Click Add block (or Add section) and look for InstaPulse Feed.

If you don't see it, make sure Drip Socials is installed and try reloading the theme editor.

Enter a Valid Block Identifier

The block needs to know which feed to load:

Select the InstaPulse Feed block in the editor.
In the Block identifier field, enter the identifier of an existing feed from Drip Socials, copied from the Add to theme link in the app.
The literal words default and Instagram are also accepted and make the block load the first feed on your store.

An identifier that is neither a valid identifier nor one of those two keywords is rejected outright, and a valid identifier belonging to a different store returns nothing. A mistyped identifier is the most common reason a block loads nothing.

Save and Preview

Changes in the theme editor only take effect after you Save. Save your changes, then preview or visit your live storefront to confirm the feed appears.

Check Which Feed the Block Is Loading

If a block renders but shows the wrong design, check the identifier. Blocks left on default or Instagram all load the same feed — your store's first one — regardless of how many feeds you have created.

Confirm the Feed Has Content

Even a correctly placed block will look empty if the underlying feed has no posts. Confirm Instagram is connected with media permission and that your account has recent posts. See My Feed Is Empty.

Still Not Showing?

Make sure you saved the theme changes.
Try a different section to rule out a section-specific conflict.
Confirm the identifier exactly matches an existing feed, with no extra spaces.
Confirm the feed has posts to render. A correctly wired block with an empty post pool still looks blank.
