I have embedded my personal instagram link into a post and it won't work. It doesn't automatically embed. Does anyone know why? https://www.instagram.com/p/-WBnBBs-T_/?taken-by=aairmale

7,265 PointsIn order to embed a link onto a post/page you need to write it like this:
<a href="https://www.My-link.com/">My Link as Shown to User</a>
Where the "https://www.My-link.com/" is your actual link and "My Link as Shown to User" is what you'd like the blue link text to display.
In your case it will look like this:
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/-WBnBBs-T_/?taken-by=aairmale">My instagram account</a>
Be sure to write the text under the "text" section of your post as opposed to the "visual"
