This measure will give you a similar fook and feel of the Instagram boxed layout. Do all these arrangements form Section Settings.

Then, add your content to the design:

  • Place an image widget to the left-most column to display your logo. You can set an active link to your homepage using the Link Setting option.
  • Add another image widget to the mid column to show your trademark logo (or text, if you don't have one)
  • Finally, add a button widget to the right-most column and set the Call to Action and the page to which you want to link. Then, design the button as you need.

Step 3: Create a Feature post section by duplicating the Header section

Then, copy the Heading widget and make the text similar to the URL for your site. Next, add a dynamic link that carries the site URL.

Once again, go to the mobile view and make some modifications. For example, you might need to adjust the column width and update the padding for smartphones.

Posts widget settings:

  • Set Columns value to 1
  • Set Posts Per Page value to 1
  • Set the Image Ratio value to 0.3

Remove the MetaData and hide the Title.

Then, use the Query setting option to manage which post to display:

  • Set Include By value to Term
  • Set the Term value to Linkinbio

You'll need to build a new WordPress blog post section called "Linkinbio". If you add any post to this category, it will routinely be featured on your Instagram landing page.

Then, decorate the excerpt text from the Style tab.

Finally, add a fresh Divider widget to generate a bottom border. Match the same light grey color from your first section's border.

5. Create Instagram Grid

For now, the requirement is to create the Instagram grid that will appear below your featured post.

To get started, copy your existing Posts widget. Then, paste it beneath the bottom grey margin from the former section.

Now, you just need to make some modifications to your copied Posts widget:

  • Change Columns to 3
  • Set the Posts Per Page to a multiple of 3 So that you always have a square grid.
  • Set the Image Ratio value to 1
  • Hide the Excerpt

You can also utilize the Style tab to change the spacing between the images.

Then, go to the mobile view section to adjust your mobile design.

You might want to:

  • Hide the large featured post image and divider
  • Set the posts grid equal to 3 on mobile

And that’s all! You just built a custom Instagram landing page.

Now, Whenever you publish a new blog post with the “Linkinbio” category, it will automatically show up on this page.
