How to remove the Wix Insta Link button
The Wix Insta Link button appears on your site when you use Wix's built-in Instagram integration. To remove it, go to your Wix Editor, click the button itself on your page, and select the delete or trash icon in the toolbar above it. The button disappears when ready from your live site.
If you cannot see the button to click it directly, it may be hidden behind other elements or placed off-screen. Use your browser's Inspector tool (right-click the page, select "Inspect") to find the button's code, then return to the Wix Editor and locate it in your page layers panel on the left side.
Some Wix templates include Insta Link buttons as default elements. If the button reappears after deletion, check your template settings under Site Settings > Social to disable the automatic Instagram integration entirely.
Key Takeaways
- Click the Insta Link button directly in the Wix Editor and press delete to remove it from your page.
- If the button is hard to locate, use your browser's Inspector tool to identify it in the page code, then find it in the Wix layers panel.
- Wix templates sometimes add Insta Link buttons automatically, so disable Instagram integration in Site Settings if the button keeps returning.
- Removing the button from the Editor removes it from your live website when ready without affecting other page elements.
Finding the button if it is hidden or off-screen
Wix Insta Link buttons sometimes sit outside the visible page area or stack behind other elements. The fastest way to locate it is through your browser's Inspector. Right-click anywhere on your page, select "Inspect" or "Inspect Element," and search for the text "insta" or "instagram" in the code panel that opens.
Once you find the button in the code, note its position or name. Switch back to the Wix Editor and open the Layers panel on the left side of the screen. Search or scroll through the layers list for an element with a similar name. Click it to select it on your canvas, then delete it.
If the button still does not appear on your canvas after selecting it in the layers panel, it may be grouped with other elements. Look for a folder or group icon in the layers list, click to expand it, and delete the Insta Link button from inside.
Disabling automatic Instagram integration in Wix templates
Some Wix templates automatically add an Insta Link button when you first create your site. If you delete the button but it reappears after you refresh the page or edit other sections, the template's default settings are re-adding it.
To stop this, go to Site Settings in the Wix Editor menu. Look for Social or Social Media settings. Find the Instagram or Insta Link option and toggle it off or set it to "Disabled." Save your changes. The button should no longer regenerate.
If you want to keep Instagram integration but just remove the button from one specific page, delete the button from that page only and leave the integration enabled in Site Settings. The button will stay gone from that page but may still appear on other pages where you have not deleted it.
Removing Insta Link from specific pages versus your whole site
Wix lets you control whether the Insta Link button appears on individual pages or across your entire site. If you delete the button from one page in the Editor, it only disappears from that page. Other pages keep their buttons unless you delete those separately.
To remove it from all pages at once, disable Instagram integration in Site Settings as described above. This removes the button from every page and prevents it from being added to new pages you create.
If you want the button on some pages but not others, delete it individually from the pages where you do not want it. This approach takes longer but gives you more control over where the button appears.
What happens when you delete the Insta Link button
Deleting the Insta Link button removes only that button from your page. It does not disconnect your Instagram account from Wix, disable Instagram feeds elsewhere on your site, or affect any other Instagram features you may be using.
If you have an Instagram feed widget or other Instagram elements on your page, those remain active and connected. Only the Insta Link button itself is removed. You can always add it back later by inserting a new button and configuring it to link to Instagram.
Adding the button back if you change your mind
If you delete the Insta Link button and later want to restore it, go to the Wix Editor, click "Add" or the plus icon, and search for "Button" or "Social." Select a button element and drag it onto your page. Then click the button, go to its settings, and choose "Link to Instagram" or "Social Media" from the link options.
You can also re-enable automatic Instagram integration in Site Settings, which will add the button back to pages that had it before. This is faster if you want the button on multiple pages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will removing the Insta Link button disconnect my Instagram account from Wix?
No. Deleting the button only removes that single element from your page. Your Instagram account stays connected to Wix, and any Instagram feeds or other Instagram features on your site continue to work normally.
Why does the Insta Link button keep coming back after I delete it?
Your Wix template may have automatic Instagram integration enabled in Site Settings. Go to Site Settings, find Social or Social Media, and toggle off Instagram integration. This prevents the button from being re-added automatically.
Can I remove the button from one page but keep it on others?
Yes. Delete the button individually from each page where you do not want it. Pages you do not edit will keep their buttons. If you want to remove it from all pages at once, disable Instagram integration in Site Settings instead.
How do I find the Insta Link button if I cannot see it on my page?
Right-click your page and select "Inspect" to open your browser's developer tools. Search the code for "insta" or "instagram." Once you find it, switch to the Wix Editor and look for the matching element in the Layers panel on the left, then delete it.
Can I customize the Insta Link button instead of deleting it?
Yes. Click the button in the Wix Editor and look for a settings or gear icon in the toolbar. You can change its text, color, size, and link destination. If you only want to change where it links, you do not need to delete it.
