"Instagram prevents links in photo captions or comments from being clickable. Other than paid ads, the only clickable link within Instagram is on your profile page. A common tactic is to add “link in profile” to a photo caption, sending followers to your bio where they can click on the website link."

@himanshu-dhiman This is about an image he's uploading to his own website, not to instagram.

It's linking to insta, that's all.

@surendramannam1 Please put your HTML / PHP etc. code like this so people can read it:

```

CODE GOES HERE

```

It looks like (but could be because it wasnt posted as code) that the link you pasted is not correct.

Placing a link in HTML is pretty basic:

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/?url=https://www.drdrop.co/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">
    Share on instagram
</a>

Should work (if drdrop.co is your domain).

I just want some clearance on the part :

You have a website, in which there is an Instagram sharable icon. When you click on the Instagram icon, it should share your website's link on Instagram. Right? Let me know if I am wrong somewhere.

If you really want to share your website's link on Instagram, then I think it is not possible. The reason and the way to share the link, I mentioned in my previous answer above.

You can share only images on Instagram. If I am wrong then, please let me know. would love to hear your views.

@lostdreamer_nl I was not clear about the issue, I just posted according to what I understood. Thanks for clearing, but there is still confusion on the actual issue.

Thanks.
