Did the page layout change again? Similar to https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy/issues/2757#issuecomment-415963537

In unfollow_util.py

Temporary replace

dialog = browser.find_element_by_xpath(
        "//div[text()='Followers' or text()='Following']/../../following-sibling::div")

with

dialog = browser.find_element_by_xpath(
        "//div[contains(@class,'isgrP')]")

IT WORKS!
Use this temporarily while wait for the official push by the admin here.

[cormo1990]

@uluQulu Can you check please? I have the same issue but the temporary solution suggested doesn't work for me
thanks

[sionking]

i better use:

    # find dialog box
    try:
        dialog_address = "//div[text()='Followers' or text()='Following']/../../following-sibling::div"
        dialog = browser.find_element_by_xpath(dialog_address)
    except NoSuchElementException:
        dialog_address = "//div[contains(@class,'isgrP')]"
        dialog = browser.find_element_by_xpath(dialog_address)

[sergiosre]

[thejeromelouis]

[silensinator]

Guys, stop whining and start providing error codes / messages. Else we don't know what problem u r facing.

[thejeromelouis]

Thank you @silensinator . Finally it works. The problem was that I had to replace both

dialog = browser.find_element_by_xpath(
        "//div[text()='Followers' or text()='Following']/../../following-sibling::div")

for it to work. In the first attempt I had only exchanged a part.

[silensinator]

Ya, there are two areas. Anyway the official fix should be coming soon where they uses "//div[3]/div/div/div[2]" someone already created a PR

[carsonmclarson]

Finally got it working, thanks! I didn't realize there's two parts in the unfollow_util file where I needed to make this change. Initially I only made the change under the first find dialog box comment. Changed code under the second find dialog box comment and now it is working.

[ibroudy]

can someone uoload a corrected file? still cannot get it to run properly

[bgunsberger]

Making those two changes gets it working for me.

[ronmara]

In unfollow_util.py

Temporary replace

        "//div[contains(@class,'isgrP')]")

IT WORKS!

worked for me

[fabian-pandas]

thank you guys so much!

dialog = browser.find_element_by_xpath(
        "//div[contains(@class,'isgrP')]")

worked for me as well!

[soullessita]

Guys, got same problem but... I can't figure out how to fix it...
I'll leave you some screenshot about the problem and the code:

I know it's something about the div class but... I can't figure out what is the correct one. So maybe this screen might help?
