My wife and I have identical IPads, both using the latest update. Mine rotates allowing easy use of the keypad, my wife’s doesn’t. How can i adjust hers to also work.

Unlock:

The location of your keyboard is within respect to the 90-degree rotation of your screen. So, unlock the rotation, and then all would start rotating. Find more on this here: Rotate the Screen on your iPad - Apple Support

"Have checked rotation lock. Other apps rotate no problems, only the Instagram app that doesn’t. We both have identical keypads as well."

Instagram is Portrait Mode Only.***

"It works on my IPad already, but not on my wife’s??? I am presuming that there is a way to make it happen. I am chasing what that way is."

What to Do:

Contact the Developer., asking them about this. They may have yet to do their part in full-compatibility. Also, certain you both have the same release of the software, and that the iPad and App are fully updated to the most recent update versions.
