   Hi,

   I installed your plugin into the footer of my website (www.laurengondert.com), and all of my photos are showing up, but there is a lot of extra white space around them and they are not centered. I want it to look like it does on this site: http://themes.iki-bir.com/peano/

   When I try the different view options (view as square thumbnails, view as proportional thumbnails, view as large thumbnails) they all look exactly the same.

   How do I fix this?

   Thanks,

   Lauren

   Hi great plug-in the only problem is when I tick the ‘random’ box it doesn’t make them random. After clicking save the tick box next to random is removed automatically?

   Can’t seem to get the tag field to only display photos with 2 tags… e.g. Food, USA – seems like it is displaying photos with either tag. Is there a way to have it only show Food and USA.

     Hi Christopher – I’m afraid Flickr doesn’t currently support this kind of query, to my knowledge (and I haven’t currently written a workaround to make it happen via the plugin)

   Hey there, I am putting together this website for a guy who will be running across the US in an attempt to break the world record.. Anyways.. They are using Flickr to upload images from the road and I have found that your plugin is the best option for making a wordpress gallery out of the flickr feed.

   I have ONE problem.. If they upload a video to their stream it displays like a photo. I am using prettyphoto and that supports videos in a lightbox (I had to change your code accordingly to make rel=wp-prettyPhoto”) but it just opens a box with the still from the video..

   Any thoughts on supporting Flickr videos OR simply not adding them to the query?

     Hi Lindsay – I only had a quick peek at it, as I’m flat out with some other stuff, but it looks like you can specify a “media” parameter for the photos_search query – it depends on how you’ve set up the plugin, but if you’re using the photosteam, then you should be able to open includes/interface.php, line 266, and change:

     $results = $flickr->photos_search(array('user_id' => $accountId, 'tags' => $options['tags'], 'per_page' => 500, 'page' => $page++));

     $results = $flickr->photos_search(array('user_id' => $accountId, 'tags' => $options['tags'], 'per_page' => 500, 'page' => $page++));

     to

     $results = $flickr->photos_search(array('user_id' => $accountId, 'tags' => $options['tags'], 'per_page' => 500, 'page' => $page++, 'media' => 'photos'));

     $results = $flickr->photos_search(array('user_id' => $accountId, 'tags' => $options['tags'], 'per_page' => 500, 'page' => $page++, 'media' => 'photos'));

     You could probably set it up to display video properly too, but it would take some programming experience to do, and I don’t have the resources to do it myself, I’m afraid.

     Best of luck!

   Ohh I got one more suggestion.. If you can make the option to display the flickr caption that would be great as well! but thats for another time.

   Michael – thank you soo much for your quick reply. If i have time in the coming weeks I’ll see if I can work out how to get the videos working as well – but the solution to show only images works perfectly for me.

   I dont currently know a lot about the flickr API but I am learning! THanks

       Yours was the first and only one I tried that just “worked”

   This plugin is great and does almost everything I need it to do except for one thing… How do I change the layout from 2 to 3 columns in my footer section? I’m currently running two widgets in that section of the footer for example purposes. “Gallery” has the right layout 3X3 but “Flickrpress” just won’t do it. Help.

     Hi Eric,

     You’ll need to get in and style it, if it’s not taking the dimensions you’re after – either increase the width, or decrease the margins/padding.

   I think I must be thick but…. I have downloaded the plugin, I have got my WPI key and secret amd put it in the right fields and saved it. Great, all going well so far. Do I need to enter any of the other fields If so, I have not a clue what to put in them.

   My main problem is ….. how on earth do I get the thing to appear in the side bar or footer or wherever. I go to widgets and it’s not there (probably because it’s a plugin not a widget).

   Maybe there’s another thick person out there who also cannot do this final thing… or maybe I’m the only one!

   Anyone there? I still have this problem. I’m stuck in the back of beyond in China and need some assistance. Thanks

     Hi Sian,

     The widget should definitely be showing up in your “Widgets” section – if it’s not, I’m afraid I don’t have a clue why. Is the plugin definitely enabled? What WP version are you using?

    Hi, I love the plug-in but am wondering how to make the photo link open up in a new window. As of now the photos show up great but when people click the photos, the flick link opens up on the website. This make things difficult for visitors to find their way back to the web site.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Could you please check out the weird output this plugin, which I’ve used successfully on a lot of other sites (it’s great!), is putting out? http://hdcustoms.com/gallery/

    This new site’s only new variable is the starkers/roots base wordpress code…which is probably throwing in some extra weird css…but I can’t figure out whats going on….

    Thanks in advance! I hope you have seen this before and have some sort of a solution…

    Thanks for making this plugin available.

    I set everthing up on the settings / FlickrPress page in Word Press and I changed the callback URL in AppGarden to (mydomain)/wp-content/plugins/wp-flickr-press/flickr_oauth_callback.php

    When I use the Flickr icon in WordPress to add a picture, I get a new window with “USER ID is required. Please setting USER ID”

    In the OAuth Token section of FlickPress plugin config page, there are field labels for USERID, USERNAME and TOKEN but no way to enter information into the non-existent fields next to theem.

    Thanks for your heelp

      Hi Matthew,

      Hmm. It looks like another plugin developer has nicked Flickrpress’s name. I don’t recognise that path. It’s not Flickpress you’re using, I’m afraid =)

    Lightbox is discontinued. Can you add FancyBox support?

    I am getting “Flickr is currently unavailable” for one API/account but for another it works.

    I get no errors in the log, and when I echo errors I get ‘1’.

    The API code and Account ID are correct (I even deleted the App and made another). The only difference between accounts is the one that doesn’t work is a PRO account.

    Do you have any ideas why I get this message?

      @Brett, got exacly the same problem, got the “Flickr is currently unavailable” message for my PRO account, also only when I try to access sets, the normal RSS works perfect, when I log the errors (changing line 84 in interface.php) I get this:

      wp-content/plugins/flickrpress/includes/interface.php:84 (flickrpress_load_items()): Couldn’t get account: User not found

      but I’m pretty sure I’m entering all the details correctly, is this a pro setting or something?

        I found this website solved my problem: http://idgettr.com/

        Seems like you need to use your account ID, not the alias. After getting the ID it all worked fine for me.

          I’ve replaced the alias for account ID, but I’m getting the same error. Any more ideas? Thanks.

    please Michael, is there a way to make clicking the flickr thumbnail open the image in a new window? thanks!

    When I do the process to get the error from interface.php The error reads:

    content/plugins/flickrpress/includes/interface.php:190 (flickrpress_load_items_rss()): RSS load of feed://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/[email protected]&lang=en-us&format=rss_200 failed

    What do I change to fix this? Is it doing this because I have a pro Flickr Account?

    I stopped working at all. Even RSS. I think Flickr changed it’s API.

    hi Michael,

    I like your plugin although I realize it has been published for some time. I have it working on my blog but was wondering if the picture that is displayed can be made larger? Also I don’t want to include a title but as you can see, when I don’t do this it is vertically uneven with the box on the left (I tried empty spaces but this didn’t work). I am not very well versed in PHP…

    Thanks…Marten

      that title comment you can’t help of course…….combining plugins becomes confusing :)

    In the last two utilizations of this plugin for my own site and a clients…there is a weird IE issue ( I know…go figure). Works great in real browsers.

    In IE the thumbnails show up as skinny white bars…a bar for each thumbnail…but no pic, just a series of skinny vertical rectangles.

    I’m using responsive css media queries on both sites…could be the issue.

    But any guidance would help tremendously guys. :)

    Sites where its happening for reference:

    Thanks in advance guys,
