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.

@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 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?

Lightbox is discontinued. Can you add FancyBox support?

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 =)

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,

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…

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 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?

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

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!

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.

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.

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