How to Use The Plugin

The Flickr show is inserted into a post or a widget using the slickr-flickr short code.

For example, to show my pictures from Flickr that have been tagged with “bahamas” I use : [slickr-flickr tag=”bahamas”]

How to Set Up The Plugin Defaults

If you don’t want to specify all the settings for every Flickr slideshow or gallery you can set up some defaults. The default value is used when you have not specified a value on the individual slideshow, gallery or galleria. All the following settings are optional; we only strongly recommend you set the Flickr ID to save having to set it on every use of the plugin.

  • Go to the “Settings” section, and choose “Slickr Flickr”
  • Enter your Flickr Id (the ID is of the form 12345678@N00) and choose whether it is a user or group id
  • Enter your Flickr API Key
