You need to add "s" to http https:// It needs a secure url so adding the "s" to http should solve your issue. Flickr went secure months ago, so the url changed. You might need to regenerate your api but I personally didn't have to.

this is a url to the gallery ive created and im putting it into the string option in the flikr plugin, ive checked that it works with the url plugin, but it leads to a flckr page with my photo,s in, where as i just want the photos to show. without the flickr branded page. https://www.flickr.com/photos/127692089@N08/galleries/72157647141069488/ cheer for your help guys

Hi, I don't have this plugin but every Buzztouch plugin needs json to read and your url isn't json. Within my thumbviewer plugin you can also use the Flickr api. A url you should use could look like this: https://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photosets.getPhotos&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&photoset_id=YOUR_PHOTOSET_ID&format=json You should replace: photosets - if you use galeries you should probably use galleries (Read the manual from Flickr) YOUR_API_KEY - with the your Flickr api key YOUR_PHOTOSET_ID - since I use a photoset you have to use your number. have a look at the documentation to see what needs to be done in case of a gallery (probably gallery_id or something). This should give you a start to figure this out. Best Regards, Danny

Im still confused as the only option you get in the plugin, is a string option, and it asks for an id no, which ive got, and tried, what danny wrote above mentions photo set, but flickr only offer galleries and photostream, i will keep trying and if successful i will post an idiots guide for fellow struggling idiots lol :)

Yes the albums are photo sets now I believe.
