Flickr Mini Gallery – IMPORTANT – Flickr API requires SSL since June/July 2014
-
Hi folks!
The Flick Mini Gallery plugin stopped working today – at least for us, and this is message about why it happened and how to fix it. Flickr’s API now requires SSL-only, read more about it here – https://code.flickr.net/2014/04/30/flickr-api-going-ssl-only-on-june-27th-2014/.
How to fix the plugin? All you need to do is following:
Go to /wp-content/plugins/flickr-mini-gallery/js/ and edit miniflickr.js. Find all occurrences of “http” and change it to “https“. That will do the SSL magic.
If it still isn’t enough to work, maybe check all the URLs – there’s always parameter api_key= after which follows the Flick API KEY. So if you need a new one, simply just get it here, it’s just a 2-3 minutes process – https://www.flickr.com/services/api/misc.api_keys.html.
That’s it. Hope it’ll be useful for some :).
