  • I changed every instance of “https://flickr.com” that occured with the
    flickr-gallery.php script into “https://flickr.com” hoping ill continue working.

    It still seems to be running. I hope that I dont miss the announce blackout phase, so I can test if it continues working.

    I have tried to contact the developer, but not had a reply as yet.

    Has anyone managed to get their flickr gallery working since the changes?

    my (only systematic) modifications finally did NOT work.

    Will try to analyze this further. I do use this plugin in 3 different blogs

    If anybody else has an idea, I d be glad to test.

    I updated all instances of https://api.flickr.com to https://api.flickr.com within the file: phpFlickr.php.

    It appears to be working for me without further modification.

    I’ve changed all instances of http to https i the phpFlickr.php file too, but still not working ??

    Ehm, this is my post. I’m replying to the previous “solution” which also doesn’t work for me.

    Probably referring to me – just thought as it was the same problem, better than making lots of similar posts. But I will start a new one now.

    These forums have guidelines. Please read them. As you will see, one of these guidelines – entitled Where to Post – specifically states:

    Unless you are using the same version of WordPress on the same physical server hosted by the same hosts with the same plugins, theme & configurations as the original poster, do not post in someone else’s thread. Start your own topic.

    Please abide by this.

    Thank you for the clarification esmi, and I apologise for posting here. However, I cannot see where the original poster has stated the versions and thought it useful to all to post in the same place about the same issue. However, I have now posted my own thread and will not post here about the issue I am having.

    Finally (mostly) got this working by doing the following:

    Edit lines 26, 27, and 28 of phpFlickr.php to be https:// instead of https://.

    Also edit line 205 to be https://

    Get new API key and secret by going to the flickr site and doing that whole ridiculous song and freaking dance (I hate Yahoo so much right now, words would not encompass my absolute fury).

    Deactivate the plugin and reactivate.

    Photos now show, although I can’t generate an auth token because Flickr gives a callback error. Whatever. Good e-freaking-nough.

    Thanks for your efforts, but non of this is working for me. I have changed to “Simple Flickr Set”.

    I got this to work tonight.

    I edited the phpFlickr.php script.

    I amended all the calls to flickr, either beginning https://api.flickr.com/….. or https://www.flickr.com/services/auth/…..

    to begin https://

    I did nothing else. No new API key (I don’t use this app to display non public content) and I didn’t have to deactivate and re-activate.

    It just worked.

    this would involve lines
    26, 27, 28 for direct references to https://api.flickr.com/..
    and
    205 for a programmatically created request
    and
    361 , 363 for https://farm...
    as well as
    604 for https://www.flickr.

    all others are comments

    I did this with and without 361 , 363
    I even did it for the comments

    did NEVER work

    any way of uploading your version somewhere, to compare ?

    I also replaced all https:// calls with https:// in phpFlickr.php and flickr-gallery.php (not sure the latter is necessary)
