Will AFG work when Flickr changes to HTTPS?

AFG is already updated to support this change from Flickr.

I don’t think this issue is fully resolved yet. Something has just stopped working anyhow with version 3.3.6 that I had installed and working perfectly for over a year. Now I get the message

Awesome Flickr Gallery – SSL is required

I had the tech support at my webhosting provider look at it and they have:
“enabled curl ca root cert in PHP. Please ask your developer to set “CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER” to true in coding and put “CURLOPT_CAINFO” path as per the output from above URL.”

Assuming this is the right thing to do, how do you go about doing this? Presumably, this affects everyone using AFG.

If you are running version 3.5.0 than you shouldn’t have this issue. Can you post a link to your gallery page?

Here’s the gallery page: https://kevinallen.photography/blog/
I was running AFG 3.3.6 and it ran for over a year until I got the error just a couple of days ago. I’ve now switched to AFG 3.3.5 and that works fine, although there’s no option to use Highslide. From my WordPress v3.5 installation only AFG 3.3.5 is available.

Where do I download AFG 3.5.0, and will it run on WordPress 3.5 ?

Did you download 3.3.5 manually? You shouldn’t have to do that. Are you not getting an update notification to 3.5.0 on your update page on WordPress dashboard?

Anyway, you can manually download and update AFG 3.5.0 from here – https://github.com/ronakg/awesome-flickr-gallery-plugin/archive/3.5.0.zip

No, I downloaded Version 3.3.5 from the WordPress dashboard to replace 3.3.6 which I downloaded maybe from your Flickr page?! a few months ago. 3.3.5 is the only version that appears on the WordPress dashboard at my end.

Thanks for the link to 3.5.0. I will give it go and report back.

I can confirm that Version 3.5.0 works on WordPress 3.5 and Highslide is there.

One slight issue is that although I’ve disabled photo descriptions in AFG, I find that it is still pulling the description from Flickr (see photo 11 on my above link). I’ve cleared the AFG cache and my WordPress cache and also my browser cache, but it’s still there.

Thanks, looks like you found a bug. I’ll fix it in next release of AFG.

Okay, thanks. In the meantime I’ll maybe shift the Descriptions to a comment on Flickr. Or something…
(I sent you a small donation – your prompt help was appreciated.)

BTW I found titles on Flickr are also pulled over despite disabling them in AFG.

Some other thoughts: maybe for the next update an option to disable “View on Flickr” might be useful. And might the text font at the bottom when viewing in Highslide be a little neater like with Colourbox?

Otherwise,it’s by far the best Flickr plugin I’ve found.
