Perhaps it’s an issue with WordPress then – I’m not in the mood to re-install updates to test then roll back – I’ll wait a few months & then perhaps try again after some more updates.

I did have 3.2.8 installed – I let it auto update which is when my calendars stopped displaying.

I found a back up of my site from earlier this year with 3.2.6 installed so rolled back to that and my calendars are now working again.

Something more has changed than the cross site vulnerability being fixed in the latest two updates?

WP: 6.4.2 PHP 7.4.33 Plugin: 3.2.6

I’m having the same issue – having worked beautifully for 8 years it’s now stopped – I only ever used the free version too.

I’ve sent an eMail to support (all we seem to get told here is “that relates to the ‘Pro’ version”) and I’m waiting for a response – Christmas etc.

I don’t have the commercial plugin… I use the Simple Calendar free version ??

My calendar stopped syncing today too – it’s been working fine for 8 years.

I don’t have any other calendar plugins installed – yours has always been the best.
I’ve refreshed the cache in the Calendars menu several times but they don’t seem to be pulling data from Google.

I’ve checked the API Dashboard at Google and there seems to be problems logging in to the Oauth manager section – could this be the issue i.e. Google Oauth logins are down?

OK cool – thanks again and I do love the plugin, it’s a stunning piece of work – far easier to get running on a WordPress site than the other two “popular” one’s I used – congratulations on that.

You can try setting up SSL on your site and make it https (that is something that is managed by your host

Yeah – not doing that – my provider doesn’t let me use an SSL key unless I buy it from them & they don’t want peanuts.

It might be neat if the authentication module of the plugin could detect whether SSL is in use or not & generate the appropriate callback URL? ??

Thank you again ??

Managed to pull the oauthtoken from the wonky URL above along with the token & plugged them in to the settings page & it seems to be working now.

Thanks for your help ??

I have 12 albums but I don’t want to display all of them – only the first 7.

I was just trying authentication but I get a page 404 Error when I click the permission button on Flickr

The URL being shown in the address bar is…

`https://www.cheese-dispensers.net/blog/wp-admin/admin.php?page=photonic-auth&provider=flickr&oauth_token=72157717970899378-1e5157281bae90f9&oauth_verifier=c7e4cfe8ef7641e7′

and I don’t get an Auth key or the secret.

…even more bizarrely…

Browsing my own photostream without logging in to FlickR shows images from the “hidden” albums so it’s not even FlickR security that’s being a pain! Owh joy ??

OK – found where the issue is but not sure how it’s easily fixable…

If Safesearch is turned on for a FlickR user then the Albums page for another user is filtered & some albums won’t display for that user. It’s essentially the same view as someone not registered to FlickR trying to view the album.

Giving a direct link to an image in an album will display that image – whether logged in as a FlickR user or not. For some reason the API seems to being treated as non-registered user so it isn’t given a full list of albums.

It’s weird behaviour because the images in the albums are set as “Safe” & “Public” unless it’s a subtle throttling ploy by Flickr.

Hmmm – thanks for that – so FlickR is segregating the feed somehow even though they’re allegedly “Public” – that gives me more of a clue where to look.

I’ve tried using “organizr” to set all the pictures in my feed “public” as apparently that can cause issues similar to this – there must be something else acting on the feed then. Thanks for taking a look

Yeah – me too – but they’re not the albums I want to see ??

If you look at my FlickR feed – there’s 7 albums at the top of the album list I want displayed (the last 5 currently on the page I don’t want to display there).

my albums list on FlickR

Hiya – yeah – I did wonder about that but even with the filter cleared I’m only seeing 4 albums. Like I say – weirdness ??

I’m not sure that it’s appreciated that not all of us are happy when the response is “use CSS” to make things look like they were – certainly the widget (clumsy though it may have been) was configurable to how we wanted

(https://www.cheese-dispensers.net and look on the right) for our site.

I’m using WordPress as a platform specifically so I didn’t have to use CSS to get simple but stylish site running.
