How To Install The Slickr Flickr Plugin

Download the zip file from wordpress.org/extend/plugins/slickr-flickr/
Uncompress the downloaded zip archive in [WordPress install root]/wp-content/plugins
Activate the plugin in your WordPress plugins control panel
Go to the “Settings” section, and choose “Slickr Flickr”
Type In your Flickr Id (it should look something like 12345678@N00 and can be obtained from http://idgettr.com) and then click the Save button
To use the plugin in a post, page or text widget use the shortcode slickr-flickr tag="my tag phrase", and include this command within square brackets [your-slickr-command-in-here]¹
If you have no photos in Flickr with this tag then no pictures are displayed.

¹ – I did not show the slickr-flickr command itself in square brackets in the instructions above as it would be automatically translated by WordPress and it would show the gallery or slideshow and not the command.

What is the URL of the page where you are trying to run a slideshow?

Or you can sign up for the free video tutorials by completing the form on the Slickr Flickr settings page on your admin site.
Kimberly Walker April 19, 2013 at 12:35 am: Hello – I am new to slickr flickr. I read and followed the instructions for installation. However, I cannot see my photos. I signed into Flickr and tagged a couple of photos, but I still do not see any photos in photos. Do you have a step by step procedure with screen prints that could help me solve the problem. Thanks!
