Steve Sundberg January 12, 2012 at 7:27 am: After installing and activating Slickr Flickr as a plug-in, I get the following error with I attempt to adjust the Settings:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_current_screen() in C:\XAMPP\htdocs\noodleman\wp-content\plugins\slickr-flickr\slickr-flickr-admin.php on line 68

What am I not doing properly? What can I do? I am a PHP novice.

steve August 9, 2011 at 8:09 pm: Hi

How do you add it to the sidebar after the installation?
Russell July 29, 2011 at 2:33 pm: Mike, your slideshow is working here – http://www.slickrflickr.com/support/photos-not-available-but-present-in-rss-feed/

Make sure your ID is of type ‘User’ in Slickr Flickr Admin settings and also clear your RSS cache (also on Slickr Flickr Admin settings)
Mike July 29, 2011 at 2:20 pm: ignore my last link. this is the correct one:
http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?lang=en-us&format=feed-rss_200&&id=60054576@N02&tags=summer&per_page=15
not working
Mike July 29, 2011 at 2:17 pm: Hello. I am getting this error

Error fetching Flickr photos: A feed could not be found at http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?lang=en-us&format=feed-rss_200&&g=60054576@N02&tags=summer&per_page=15

when i use [slickr-flickr tag="summer" type="slideshow" start="random" height="275"]

If you go directly to
http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?lang=en-us&format=feed-rss_200&&g=60054576@N02&tags=summer&per_page=15
there is a feed though.

Any help?
Russell July 15, 2011 at 9:19 am: Hi Phillippe,

Please supply the URL of a page showing your gallery – what setting to you have for “load Scripts in footer’ in Slickr Flickr Admin settings – leaving this unchecked reduces scope for conflict with the theme and other plugins that may be using jQuery

Regards

Russell
Philippe July 14, 2011 at 9:42 pm: Hi everyine,

I used SlickrFlickr, and it worked very well, after the download of the last the gallery is not working now, do you know why?

Russell June 7, 2011 at 10:38 pm: Hi Horacio,

The RSS feed seems to be missing your Flickr ID and any tag, set or gallery .

Have you entered your Flickr ID in Slickr Flickr Admin Settings?

Please pay attention to the quotes around the parameters in the slickr-flickr command – you may have a missing quote or either opening and closing quotes instead of either singe or double quotes.
Horacio June 7, 2011 at 10:25 pm: I get this error:

Error fetching Flickr photos: A feed could not be found at http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/?lang=en-us&format=feed-rss_200&

Here is the test link

I’ve been through all the comments and the help section and can’t get it to work.

I have PHP5, the latest WP. Can you please help me??

thanks.

Russell April 28, 2011 at 11:22 am: The link is correct – it seems phpbuilder.com was down temporarily – it is back now.

Create a test page on your site the uses the phpinfo function to display the PHP version.
Jose Ignacio Navarro Ruiz April 28, 2011 at 9:33 am: Hi Russell
The link does not work I’ve been through, what I have to do now? The error has left me today, yesterday everything was fine and I have not touched any code or anything. Plugin I have it installed for several weeks … Why do I get the error now if I have not touched anything?
Russell April 28, 2011 at 9:24 am: Hi Jose,

I am pretty sure you are running PHP 4. This error is definitely down to running PHP 4. See http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?t=10366062

You may have PHP 5 installed but WordPress is still running PHP 4.

Russell April 28, 2011 at 9:16 am: Exactly what error message are you receiving?
Jose Ignacio Navarro Ruiz April 28, 2011 at 9:00 am: If my web server is already upgraded to php5 and error, what I have to do now?
Jose Ignacio Navarro Ruiz April 28, 2011 at 8:59 am: If my web server is already upgraded to php5 and the error I keep going, “What?
Russell April 25, 2011 at 7:25 am: Patric, The solution was to upgrade from PHP 4 to PHP 5
Patric April 24, 2011 at 5:39 pm: Fabrice, Did you find a solution?
Russell March 29, 2011 at 11:13 am: Yes, you can use search=”groups” to search group pool photos.

Rune March 26, 2011 at 10:02 pm: I have the same problem as Fabrice.
Russell March 25, 2011 at 1:28 am: HI Fabrice,

What version of PHP are you using? Slickr Flickr needs at least version 5.0. I think you may be running PHP 4.
