Slickr Flickr is limited to displaying only the 50 most recent photos from a photoset – This restriction is removed if you purchase Slickr Flickr Pro
Displaying Up to 20 Photos in A Set Using Flickr RSS
If you want to display 20 photos or less from a set then you can use the simpler format. You can get the set number from the end of the URL of the set on Flickr
[code]slickr-flickr type="gallery" search="sets" set="72157624473011937" items="14"[/code]
Experiment to Display More Than 20 Photos in A Set Using the Flickr API
Firstly I saved my Flickr API key in Slickr Flickr Admin Settings, then tried to display all 21 photos in the photoset. In the example below I decide to use larger thumbnails – 60% of small (240) = 144px wide.
[code]slickr-flickr type="gallery" thumbnail_size="small" thumbnail_scale="60" search="sets" set="72157624473011937" items="21"[/code]
Note that all 21 photos in the photoset are displayed.
If you specify a number of items that is larger then 20 and your have saved your Flickr API key in Slickr Flickr Admin settings then Slickr Flickr will use to the Flickr API to fetch photos rather than the Flickr RSS and this means that you can fetch up to 50 photos at a time.
Slickr Flickr can display up to 50 photos in the Standard edition and an unlimited number in the Slickr Flickr Pro edition.
Hi Mohua,
No it doesn’t. I will look into it though.
Does it support Flickr videos too?
Fernanda,
If you have saved your Flickr ID (e.g something like 123456@NS01) and Flickr API in Slickr Flickr Admin settings then all need to do is replace you set ID in the line below:

Hi Chel, use [slickr-flickr search=sets set=yoursetid]
Is it possible to use the PHP shortcode command to display a set?
I used the shortcode to hardcode the plugin to show in a weird theme but my client only wants to pull images from a set.
I can’t tell if the set ID will work like the user ID.
Sean – if you want a precise order that is not based on date, title or description, then use search=”sets” set=”yoursetid” to fetch photo from a photoset in exactly the order they appear in the photoset on Flickr.

Russell, I also am needing to organize the my photos within my Flickr Set in a different order than Slickr Flickr is displaying them.
Right now, even though I have my Flickr Set re-organized, it appears Slickr Flickr is pulling the 35 photos in the original order that they were uploaded to my Flickr account. I have the free version of Slickr Flickr and would greatly appreciate any advice on this.
Thanks!
No, not with Slickr Flickr which is just concerned with displaying photos.
You could try the Flickr Manager plugin which works well with Slickr Flickr
Is there a way to display all my photosets, almost like displaying my multiple albums? Not the individual photos
Hi Richard,
1. Add your Flickr API key in Slickr Flickr Admin Settings
2. Specify use_key=’y’ on the SLickr Flickr command
This is a temporary fix. A permanent solution will come out in the next release which is almost ready. If you are willing to wait you do not need to do anything
Regards
Russell
Question re the order of the images:
As suggested in the video I added 01, 02, etc to my description field of a set. But they still do not show up in the right order, any idea why not.
** The page that shows the images [photo 2 and 3 should be swapped]:
http://www.fundisa-weddings.nl/allegria-fotos/
** the code that I use to display this gallery:
[slickr-flickr tag="allegria acco" sort="description" direction="ascending"]
I hope you can help me

Hi Chad,
There are a few ways or doing sorting. Photos are fetched using the set’s Flickr RSS feed so Slickr Flickr will use that order by default. It is not clear to me how Flickr order its Flickr RSS feed though it does look a bit like ‘most recent first’. I am not sure that if you sort them on Flickr that Flickr also sorts the RSS feed. Best way is to try it and see
Slickr Flickr can also do its own sorting too – by date, by title or by description – see http://www.slickrflickr.com/414/how-to-sort-your-flickr-slideshow-photos

When displaying a set, will it honor the order of images in that set on Flickr? If I rearrange that set, will the display order in wordpress change to match?
Hi Richard,
The post is current.
As regards using the API to fetch 50 photos:
So the limitation is 20 photos for sets
Do I understand well that the API to fetch the 50 images is not working currently? Or is this an old post?
Richard
