In this case it was about 4 minutes between uploading the photo to Flickr and having it appear in a gallery on the site. <\/i><\/p>\n<p>When you first create a slideshow or gallery, you are often at the same time adding photos to Flickr and tagging them. However, the photos do not appear immediately on your WordPress blog.<\/p>\n<p>There are two reasons for this: firstly Flickr has many servers and it takes a finite amount of time for your new photos to appear on all the servers (and we can&#8217;t do much about that) and secondly, there is WordPress feature that caches the RSS feed. The WordPress caching means that it will only read Flickr every 12 hours or so unless you clear the cache.<\/p>\n<p>Now what you can do is go to Slickr Flickr Admin Settings and press the Clear RSS Cache button.<\/p>\n<p>However to save you having to do this, Slickr Flickr Pro has a new parameter setting:<br \/>\n[code]<br \/>\ncache=&quot;off&quot;<br \/>\n[\/code]<\/p>\n<p>In the video example below I display a gallery, add a photo to Flickr, and have the gallery updated without having to clear the cache manually<\/p>\n<p>\n<div id=\"video0\" class=\"flashvideo\">\n<video src=\"http:\/\/videos.diywebmastery.com.s3.amazonaws.com\/slickr-flickr\/clear-rss-cache-automatically.mp4\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" controls poster=\"https:\/\/www.slickrflickr.com\/members\/\/\/slickrflickr.cdn746.com\/media\/splash\/clear-rss-cache-automatically.png\"><\/video><\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nvar params = { 'allowfullscreen': 'true', 'allowscriptaccess': 'always', 'wmode': 'transparent' };\nvar attributes = { 'id': 'video0', 'name': 'video0'};\nvar flashvars = {\n\t'file' : 'http:\/\/videos.diywebmastery.com.s3.amazonaws.com\/slickr-flickr\/clear-rss-cache-automatically.mp4',\n\t'image' : 'https:\/\/www.slickrflickr.com\/members\/\/\/slickrflickr.cdn746.com\/media\/splash\/clear-rss-cache-automatically.png',\n\t'width' : '640',\n\t'height' : '480',\n\t'controlbar' : 'bottom',\n\t'dock' : 'false',\n\t'icons' : 'true',\n\t'logo.hide' : 'false',\n\t'logo.position' : 'bottom-left',\n\t'playlist' : 'none',\n\t'skin' : 'https:\/\/www.slickrflickr.com\/members\/wp-content\/plugins\/html5-and-flash-video-player\/skins\/simple\/simple.swf',\n\t'autostart' : 'false',\n\t'bufferlength' : '1',\n\t'item' : '0',\n\t'mute' : 'false',\n\t'repeat' : 'none',\n\t'shuffle' : 'false',\n\t'smoothing' : 'true',\n\t'stretching' : 'uniform',\n\t'volume' : '90'\n };\nswfobject.embedSWF(\"https:\/\/www.slickrflickr.com\/members\/wp-content\/plugins\/html5-and-flash-video-player\/mediaplayer\/player.swf\", \"video0\", \"640\", \"480\", \"9.0.0\",\"https:\/\/www.slickrflickr.com\/members\/wp-content\/plugins\/html5-and-flash-video-player\/mediaplayer\/expressinstall.swf\", flashvars, params, attributes);\n<\/script>\n<!-- End HTML5 and Flash Video Player Plugin -->\n<\/p>\n<h2>Example of Clearing the Cache Automatically<\/h2>\n<p>[code]slickr-flickr type=&quot;gallery&quot; tag=&quot;atlantis&quot; use_key=&quot;y&quot; cache=&quot;off&quot;[\/code]<\/p>\n<div id=\"flickr_atlantis_411\"><div class=\"slickr-flickr-gallery sf-lightbox\"><ul><li class=\"active\"><a href=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/5088\/5253061440_7339df332d.jpg\"  ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/5088\/5253061440_7339df332d_s.jpg\"   title=\"Fish\" \/><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/5246\/5252452897_69f0377a27.jpg\"  ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/5246\/5252452897_69f0377a27_s.jpg\"   title=\"Tall Guy\" \/><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4061\/4352977177_5c001dab56.jpg\"  ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4061\/4352977177_5c001dab56_s.jpg\"   title=\"Steel Band at Atlantis\" \/><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a little bit of a tutorial and a little bit of an experiment as you never really know how long it takes for Flickr to make a change available.
