Hi Michael,

Your Flikr-photo-post plugin is great. One quick question.

I would like all the images in my posts to have a width of 200. With this in mind, is there something I can do so that when I change the width value to 200, the length automatically changes to a value that is relative in scale?

Thank you for your help.

Mike

Hello! I was excited to see this plugin, but it doesn’t appear to work for me. I installed and activated it, but the Flickr option doesn’t show up in the Add An Image box. I don’t see any settings for this plugin, so I’m not sure if there’s anything else I need to configure.

I recently upgraded to the most recent WordPress, version 3.2. Is there a problem with compatibility with this version?

Hi Michael,

This is a very good plugin that you have created. But there are some deficiencies which could have been removed to make the plugin even better. Firstly, please create an option to download the image to the local server as 1)That is more reliable in case the Flickr user is deleted etc. in the future, and 2) Many WordPress themes rely on automatic resizing of the images and they require the images to be on local server. Secondly, I am not sure why is the image directly interlinked to flickr. Instead, you could just create a captain with the nofollow link as it appears in the preview while making the search. To be frank, any flickr image irrespective of license is automatically interlinked and embedded in wordpress since wordpress 3 and so this plugin hardly makes sense if only creative common license would be embedded and interlinked. Many webmasters including me would not like such a large image interlinked but would instead prefer a caption with the link as that is proper credit as per Creative Commons terms and does not drive away visitors instantly from the website. Please refer to the image in your post above named Optional: Zuschneiden which shows what I mean by saying the caption or otherwise small link. It can read like Creit:FLICKRUSER where FLICKRUSER is the name of the user as it appears in your image above and with the FLICKRUSER linked to the photo on flickr. Thirdly, there must be an option to edit the photo settings as per the media settings sizes in wordpress. For example, I mostly use 600 pixels width for the medium image instead of the default 300 on most websites as most themes fit into the 600 pixels content width.

Please correct the above three points. Right now your plugin is almost useless after wordpress 3 release to be frank as wordpress itself automatically embeds all flickr photos if you enter the link and it can even be copyrighted content.

And to get the image downloaded to server, you can check anther Flickr post plugin.

It is interesting and it downloads the files to local server and credits it as per flickr terms but then again it is missing editing of alt and title tag etc. And more important it hard codes the link url in the image which looks a bit odd though it does not interlink.

So, the ideal plugin of both your plugins which would download the image to local server, provide a caption with the Flickr photo credit instead of direct linking the image or hard coding the link and would also allow to change the alt and title tags before inserting into post. Hope that you would either modify your plugin or create a new one to achieve the above desired results.

Hi Michael,

First, great work on the plugin. I really like it. But to echo Zaman, well, a little, can you change the plugin a little so that it doesn’t link back to Flickr? I have prettyphoto installed on my WordPress as I love clicking in the small image and having it zoom up, right there in the window. Your plugin seems to break that for pics added from Flickr. I want to use your plugin, but keep the functionality of prettyphoto.

Is there a modification i can use to do that?

Thanks again for your hard work!

Das Plugin ist 100% kompatibel mit WP 3.2.1. Was für andere Plugins hast Du denn noch im Einsatz? Es gibt leider das eine oder Andere Plugin, zu dem mein Plugin nicht kompatibel ist

Hmm, ich zähl mal auf
Exec-PHP
Fold Page List
PJW Query Child Of
No Excerpt-P
Awesome Flickr Gallery
Akismet
Contact Form 7
User Role Editor
WP Mailman Integration
WP-FLV
WordPress.com Stats

Ich habe auch schon nach ähnlichen Plugins geschaut, aber leider funktioniert keins, echt erstaunlich.
Kennst du noch ein Plugin, was ähnliches kann wie deins?
liebe grüße!

This plugin adds a link to the bottom of my wordpress site. Like the plugin, hate the link addition, so I’m not going to use it anymore.

ANyway to turn it off?

[...] another tab inside the Upload Media option that allowed you to select straight from Flickr called Flickr Photo Post, but it wouldn’t display the image options properly although it seems to work other -it [...]

Noch nicht, habe aber schon einige Anforderungen zusammengesammelt. Da kommt sicher nächstes Jahr (2012) ein neues Release

In the latest wordpress update the plugin causes an error in the media uploader (links within the uploader, like “show image” stop working). Is that a known bug?

Hi michael .. great little plug-in … Just one issue it seems that with wordpress 3.3.2 your plugin breaks the abilty to add or upload photos/images to your theme main page …. I mean if you want to update or upload a image or header into your theme or wordpress site or any post(by using the insert image option), if you haev activated your plugin this is brocken ??? Need to deactive your plugin in order to upload any type of image to wordpress …. This was not the case with wordpress 3.3.1
