Hi trent congrats for the new implementations on 2.0 and 2.01, specially the flickr manager button!
But I must say that have some problems with IE, the close button and the background withe rectangle appears on the bottom of the page at the page load, besides a black rectangle appears over the header with id=overlay…
I just unistalled the 2.01 version and got back to 2.0
May 8th, 2008 at 4:42 am
Would be great to add a feature to jump to a certain page if you have more than 10 pages that’d be very useful!
May 8th, 2008 at 9:21 am
Alejandro,
Version 2.0.1 fixes the problem with the black overlay and the close buttons appearing at the bottom etc.
There’s an issue with Lightbox and Highslide not working on IE 7 but I was planning on fixing that today or tomorrow if I find the time.
Thanks,
Trent
May 8th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
OK, thanks Trent for your reply.
btw if you need some help with some design stuff with this plugin just let me know.
Thanks
May 10th, 2008 at 4:52 am
Hi there - I also like the 2.0.1, but I’m having the same issue with the black overly in IE7.
May 11th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
Hi! great plugin but i have a problem when I try upload a picture, i read this: “You do not have permission to upload photos to this stream, you may adjust this in the settings page!”
How i can solve that?, thank you very much
May 13th, 2008 at 5:04 am
Hey, when I activated the plugin, a black box appeared on the top of my site covering the first post and the header image completely. It disappeared when de-activated. Any ideas? Using Firefox and downloaded latest version from here.
May 13th, 2008 at 5:21 am
Hello!
In the first place, sorry for my bad English I’m Spanish!
^^ I have made a donation of 5 euros for your great job with this plugin. Really, I can’t live without it.
Since some time ago I’m using the 1.4.0.1 version because works great with my blog. Today I tried to use the new 2.0.1 and all works fine less one thing.
When I try to edit an entry, when I click on an image that’s doesn’t go to the entry. If I’m posting a new entry that works great, but if I’m modifying one doesn’t work. Moreover, I can’t upload any image, the page stays freeze charging forever and ever.

Aaaah! I’m using Wordpress 2.3.3, by the way.
May 13th, 2008 at 5:26 am
Mmmmmm, I’m not sure but the problem with the freeze charging when I upload a photo maybe is a fault of Flickr, because I’m using now the 1.4.0.1 version and do the same.
May 14th, 2008 at 7:22 am
Yes, I’m having this black overlay problem with version 2.0.1 too.
May 14th, 2008 at 10:41 pm
Hi!
2.0.2 works great!!
Fixed the problems that I mentioned.
Only one problem still:
Doesn’t work: “Default viewer size:” to Original size.
In the Admin Legacy Panel that options doesn’t appear and if in Flickr Options I activate “Default Viewer Size: Original” then the image shows the Small Size.
Thanks for all!
May 15th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
Hi Trent - New version working very well for me, many thanks for your work!
May 16th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Thanks for the amazing plugin! It is great being able to link to albums straight from flickr and view them within my blog
The only glitch I’ve found is that I can’t set image size to square and have the viewer size as large. The viewer automatically scales back down to medium. The only way around this that I’ve found is making the image size large. This doesn’t look pretty though.
Any comments/suggestions on how to fix this would be great! Thanks again!
May 21st, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Hi just want to say I like the plug in. I just have 2 questions. When I ad a set, is there any way to have it so that I have one picture rather than little thumbnails in my set. Also, if I want to place single images any way to have an option not to link to anything? I know I can just cut out the a href tag. Was wondering about any automatic options. thanks again
Nico.

The images in the pop-up flickr manager window aren’t now clickable for me.. any ideas what it could be?
May 23rd, 2008 at 1:16 am
Good Script but conflict with lightroom+slickr
Hope an update
See ya, good work
May 23rd, 2008 at 6:48 pm
Hi This is a great plugin and works very well. I am currently in the process of moving my static site to WP.. i am using this plugin there. I have an issue with the positioning of the flickr image in the lightbox preview.. The image has padding on the left and top but the right side is cut off by some pixels. Do you have some fix for this.
May 26th, 2008 at 6:58 am
Hi. Great plugin so far, really enjoying it. Just have one problem… where do the files go when you upload using the Flickr Manager on the ‘write a post’ page from Wordpress? We seem to loose then as they’re not ending up in our Flickr stream.
Thanks.
May 26th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
The plug in is awesome! I am using 2.0.2 and have the same problem like comment#12. I hope next update you will ad more js viewer though …like multibox (http://www.phatfusion.net/multibox/) may be?
Thank you for great work.
May 26th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
I’ve been looking around for a plugin like this for who knows how long!
Exactly what I was after but I would like to make a suggestion. Would it be possible to automatically add the link to the image page in the caption of the LightBox script?
This is because I don’t show all my images of a set just highlights but if a person was to click on the image, they would be able to see a link to the rest of the set/or just a link to the image page so they can comment.
This might be a bit confusing, I just typed whatever came to mind & didn’t go over it.
May 26th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
Scrap my previous comment. I’ll simplify it.
I’ve been looking around for a plugin like this for who knows how long!
Exactly what I was after but I would like to make a suggestion. Would it be possible to add a “View this image in Flickr” link to the caption of each image? Also would it be possible to grab the description/title of the image from Flickr & then add it to the caption in LightBox as well?
May 27th, 2008 at 10:42 am
Is it possible to automatically add a whole Flickr set to a wordpress post? Other than individually clicking each photo in turn in the pop-up window?
May 29th, 2008 at 4:19 am
Hi!
Your plugin seems very promising, but I cant download it
When clicking on the link, it takes me to a blank page of your blog
(showing the download url in the browser address box), I tried to download using ’save link destination’ but I get an invalid file 
Please, can you fix it?
May 30th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
Hi trent, really nice to find the chance to choose between highslide and lightbox. But I’m not able to use lightbox properly (when I click on a thumb I get redirected to flickr, I had set correcty the Flickr manager options) so this could be an issue with the jquery lightbox in new version (2.0.2)
Is there a possibility to setup highslide in any way?
Thanks and have a nice weekend
June 1st, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Thank you so much for your plugin. It works awesome for me.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I’ve been using the Highslide option & I find it wonderful. There is an issue when I have a set of images & continue to move to the previous & next image until it just leaves a “Loading.” image on the thumbnail. There doesn’t seem to be that issue with the original Highslide JS.
Also how would you insert the controlbar to an image like the second example on the Highslide homepage?
June 8th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
nice plugin…..waiting for the latest version with new features to be updated
June 10th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
Great Plugin! Thank you so much, awesome job!
June 21st, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Hi.
nice work. nice plugin. like the way you did everything except from the lightbox-stuff.
I have som other flickr-integration in my blogg and so i’ve activated the standard lightbox-2 -plugin. it messes that up..
i wish it could be like:
i don’t know if i’m asking for documentation on the w
June 21st, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Hi. man, sorry. posted to early.
i wish it could be like:
i don’t know if i’m asking for documentation on the wrapping-stuff OR just different way of wrapping as standard and also to install and configure the lightbox ourselves.. but, yeah.
my other light-box-thing is messed up in Safari but works in Opera/Fx/etc when using highslide. it’s all messed up if using your implemented light-box-plugin.
do you get what i’m trying to say/ask/tell you?
June 24th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Love the plugin, it’s sped up my blogging no end.
I have a few problems however:
The new button system doesn’t save my settings, such as photo size, JS size, and set I’m looking at.
So for every photo I insert, I have to select all those options again, which is slower than if it would save them, or even stay open while I navigate round my text and add extra photos.
Also, I can’t seem to find a way in the new system of how to page through sets, I just see the first five images. Sadly the only way around this issue I can find is for me to go back and use the older system.
June 25th, 2008 at 6:30 am
Is it possible to add other flickr account’s pictures or search for the pictures of a certain user.
June 25th, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Great Plugin….
Is there any way to display the images in the lightbox view larger than “large” - it seems the large setting doesn’t let the pictures grow larger than 500 pixels (maximum dimension)?
I am wondering if there is any I might be able to tweak what “large” is.
June 27th, 2008 at 3:09 am
Hello,
I want to thank you for this great plugin! I guess my favourite aspect of it is that how it is constantly being updated and being developed on.
I’m working on a club website where different people would be uploading alot of photos in all kinds of categories, so I’ll be most grateful if you’ll consider adding more functionality to the upload component, for example multiple-images uploading, uploading to a set, etc. A way to manage photos by set is greatly appreciated too.
Once again, thanks!
June 27th, 2008 at 7:55 am
If you add something like this, you can include a link to the original Flickr page in the caption (nice if your Lightbox size is Medium but a large image is available on Flickr).
$(’a[@rel*=flickr-mgr’)).each(function() {
$(this).attr(’title’,$(this).attr(’title’) + ‘View on Flickr‘);
}
This is a great plugin.
June 27th, 2008 at 7:59 am
Whoops, WordPress messed that up a little.
$(this).attr(’title’,$(this).attr(’title’) + ‘<a href=”‘ + $(this).attr(’href’) + ‘”>View on Flickr</a>’);
July 1st, 2008 at 12:17 am
Ok - responding to my own comment - I found that if I link the pictures in as a SET the large size in lightbox ends up being a little smaller (porbably something about using a flickr set as a resource - don’t know).
If I just select the individual pictures rather than a set and choose lightbox/large when adding them to the blog the result is a picture that has a larger lightbox presentation than when you pick the same pictures as a set and choose large (which ends up being the smaller 500px presentation).
I actually prefer linking them in individually rather than as a set anyways so im all good - thanks!
July 6th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
This is a terrific plugin… except it doesn’t play well with Events Calendar (or the other way around, I don’t know which).
Info:
WP 2.5.1
PHP 5.2.5
Events Calendar 6.4
Flickr Manager 2.0.2
I had Events Calendar installed and running fine before installing Flickr Manager. As soon as I activated FM, the calendar in my sidebar began malfunctioning (event dates disappear, previous/next month links disappear). I deactivated FM, and the calendar begins working properly once more.
FM seems to work fine on the other hand.
I sure wish I could use both of these plugins at the same time for certain sites. Thanks…
July 12th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
Im using the events calendar for wordpress plugin by http://www.lukehowell.com/ and when I upload the flickr magaer plugin to my wordpress the calendar events and links to navigate the month do not show up.
If I deactivate this plugin my calendar works just fine. I dont know exactly what is wrong Im kinda new to the whole wordpress/plugin thing
But id like it to be fixed so I can use both plugins without having to disable yours after I finish posting flickr image from my post in wordpress
July 12th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
Wow. This is awesome.
Only two suggestions: 1) Allow whole sets to be posted (already mentioned) and 2) Allow viewers to scan to the “next” image within a post while in the lightbox view.
July 13th, 2008 at 12:51 am
I had WFM 2.02 activitated in a WP 2.51 / K2 theme / GeoPress environment and WFM was killing my GeoPress maps in FF and IE - had to disable it for now - maybe a CSS thing? - thanks

Anyone knows if that plugins works with WP 2.6? It’s a essential plugin for my blog of Wordpress. Anyone have tested it?
July 18th, 2008 at 4:33 am
very cool plugin! Thanks a lot. Three things though - one, there’s an error in the manager window in WP 2.6 -
“Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argumented is expected to be a valid callback, ‘media_admin_css’ was given in …wordpress/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 311″.
Two, the manager windows doesn’t stay open when the checkbox is unchecked. Would it be possible to either fix this or allow shift click selections?
Three, the list of albums only includes albums with at least one public photo.
Thanks again!
Tobias
July 27th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Hi, ty for the plugin, on the popup window to select and upload images I get this warning.
Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘media_admin_css’ was given in /homefolder/blah/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 311
Im using wordpress 2.6
It still works with the warning, I’m not sure why I get this warning though. I’ll have to look into it.
July 30th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Sorry all, I’ve been MIA for the last couple of months, working on a large project for work.
Version 2.0.3 should fix the compatibility issues you’ve been having with other plugins. As well as being WordPress 2.6 compatible!
July 30th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Trent - Works fine now with 2.6, thanks for the update…
Matt
July 31st, 2008 at 9:57 pm
I had lightbox 2 installed before going to the flickr manager and now have a problem is using the lightbox with flickr manager(the highslide works perfectly): it opens the image on another page.
Could you please give me an idea on how to make things work for the flickr manager, please.
August 6th, 2008 at 3:38 am
Trent,
First thing, great plug-in. I’ve been using it for a few months and it’s great, I’ve had no problems with it until just now when I updated it to 2.0.4. When the frame opens and I select Medium for my image size all the pictures overlap each other and none are clickable. I’m running the latest of WordPress 2.6.
Any suggestions?
August 6th, 2008 at 3:38 am
Sorry, should have said I’m using IE 7.
August 6th, 2008 at 3:40 am
Crap, and it happens in Firefox 3 as well.
August 6th, 2008 at 9:42 am
Iain, go to your Flickr Manager settings and change “Limit browse image size to” to something like square or thumbnail then click save.
2.0.4 had a massive revamp on the settings system, so you may just need to click save again.
August 6th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
thanks for the plugin. but why i got failed to open stream when i install it online. in my local test is works correctly. any idea?
August 6th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Mario, does your web host have a firewall that’s blocking outgoing php connections?
August 6th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Trent, thanks for the response. That worked great.
But now I’m having a problem where I uncheck the “close on insert” button but the window still closes after insert.
August 6th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
You’re using WordPress 2.6…
Unfortunately they changed the send_to_editor javascript function in the wordpress core to close the thickbox window whenever an image is inserted..
I was going to remove the ‘close on insert’ check box in my latest release, but I decided to leave it there for everyone who hasn’t upgraded their copy of wordpress yet.
I might try to look into a work around for it in the next release
August 7th, 2008 at 2:31 am
Do you have a link where I can download the older version of the Flickr Manager that put the manager in the posting page, instead of this fancy new popup window? I post a lot of pics in my blog and it’s a huge problem to put multiple pictures in my posts.
thanks.
August 7th, 2008 at 9:17 am
Every version of Flickr Manager still has that, just go to your settings page and check “Enable Legacy Support”
EDIT: If you redownload the latest version of Flickr Manager, the close on insert button will be fixed for WordPress 2.6 again!
August 10th, 2008 at 4:20 am
umm, I upgraded to the release from Aug 5th, and lightbox stopped working.
It now takes you to the flickr page for the image, instead of loading the lightbox popup.
Thoughts?
Thanks
August 12th, 2008 at 8:59 am
Hey Mr. Gardner, first of all, thank you for an AWESOME plug-in.
Secondly, I’m having some problems since I upgraded to 2.0.4 and WP 2.6. The new way of adding pictures doesn’t work good, I’m getting red warning text in the popup windows saying “Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in /data/members/paid/i/l/ilmari.se/htdocs/www/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-flickr-manager/MediaPanel.php on line 26″ - is this due to settings on my server?
The rest of the popup window loads, I can see my pictures but not click on them.
However, the old way of posting images still work good.
August 17th, 2008 at 12:01 am
Veeery nice plugin so far… but i only get the “This photo is currently unavailable” notice in the Lightbox/Highslide for _any_ photo.
Where the … might that come from?
August 17th, 2008 at 12:17 am
OK, seems like it doesnt work if large == original size as it wont find the large version… or something like that
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:32 am
All the posted problems concerning IE7… when will those people wise up, get out of the stone-age and start using Firefox? I have noticed in many a support section that developers are either ignoring or flatly stating that they will not make changes to suit IE7… good call as far as I’m concerned. Too many php and css files have to include fixes to accomodate IE. Hey, forget about it!
August 24th, 2008 at 3:19 am
@Pablo DiCiacco
Unfortunately 90% of the world is shipping with IE7 and soon IE8 as the standard browsers, and a huge portion of those computers will never have any alternative browser installed.
Yes, I agree its a major hassle, and MS needs to get out of their stone age position of building proprietary systems like it… but…. its the sad truth that everyone will be using it for the years to come.
