When I tried to post a photo earlier today over at my little photo blog flickpress gave me a notice saying my API key was no good. I think Flickr does expire keys from time to time, so I checked my key. It looked correct so I did some further testing. I finally figured out that the Flickr API no longer includes the flickr.test.echo method, which flickpress was using to test API keys. It seems silly to me, but the easiest way to test now appears to be to just fetch a recent photo – so that’s what flickpress does now.
This version also fixes some cosmetic issues in the popup tool. It should be fully compatible with WordPress 3.0, but I’ll wait until the actual release to claim it really works. I’ve done a little testing with WP 3.0 in MU-mode and flickpress seems to work, but others have reported it doesn’t work.
Get flickpress 1.7.1 at the WordPress Plugin Directory or by upgrading as usual.
