This update doesn’t change much, so as usual you should only upgrade if you see something in the changes that sounds interesting. Straight out of the changelog in the readme:

• Switched to using wp-load.php in the popup tool.
• Turned captions on by default.
• Moved things around on the photo insert page to work better on netbook screens.
• Tested with WP 2.9.

This update just adds some options to the widget, so if you don’t use the widget there’s no need to update. @susansoaps asked how to display images horizontally with the widget, which wasn’t easy to do because the widget was wrapping images in <p> tags. So, the widget now offers options to specify exactly what you want displayed before and after each image. The plugin checks and cleans a few things, but it does NOT check to be sure your tags match or even close properly – check your tags if your site looks broken. Some quick hints:

• For a horizontal row of images, just leave before and after blank. Put a space in after if you want space between your images.
• For a vertical presentation, use <p> before and </p> after or just <br /> after.

This update adds a bunch of error checks and notices to make sure that you enter a working Flickr API key and a working capability in the settings. I set “edit_posts” as the default capability to use the plugin since choosing that was a little nebulous. I also fixed a bug where only the first page of search results was showing up (which I noticed while adding some jquery show/hide stuff for the license lists). Finally, I added an option to turn off captions by default. They’re still turned on to start with, but I figure that if you’re just using this plugin with your own photos you might not want captions.

There’s now a nice changelog in the WordPress Plugins Directory that you can check out to see if I missed anything.

This update to flickpress expands the search feature I added to the previous version, adding search for user photos too. I also added a list of the Creative Commons and other licenses so you can choose which you’d like to search – maybe useful if you want to find a photo photo you don’t need to attribute. Finally, you can now add users by either email or username.

Due to a switch to the probably-recommended method of doing settings pages this version requires WordPress 2.8 or later.

Inspired a bit by Svein’s comment, I added a feature to search Flickr for Creative Commons and public domain photos. It’s probably still a little rough, but seems to work pretty well so far. Since most licenses require attribution, I’ve turned on the caption by default – and it now includes a link to the photo’s owner.
