  Are both your blog and your Flickr account public, not private?

  How long have you waited for the cached data to display?

  Did you use this guide? https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/flickr-widget/

  Is this a widget visibility settings issue?

  Yes they are both public.
  I waited overnight and then redid it about ten minutes ago.
  Yes I followed the guide.
  I’ll have a look at the last link to the visibility support.

  Thanks for your quick answer and help, lets hope I can work it out from the link.
  best wishes

  I have tried it again without success but .
  If I leave the url box empty then I get a selection of what look like stock photos in my sidebar.

  So just before I try your suggestion for staff help does this give you a clue to where the problem is?
  My Flickr is set to public.

  Okay all my fault, I was copying/pasting the wrong thing.
  Thanks for your help, all sorted now.

  Just one question – do the photos in the sidebar stay the same until I add more to Flickr or do they ‘rotate’ in some way.

  Hooray! Thanks for letting us know. I ❤️ happy endings.

  I don’t know so another Volunteer or Staff will have to answer your question.

  Hi there! The Flickr widget allows you to show thumbnails of your latest Flickr photos in your sidebar. It will not update until you upload more images to your Flickr account.
