Flickr not showing images…just boxes

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hope this is a new problem! My new blog does not show flickr images. Im guessing I am not doing the RSS correctly. All photos are public.

    If I use the RSS feed link ‘as is’ (starts like this: Uploads from fresherwinds http://www.flickr.com/photos/32917392@N07/ Thu, 18 Dec 2008 02:46:23 -0800 Thu, 18 Dec 2008 02:46:23 -0800 http://www.flickr.com/ http://l.yimg.com/g/images/buddy……) then I get nothing but the title and a “more photos” link that doesnt work.

    If I delete the “Uploads from fresherwinds http://www.flickr.com/photos/32917392@N07/ Thu, 18 Dec 2008 02:46:23 -0800 Thu, 18 Dec 2008 02:46:23 -0800” from the RSS (show just starting with the http stuff), I then get 3 empty boxes that show the photo title with mouse-over, but clicking doesnt give anything.

    The RSS is long (12 photos), and just ends in this: …45643/” title=”PHTO0046″><img src=”http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3121/3114045643_7b395471c1_m.jpg” width=”240″ height=”180″ alt=”PHTO0046″ /></p> <p>Exif jpeg 2.1</p> Tue, 16 Dec 2008 17:40:18 -0800 2008-12-11T15:52:33-08:00 (email visible only to moderators and staff) (fresherwinds) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/3114045643 PHTO0046 <p>Exif jpeg 2.1</p> fresherwinds trek john village wichcraft missionary pastor

    Id appreciate how to fix this. Thanks

  • You were using the incorrect RSS URL. Please see http://support.wordpress.com/widgets/23/ for how to obtain the correct feed URL.

    I have corrected the widget for you, and the images now display as expected.

    Thanks bubel,

    That fixed it, but I still done know why because my flickr YOU screen has a different RSS section then that on your support page:

    RSS Subscribe to fresherwinds’ photostream – Latest | geoFeed | KML

    Ive tried to look everywhere for the other but cant. This may help others.

    Thanks much anyway
