  When I want to add an image from Flickr, I can just add it copying the url under the text (when I go on the Gallery and try adding it from an url, it says that the format is not good). The problem is that I can´t modify the images this way and they are quite small..

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Please give us a link to both the Post where this is happening and at least one of the flickr images that you are using.

  Please also explain a little about how you are embedding the flickr image.

  Images used in a Gallery feature (as defined here) can only be uploaded to your WordPressdotcom site. They can’t be linked from somewhere else like flickr.

  Also, when you insert an image by URL, whether in either the New Dash Editor or the Classic WP Admin Editor, that URL needs to end with JPG, JPEG, GIF or PNG. See here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/images/adding-images-to-posts-or-pages/#insert-an-image-from-the-web

  So, I don’t have the problem with size, I cannot seem to get the photo centered. I do not like my photos to the left. Help! How can I center my photos when adding to my blog via Flickr?
