Topic: Flick Cannot Find User - How to fix?

This is the message:

Cannot find Flickr User: Akron Children\'s Hospital

I've confirmed with the page you link to with the tool to extract the information:

Flickr Username: Akron Children's Hospital
Flickr ID: 32960598@N07
Flickr URL: http://www.flickr.com/people/akronchildrens/

I am running the WP plugin version Version 1.2.0.1
I have been able to create Flickr galleries in the past.

These are in my "pro" options:

flickrUserId="32960598@N07"
flickrSetId="72157633271767055"

The backslash before the apostrophe suggests that your web server's PHP installation may have magic quotes turned on. Please see the Disabling Magic Quotes page and try turning off magic quotes to see if this solves the problem.

Also, when using flickrSetId, there is no need to specify a flickrUserName or FlickrUserId so perhaps just specifying the flickrSetId will avoid the problem.

I see my last reply is gone. An email indicates you left a reply to that response, but it too is gone. I am reposting in case of technical glitches.

I tried just using just flickrSetId in the pro options box but that did not work. Interestingly, if I leave the Flickr Username field blank, but this in the pro options )flickrSetId="72157633271767055") it loads a flickr gallery, just not ours. It loads a gallery from a Flickr use in Scandinavia. This is the page containing our gallery: http://inside.akronchildrens.org/test-f … x-gallery/

Magic quotes are turned off. Here is that part of our php.ini file:

; feature. Also note, this feature has been deprecated as of PHP 5.3.0 and is
; scheduled for removal in PHP 6.
; Default Value: On
; Development Value: Off
; Production Value: Off
; http://www.php.net/manual/en/info.confi … quotes-gpc
magic_quotes_gpc = Off

; Magic quotes for runtime-generated data, e.g. data from SQL, from exec(), etc.
; http://www.php.net/manual/en/info.confi … es-runtime
magic_quotes_runtime = Off

; Use Sybase-style magic quotes (escape ' with '' instead of \').
; http://www.php.net/manual/en/sybase.con … tes-sybase
magic_quotes_sybase = Off

Thanks for any additional thoughts on what to try.

Yes, sorry about that. A few posts have disappeared over the past 24 hours due to a hosting issue but that has now been resolved.

With regard to your query, if I paste your Flick Set Id (72157633271767055) into JuiceboxBuilder-Pro, it correctly displays your 13 images.
The problem is that your gallery is a Juicebox-Lite gallery (as can be seen by the Juicebox badge/logo in the bottom right corner of the gallery) and the flickrSetId configuration option is supported by Juicebox-Pro only.
You can upgrade your WP-Juicebox installation from Juicebox-Lite to Juicebox-Pro by following the instructions on this page.

(As your Juicebox-Lite gallery uses Flickr as a source of images but does not include a Flickr User Name and does not support flickrSetId , it displays Flickr's 'most interesting' public images.)

Thanks for your help!

Upgrading to 1.3.0 pro and only using the flickrSetId is now loading the correct gallery. I must have gotten out of sync with my updates.

Best,
