slickr gallery troubleshoot

  • slickr gallery plugin

    I loaded the slickr and lightbox plugins on a completely new installation of wordpress to eliminate the variables of why it wasn’t working for my website. I even installed the Hemingway theme to ensure compatibility. The albums show up but when I click on an album, it gives me the 404 page not found.

    Does anyone know why?

    I’d appreciate any insight. Thanks!

  • I installed this plugin and the lightbox 2 plugin. When I realised the widget could only be configured for personal Flickr accounts I tried to uninstall it. Although it no longer appears on my dashboard plugin page, I can’t remove it from my root files. I didn’t have this problem with the author’s lightbox plugin.

    Did you install it using the Plugin Install method through the dashboard that comes from some plugin? I can’t remember the name of it, if you did, chances are you don’t have permissions to delete the folder because you are not the original installer of the files, WordPress is, and you need to contact your server admins to have them uninstall/delete the folder that contains the slickr plugin. If you use that automated installer, this will happen with all the plugins you install.

    If this is not the case, message me and let me know.

    Also, if your using the default ?=172 as your permalinks, you need to change them to something more customer like /postname/ to get it to work

    Requirements:

    * Your web server/PHP setup will need to have the libcurl library installed in order for this plugin to work.
    * You need to change your post options from the default ?=172 to /year/month/day/ or /postname/.
    * You will need the widgets plugin and a widget-compatible WordPress theme to use the Slickr Widget.

    WP Plugin Installer was the plugin that installs from the Dashboard. This has caused issues in the past from other Content Management Systems I have used. This will install a plugin, but since it is being installed from the site, the server registers the site as the installer and when you try to uninstall it, because the permissions are all messed up, the server doesn’t know what to do and you have to get your server admins to uninstall it for you manually. You could try doing it yourself, but if that doesn’t just get the admins.
