    Hi Sayontan.
    Apologies.
    Not sure if my issue is the same, but i use flickr albums and despite having high numbers of images in my albums, the popup only shows 1 of 500, to 500 of 500, instead of say 1147 in the example below.
    https://richardpittam.com/blog/index.php/2017-images/
    I have checked the file as shown above and by the way, i have version 1.68 – extract below.
    // Flickr-Specific …
    // ‘view’ => ‘photos’ // photos | collections | galleries | photosets: if only a user id is passed, what should be displayed?
    ‘privacy_filter’ => ”,
    ‘count’ => 500,
    ‘page’ => 1,
    ‘paginate’ => false,
    ‘collections_display’ => ‘expanded’,
    ‘user_id’ => ”,
    ‘collection_id’ => ”,
    ‘photoset_id’ => ”,
    ‘gallery_id’ => ”,
    ‘photo_id’ => ”,
    ‘media’ => $photonic_flickr_media,
    I tried changing the ‘count’ => value to 1500 but no change and also tried the ‘paginate’ => value to true, but no change.
    Please advise.
    THanks.
    Richard.

    This was a limitation until version 1.67 of the plugin – there was no way to display more than the maximum limit of photos in a overlaid popup. The maximum limit for Flickr happens to be 500, which is why you are seeing that many in the overlaid popup. Even if you pass more than 500, Flickr will cap it off at 500 and give you the response.

    In version 1.68 I added an option to display more than this limit, but I haven’t had the time to update the documentation for this for Flickr. I had documented this for Google Photos though. Basically you can pass an additional parameter to the shortcode, photo_more="Show More", and that will show you a “Show More” button in the overlaid popup panel. Clicking on it will load up the additional new images, and the button will continue to appear until all images are displayed.

    That’s smashing, thanks Sayontan – works perfectly.

    [gallery type="flickr" user_id='12345678@XXX' view='photosets' photoset_id='72157690455212941' media='photos' tag_mode='any' sort='date-taken-desc' layout='mosaic' caption='title' thumb_size='m' main_size='o' photo_more='Show More' ]

    Cheers.
    Richard.
