Intermittantly Works – too many api calls?

    I use this to populate image galleries on individual bio-pages for a sports team.

    I have the template search for the tags within our own flickr photostream based on the athlete’s name. For some of the pages it works fine, for others it doesn’t work at all and they are all being fed by the same code. I know that the tags are present and the images are public, but it still isn’t working for some reason.

    The php I have in my template is:
    <?php echo do_shortcode('[flickr_tags tags="' .get_field('rider_id_f').' '.get_field('rider_id_l'). '"]'); ?>

    Where the .get_field('rider_id_f') relates to a custom field with the first name, and then the latter refers to the last name.

    So – I’m confused because it was working, and it still works on some pages but not all.

    Is it possible that there are too many API call happening, or something else like that? We don’t see a ton of traffic, but enough. Its a great plugin and usually works like a charm, but for some reason lately its been acting up.

    Thanks!

    After looking into this more it appears it might be something fishy with Flickr’s search functionality. I can’t get my recent images (within the last 2 months) to appear consistently when tags are searched. Some of the images come up, some don’t. I suspect this is a Flickr problem, and nothing to do with the fabulous plugin!

    Can be a Flickr problem, I simply call the Flickr API to get the images, no more. Try to call the search api using the Flickr’s API Explore. and see the image set that is returned.
