Slickr Flickr WordPress Plugin
I have just completed development of a WordPress plugin which takes tagged photos from Flickr and displays them as a slideshow or as a gallery.
The plugin is called Slickr Flickr.
Why Slickr Flickr Is The Best WordPress Flickr Plugin
This is my somewhat biased opinion as to why it is a top Flickr plugin:
- It is easy to add Flickr slideshows or galleries to posts, pages and sidebar widgets by using the slick-flickr short code
- It displays slideshows of tagged photos from Flickr without any Flickr branding
- There is no limit to the number of shows you can have of a single page
- When you upload a new photo to Flickr and tag it then the photo automatically appears in your slideshow or gallery without your having to update your blog post
- It supports Flickr photos at small, medium, large and original sizes
- The slideshows can be configured as portrait or landscape
- You can choose to show Captions underneath the slideshow which are autogenerated from the photo titles on Flickr
- The plugin is easy to install, configure and customize
- It is compatible with other Flickr plugins such as WP Flickr Manager which can be used to browse your Flickr photos directly from WordPress
- It has a cool name
Below are some screenshots illustrating each of ten reasons why you should use this plugin to display your Flickr photos on your WordPress Blog.
Of course, I am using the Slickr Flickr plugin to display the screenshots. I choose a gallery rather than a slideshow as the screenshots are a mix of portrait and landscape images. I also set the size parameter to “original” as all my images are at least 1024 by 768 pixels as I wanted to make them as easy to read as possible.

I just had one more question, Russell. I want my gallery to have the images closer together, like your gallery in the above example. How would I do that?

Anyways your plug-in is very versatile and I can see myself using it in many different ways! Thanks so much for creating it.
Hi Sharon,
Your CraftyCart theme is adding a padding-left of 30pixels.
To remove the extra padding amend the CSS as follows
