Hemingway Flickr wordpress plugin [updated]
Last updated: April 20th 2006, 2:13PM (thanks, Marcel!)
Now uses v0.4 of Joe Tan’s Flickr photo album plugin for WordPress.
I’ve been using the Flickr album wordpress plugin for over a week now, and have been very pleased. I’ve had three small gripes with it, and offer my modifications for download to others:
- The generated xhtml now validates
- The plugin gracefully integrates with the Hemingway theme for WordPress
- Lightbox AJAX is used to display the photos if it is installed
So if you’re a Hemingway user, and you have Lightbox enabled (or not!), give it a try! Get it here.
See it in action.
Thanks, Joe and Silas Partners, for a great plugin!


Hi Rupert,
I wanted to contact you through email, but I didn’t find an option on your website so I was left with no option but to register and then leave a comment.
I have the latest version of hemingway installed on the most up to date version of wordpress. I downloaded and installed your plugin (as well as lightbox), but I can’t seem to get the plugin to work like yours.
When I go to configure the plugin, I go through the process of linking it to my flickr account (lagerstatten) and set the permission (read-only). I then set a directory where the photo album will be displayed as (http://www.lagerstatten.ca/flickr).
However when I update the cache and go to the URL, all I get is a parent directory list showing the directory but there’s no actual page there like yours (/gallery).
I must have done something wrong but I’m blind to see it. Can I get some help with this matter? Thanks in advance. Must appreciated.

The solution is simple: delete the directory you made on your webserver (./flickr/)
The plugin uses blah.com/flickr/ as a virtual directory… meaning when there is a request for that (non-existent) directory, the plugin does its kung foo and spits out a gallery of photos. If there’s an actual directory there, it won’t work, instead spitting out the contents of that directory; in your case, a directory full of nothing.
Once you delete this directory, going to /flickr/ (note the trailing slash!) will show your gallery.
I’m setting up a new blog using hemingway. I love your version of the flickr album plugin… good work!
Quick question… How did you do the flickr badge in your sidebar at the bottom?
I think if your blog supports widgets the plugin creates one for this purpose… but not sure about how to make it happen in hemingway.
Thanks!
The Flickr Hemingway block is part of jPortfolio… you can grab the plugin and block from http://www.jwvanderbeck.com/wordpress-plugins/jportfolio/
You can specify how many images you want as part of the block, and prefix with “-” if you want them randomized. EG: -9 returns 9 random images.
Sorry to have to use the comments part for silly questions, but I’m having trouble getting this stuff to work and I just wondered if I could pursuade you to have a peek at it?
I’m doing a website for a family reunion next year, and I’ve just set up this thing, but I can’t get the lightbox stuff to work as it should! I click the thumb and the screen fades out to black, but where the photo should appear there is just a white square…

Wow, I managed to make it work. The href attribute for the a-tags were wrong. Well… not wrong… they just needed modification so that they linked directly to the medium sized images in the flickr account. Works like a charm now :)

when I go to options>photo gallery, below the menu is balnk. so I have no way to configure the flickr settings.
Wild guess: The permissions for your Hemingway-flickr plugin’s folder need to be 755, or world-readable and -executable
