WordPress is by far the most popular blogging platform and anyone using it would have surely found a need for an effective and working WordPress Flickr plugin at some point of time.
Please find here two of my favorite plugins.
1) Slickr Flickr: This plugin will allow you to quickly and easily incorporate your Flickr photos into your WordPress pages and posts.
Link: http://www.slickrflickr.com/
- Displays Flickr photos as a gallery or an unbranded slideshow (i.e not Flickr’s own slideshow widget)
- Uses “slickr-flickr” shortcode to make adding a Flickr show really easy
- Can display multiple galleries, multiple gallerias and multiple slideshows on the same page
- Can display slideshows in sidebar widgets
- Can display slideshows at medium 640, medium and small Flickr Photo sizes (500px by 375px and 240px by 180 px)
- Can display slideshows as portrait or landscape
- Best fits the slideshow if a mix of landscape and portrait photos are used
- Can display captions for each photo in the slideshow using the photo’s title from Flickr
- Can alter slideshow settings for each individual slideshow by including attributes after the shortcode (e.g orientation=”portrait”)
- Uses the Galleria jQuery plugin to display the large photo with thumbnails below
- Uses the Lightbox jQuery plugin to display each photo in the gallery using an overlaid window
- Uses the Lightbox Slideshow jQuery plugin to display an automatic slideshow of each photo in the gallery using an overlaid window
- Integrates with LightBox Plus, ShadowBox, ShutterBox, SlimBox, Highslide, Evolution and WP Pretty Photo plugins as well as the ThickBox lightbox which is bundled with WordPress
2) Flickr Gallery: Displays photos from your Flickr account either as gallery, a galleria, or as an unbranded slideshow in posts, pages, or sidebar widgets.
