This Flickr plugin for WordPress will allow you to pull in your Flickr photosets and display them as albums on your WordPress site. There is a pretty simple template provided, but you can customize the templates 100% to match the look and feel of your own site. And if you want, you could also hook it up with Lightbox or any other number of display libraries. 

On the backend, this plugin will also add a new Flickr icon to your WordPress edit screen which will allow you to easily insert your Flickr photos into your blog posts with just a couple clicks. You can either have your inserted photos link back to your WordPress Flickr photo album or directly to your Flickr.com photo page.

WordPress 1.x: This plugin HAS NOT been tested with older versions of WordPress. If you are using an old version of WordPress, and want to be able to easily insert photos into your blog posts, then you can download the Flickr Post Bar instead.

Installation:

1. Unpack / unzip the archive
2. Copy the entire “tantan-flickr” directory to your Wordpress plugins directory. Your wordpress plugins directory should be something like [WORDPRESS DIR]/wp-content/plugins. Upgrading Note: Just overwrite all the files inside the tantan-flickr directory. If you made edits, then make sure you make a backup just in case something goes wrong!
3. Go into your Wordpress admin, click on the “Plugins” tab, and then activate “Flickr Photo Gallery”.
4. Click on the “Options” (or “Settings”) tab, and click the “Photo Album” subtab to bring up the options screen.
5. Just follow the onscreen prompts to link your photo album to your Flickr account.
6. Once your photo album is linked to your Flickr account, enter a URL where you want your photo album to appear.
7. You’re done! To view your photo album, just go to the URL you entered in the previous step. To insert a photo, just click on the Flickr icon  in your ”Add media” bar when editing posts. Click on a photo, select a size, and a HTML snippet for that photo will appear in the post’s textarea. Cool!
   If you’re using WordPress 2.3 or older, then you should a new “Photos” tab next to your uploading tabs.

Photo Album Customization:

1. All the templates are located inside a “templates” folder inside the tantan-flickr directory.
2. If you just want to customize one particular template, just copy that template into your current theme directory
3. To completely customize the look and feel, copy all these template files (they all start with photoalbum-) into your current theme directory and modify as necessary.
4. Modify the HTML and CSS in the template files to fit your own site. All the CSS is referenced from the template file photoalbum-header.html
5. That’s it!

Popup Overlay Support:

1. Depending on your blogs theme, this may require a little bit of JavaScript / CSS mojo.
2. First you’ll want to download and install a display library into your blog. Here’s a page with a list of all the various libraries you might want to use.
3. Take a peek inside the file photoalbum-resources.php to see how to hook up the plugin with the display library. Example implementation is provided for Lightbox, Facebox, FancyZoom, and Fancybox. Here’s a quick demo of these display libraries >
