I’d like to activate the Flickr widget. Instructions inside the widget report:
To find your Flickr RSS URL, go to your photostream, add ‘?details=1’ to the URL, and hit enter. Scroll down until you see the RSS icon or the ‘Latest’ link. Right-click on either options and copy the URL. Paste into the box above.

Though, when I add the above syntax to my photostream url, I reach an error msg page. Is there any other way to get my Flickr RSS URL? Thanks.

Hi!

Can you share what error message you see in particular?

Also, if you are open to sharing that Flickr photostream URL, I can generate the RSS URL for you. If you are not okay with sharing that link for security concerns, I would understand.

Let me know and I help further.

Hi @domus65,

Just to confirm, have you followed the steps listed in the below document regarding configuring Flickr widget? It doesn’t specify to add any code to the photostream URL.

Thank you.

iamrishaan, just for your information, it says “Flickr RSS URL: To find your Flickr RSS feed, go to your Photostream and click on More → Edit. Scroll down to the bottom of the page until you see the RSS icon or the Latest link. Right-click on either and copy the URL. Paste it into the RSS box in the widget.” on that page. https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/flickr-widget/#configuring-widget

@domus65,

To find your Flickr RSS URL, go to your photostream, add ‘?details=1’ to the URL, and hit enter. Scroll down until you see the RSS icon or the ‘Latest’ link. Right-click on either options and copy the URL. Paste into the box above.

Can you please confirm if you follow the steps listed in below document you are still requested to add ‘?details=1’.

Could you please provide a link to your Flickr photostream so I can take a look?

Hi everybody,

Thanks!

Adding the specified ?details=1 query string to your photostream URL gives this:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/126270448@N07/?details=1

which redirects to

https://www.flickr.com/photos_user.gne?path=&nsid=126270448%40N07&page=&details=1

If you scroll down that page you’ll see this at the bottom:

From there you have several RSS feed options to choose from.

Let me know how it goes.
