    Hi,

    I've been trying to authenticate but always get the error on the flickr page "Oops! The API key or signature is invalid. ".

    I've used WP2.7 & WFM 2.2 and today tried WP2.7.1 and WFM2.3
    Had a flickr api key set up for another plugin but that one is now expired.

    Thanks

    Workaround:

    You can get your own flickr API key, and your plugin should resume working. There are a couple of steps you will need to do.

    First, apply for an API key here:

    www.flickr.com/services/api/key.gne

    Once you have your key, click the configuration link to view the details for your new key.

    - Enter your blog's title and a short description.
    - Change the authentication type to Desktop Application
    - Save

    second, open up the file FlickrCore.php. This is in plugins/wordpress-flickr-manager/ directory

    - Edit the var $api_key = "...", var $secret = "..." lines and change it to your own API key, and shared secret.
    - save the file

    third, go back to your plugin's option page and relink your blog to flickr account.

    that should be it.

    I'll see if I can do something to work around this for the next release, but this should be at least a quick fix for now.

    I've spent a lot time trying to get this plugin to work. Is there no way to get it to authenticate with my Flickr account?

    Same issue for me, re-installed php, fresh install of the plugin, fresh install of wordpress. Changed configuration appropriately, triple varified in the same slow tedious manner. Have an API key blog url name and description are there entered the key and secret key into the FlickrCore.php file. When i go to settings > Flickr > and click Finish it just takes me right back to my general settings page. I am running on IIS7, although this shouldn't make a difference, as I have previously had this plugin functioning.
