   When linking into wordpress from flickr, flickr returns an invalid username or password fail.
   Wordpress needs to have "remote publishing by xml-rpc" enabled on the dashboard/settings/write page before trying to make an incoming link! This is disabled by default, and not mentioned at the flickr end...

   When I post from flicker I only see the plain code posted with tags etc. No normal picture :/

   After many weeks of searching I found a solution that works for me. I found this plug in that fixes the issue:

   Turns out that WordPress and libxml2 aren’t playing well together: the blame seems to be on libxml2
