    I installed the “FlickR Tag” Plugin and followed the installation steps like the doku said;
    Whenever I try to configure the plugin now via “Options > FlickR Tag” in the backend it gives me an error:
    “Error! Our authentication token is either not set or was rejected by Flickr.”

    Does someone have had a similar problem? I tried it with a WordPress version 2.1.1 as well (it is the version the author testet the plugin with according to the readme.txt) but no change, same error.
    Applying for my own flickr API key and changing the key(s) didnt help neither…

    Any help appreciated! thx!

    solved the issue: I had to enable the libcurl php extension (in php.ini of the webserver) and this extension was not enabled on any of the servers I used for testing.

    I have the same problem.

    Where do I finde the libcurl php extension?

    ah, thought I was the only one 🙂
    in your apache installation (on your webserver, if not the localhost for testing) you have to find your php.ini file, in my case it is in apache/bin/php.ini
    In this php file there should be a line
    extension=php_curl.dll
    and if there is a semicolon before it, delete this semicolon. this should enable the extension; if php was compiled _without_ the extension at all, guess it is much more complicated cause you would have to compile php again…

    hmm, what if you can´t change the php.ini file?

    I guess then it will be difficult to solve the problem; I contacted the author of the plugin and he said he implemented kind of a fallback mechanism for servers without the libcurl but i fear there might be a bug (at least it didnt work for me without libcurl).

    I gave this a try, and got the same message. However, when I looked at it a few days later, it was able to authenticate to Flickr. Might have been a temporary issue with Flickr…

    I have still the same problem. I can’t change the php.ini file. What to do?

    do you get an error message? or nothing? did you contact the author?

    Hello,

    Nearly 99% of the time, this issue is the absence of libcurl or the absence of URL fopen wrappers. You’ll need to contact your ISP for this one… sorry.
