# Callback URL error, new thread

 * I’m trying to set up this plug-in, but I’m getting the same problems referenced
   in an earlier thread with not getting the valid callback URL. I set up an app
   in Flickr expressly for using this plug-in, so I have the correct API Key and
   Secret. I also have put the correct callback URL in the proper place in the Flickr
   app authentication flow. So the problem must be with the Flickr User ID.
 * It is not my Flickr screen name, or the email address I use to log in to Yahoo/
   Flickr. I cannot find the “fairly long number” mentioned in the earlier thread,
   though I have a vague recollection of one. Any ideas?

 * I may be able to solve your problem sguthrie but not my own. I am having the 
   same problem with not being able to grant access. My api key and secret are definitely
   correct, checked multiple times. My flickr ID is correct I believe since I used
   idgettr and have used that result elsewhere. When I click grant access, I get
   a 404 not found. The url it is attempting to find is [http://mysite.com/wp/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=afg_gallery_auth](http://mysite.com/wp/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=afg_gallery_auth).
   Any ideas or help please?
 *  sguthrie: In your AFG Settings, beside the Flickr user ID, it says to get it
   from here where “here” is a link to idgettr. Open that page and in the box paste
   the url from your flickr photostream main page. You should be entering something
   that looks like [https://www.flickr.com/photos/yourname/](https://www.flickr.com/photos/yourname/)
   Hope that helps you at least. 🙂

 * Thanks, Quadrophenia for the step-by-step to getting the ID. Assumptions, man,
   they’ll get you every time. Now all I have to do is figure out the settings. 
   Good luck with yours!

 * This may be completely not useful. But just in case…
 * In Flickr, under Edit Authentication Flow, the callback URL I’m using looks like`
   http://mysite/wp-admin/`.

 * Geesh, talk about feeling dumb. I went back yet again thinking I’ll try deleting
   the ending slash just to see if it made a difference and there was a damn space
   after the slash. Removed the space and the grant access worked perfectly. Sorry
   for my error! And thank you for the great plugin!!

 * Thanks sguthrie for the thought. Yep, my original setup had wordpress nested 
   one level deeper than I should have done. My link is actually correct for me.
   I was afraid that could be my problem so I am relieved it was much simpler! 🙂

 * Huzzah for both of us! And the plugin looks great.
