It doesn’t show up on the front-end of your site. * When I try to pull information directly based on your photoset id (72177720318027668) [from the API](https://www.flickr.com/services/api/explore/flickr.photosets.getPhotos), I get a “Photoset not found” error in Flickr. When I look for the photoset via your user id (81723459@N04), it doesn’t show up. * Thread Starter [netdevel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/netdevel/) * (@netdevel) * [2 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flick-return-errror-code-403/#post-17842306) * This album is private and you just could access it with the api * Plugin Author [Sayontan Sinha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sayontan/) * (@sayontan) * [2 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flick-return-errror-code-403/#post-17842315) * And you have authentication set up? A 403 error corresponds to unauthorized access, so one possibility is that somehow your tokens have been invalidated, and that you might need to redo authentication. * Can you provide me with a link to a page where you have a **non-private** album and the error is still occurring? * Thread Starter [netdevel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/netdevel/) * (@netdevel) * [2 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flick-return-errror-code-403/#post-17842473) * I’d like to point out that I haven’t made any manipulations and that the site powered by the flickr api has been working for years. * Same errors with an others new api keys/auth … * Plugin Author [Sayontan Sinha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sayontan/) * (@sayontan) * [2 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flick-return-errror-code-403/#post-17842494) * That’s fine, but do you have a page on your site without private albums? Can you provide me with a link to it? * Photonic’s code for Flickr authentication has not been modified for many years, so the issue you are facing is not triggered due to Photonic. The last release of Photonic was in early May, so if your issue started this morning, you can safely rule out Photonic. * As a 403 error is strictly issued due to problems with authentication, here is one thing you can try: ensure that you have the latest WP version, delete your Flickr authentication credentials within Photonic, and reload a page that has non-private photos/albums on it. See if that loads. If it doesn’t load, provide me with that URL as well. * If a non-private album loads without authentication, then the problem is with your site – while you might have had no Flickr changes, you might have had a change with another plugin (which impacted your site’s security configuration), or there may have been an update to your site’s configuration from your host. * Thread Starter [netdevel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/netdevel/) * (@netdevel) * [2 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flick-return-errror-code-403/#post-17842922) * Everything went back to normal last night without any intervention on my part; I had sent an e-mail to flickr to report the problem; they may have intervened, I don’t know… In any case thank you for your responsiveness Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘Flick return Errror code 403’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/photonic/assets/icon.svg?rev=1972449) * [Photonic Gallery & Lightbox for Flickr, SmugMug & Others](https://wordpress.org/plugins/photonic/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/photonic/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/photonic/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/photonic/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/photonic/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/photonic/reviews/) * 8 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [netdevel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/netdevel/) * Last activity: [2 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flick-return-errror-code-403/#post-17842922) * Status: resolved
