 * Flickr API is returning this error when trying to search for images using the
   Compfight plugin:
    `The Flickr API returned the following error: #95 - SSL is
   required`

 * has same error.
    solution: Compfight was stuck at v1.31. It’s not notifying that
   there’s a newer version. 1. deactivate compfight 2. delete it 3. add new plugin,
   search for compfight again, install
 * you’ll be updated to v1.5 which works
