 * Love the idea of this plugin. The issue I’m having is as follows: On import I
   get this error:
 * > We got an unknown error back from Flickr. This is what they said.
   >  {“stat”:”
   > fail”, “code”:95, “message”:”SSL is required”}
 * Obviously their API is looking for SSL, but we’re not sending it. Is there an
   easy fix?

 * Try downloading the trunk version of the plugin, which has been updated with 
   the SSL endpoints; I just haven’t gotten around to tagging a new release.
 * You can get it here: [http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/keyring-social-importers.zip](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/keyring-social-importers.zip)

 * Nope, tried it with 1.4.1. and no dice. I get the same error code:
 * > We got an unknown error back from Flickr. This is what they said.

 * The version that has the HTTPS changes in it is not actually tagged as a version
   yet — you will need to manually download from the link provided above and upload/
   install that on your site to see if it works. I’m running that version on my 
   own site and it’s working fine currently.

 * that’s what I mean. I manually downloaded it from that link. It reported itself
   as v.1.4.1 and it didn’t work for me. Is the link right?

 * Yep, that link appears to be correct (and gives me the correct version).
 * Can you try also installing the trunk version of Keyring ([http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/keyring.zip](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/keyring.zip))
   to make sure that’s fully up to date?
 * I’ve got both of those running and they’re working fine for me.
 * It’s probably worth going to Tools > Keyring and deleting any Flickr connections
   you have, then creating a new one via that UI first (or when you go back to Tools
   > Import > Flickr it’ll ask you to create a new one anyway).
 * Hopefully with everything updated it’ll work for you as well.
