# Flickr No Items Found

 * I’m trying to set up Photonic for the first time and I keep getting a “No Items
   Found” message when trying to add Flickr photos. I’ve set my API key. It doesn’t
   seem to matter what sort of Flickr gallery I try to create: single image, tags,
   photoset, I get the same result.
 * Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

 * Can you post an example of the shortcode you are using?

 * Here’s an example of the shortcode being generated.
 * [gallery type='flickr' user_id='vfhwebdev' view='photo' photo_id='16318348089'
   tag_mode='any' sort='date-posted-desc' ]

 * I don’t believe that is the right user_id. I think it should be ‘16092491@N00’

 * Thanks! I tried looking that up using the Photonic ‘helper’ but it couldn’t find
   me. Where did you find that?
 * We’re getting there.
 * I still get “No Items Found” in the WP editor, but now at least the thumbnails
   show up on the post.
 * However, I only see linked thumbnails. There’s no slideshow visible.

 * I directly queried the Flickr API from their website and got this information.
   It looks like Flickr changed something on their API which causes the helper to
   not work. I will fix it in the next release.
 * You shouldn’t see a slideshow when you use the plugin for non-WordPress images.
   The way the plugin is written, if you click on a thumbnail it will open a lightbox,
   and you can set that up to run as a slideshow. You cannot get an “in page” slideshow
   with Flickr.

 * I see. Thanks. Not quite what I expected but still very useful.

 * The helper issue should be fixed now, with release 1.47.
