 * I just got a mail from Flickr saying the API will be be only accessible via HTTPS
   from the 27th of june. Will the plugin be updated before that date?
 * New API keys will be issued for HTTPS access only: as of 6 May 2014

 * I tried this today and it worked perfectly – replacing all **http://** calls 
   with **https://** in **phpFlickr.php**, and editing the lines that **gflaig**
   noted:
 * >  26, 27, 28 for direct references to [http://api.flickr.com/](http://api.flickr.com/)..
   > 
   > and 205 for a programmatically created request and 361 , 363 for [http://farm&#8230](http://farm&#8230);
   > as well as 604 for [http://www.flickr](http://www.flickr).
 * Thanks to all for helping to get this fixed.

 * Did anyone else’s lightboxes break after making this change?
 * Editing the **phpFlickr.php** on [my site](http://www.nativenoise.co.za/2011/01/travel-scenic-photography/)
   and swapping http:// for https:// made the thumbnails show but clicking on them
   no longer opens the lightbox.

 * Hi all,
 * I’ve had success fixing this plugin using the advice from above. Here are my 
   steps:
    1. Edit `flickr-gallery.php`, replacing `http` with `https` where applicable.
   The final code is on [this Pastebin](http://pastebin.com/yvhMkuV1). 2. Edit `
   phpFlickr.php`, replacing `http` with `https` where applicable. The final code
   is on [this Pastebin](http://pastebin.com/xXejHEAy). 3. Deactivate the plugin
   from the dashboard. 4. Reactivate the plugin from the dashboard.
 * I did not have to reset my Flickr API key or anything like that. Hope this helps!
