# Shortcode Question about using a Plugin

 * I am using a plugin that brings images from my flickr account into my WP site
   in a masonry-like format. Specifically, I want to bring in just my images from
   a particular set. That’s easy with this plugin with this shortcode:
 *     ```
       [flickr_set id="72157626926458136"]
       ```
   
 * The instructions that come with the plugin (Flickr Justified Gallery) show that
   it’s also able to either bring in or exclude images with particular tags. The
   shortcode listed for that is:
 *     ```
       [flickr_tags user_id="67681714@N03" tags="cat, square, nikon"]
       ```
   
 * The instructions say you can exclude any images with a particular tag by placing
   a “-” before the tag (i.e. -landscape).
 * What I want to do is to import images from a particular set but exclude all images
   that have a particular tag **within the set** (not my whole photostream).
 * Using both shortcodes doesn’t work. Because the flickr_tag syntax uses user id,
   when I use both, it will first display all the images in my set, then it will
   display underneath all the images in my whole photostream except the images tagged
   with “landscape.”
 * **My question: is there a way to exclude the images tagged “landscape” just from
   my set and not my whole photostream?**
 * I’ve played around with the code for the plugin itself but to no avail. Here’s
   the code that I think is responsible for the returns. And I don’t know enough
   to be able to rewrite this to do what I want it to do. Is it possible? Here’s
   the code I think is the area I need to work on:
 *     ```
       //[flickr_photostream user_id="..." ...]
       function fjgwpp_flickr_photostream($atts, $content = null) {
       	return fjgwpp_createGallery('phs', $atts);
       }
       add_shortcode('flickr_photostream', 'fjgwpp_flickr_photostream');
       add_shortcode('flickrps', 'fjgwpp_flickr_photostream'); //legacy tag
   
       //[flickr_set id="..." ...]
       function fjgwpp_flickr_set($atts, $content = null) {
       	return fjgwpp_createGallery('set', $atts);
       }
       add_shortcode('flickr_set', 'fjgwpp_flickr_set');
   
       //[flickr_gallery user_id="..." id="..." ...]
       function fjgwpp_flickr_gallery($atts, $content = null) {
       	return fjgwpp_createGallery('gal', $atts);
       }
       add_shortcode('flickr_gallery', 'fjgwpp_flickr_gallery');
   
       //[flickr_tags user_id="..." tags="..." tags_mode="any/all" ...]
       function fjgwpp_flickr_tags($atts, $content = null) {
       	return fjgwpp_createGallery('tag', $atts);
       }
       add_shortcode('flickr_tags', 'fjgwpp_flickr_tags');
   
       //[flickr_group id="..."]
       function fjgwpp_flickr_group($atts, $content = null) {
       	return fjgwpp_createGallery('grp', $atts);
       }
       add_shortcode('flickr_group', 'fjgwpp_flickr_group');
   
       //Options
       include("flickr-justified-gallery-settings.php");
   
       ?>
       ```
   
 * I am not a coder but I can understand the variables and the syntax of code fairly
   well. If I need to show you the entire code for this plugin, let me know. Thanks
   for your help.

 * just a suggestion
    I had a similar problem with chimp than i discovered an error
   in my request to chimp.
 * before going crazy you should to verify if flickr api supports your type of request
   
   if it does than you can try to modify the call of plugin may be flickr doesn’t
   supports it.
