The Flickr block integrates your Flickr photos directly into your website, automatically displaying your latest images without manual updates.

Key Requirements:

  2. Click the pencil icon to edit
  3. Connect your Flickr account under the [Account] tab
  4. Set number of items (1-20) using the slider
  5. Customize layout in [Design] tab (slideshow, carousel, grid, or stack)

Enabling Auto-Sync:

  1. Open [Connected Accounts]
  2. Select your Flickr account
  3. Check [Download Data]
  4. Save changes

Troubleshooting Tips:

Missing Images:

  1. Go to Flickr Settings > Privacy & Permissions
  2. Set "Largest shared image size" to Best display size
  3. Reconnect your account if needed

Incorrect/Duplicate Images:
