Flickr can’t find a valid callback URL. * I put the api and secret key in twice, but it doesn’t work. * Ideas? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/awesome-flickr-gallery-plugin/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/awesome-flickr-gallery-plugin/) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * [eraely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eraely/) * (@eraely) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/callback-url-error/#post-4572525) * I’m getting the same error. New API – checked it several times.

Thanks so much! * BTW, the user id is NOT the same as your flickr login id… Found that out the hard way as well. * Thread Starter [interfool](https://wordpress.org/support/users/interfool/) * (@interfool) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/callback-url-error/#post-4572530) * Sorry, ERAELY, not earely.

Pretty please. * [steviekillick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/steviekillick/) * (@steviekillick) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/callback-url-error/#post-4572551) * To go back to my problem above, when I grant access, when in the WordPress – Plug ins – Flickr Gallery Settings, it takes me to my flickr page, so must be a fault in Flickr, I think. Trying, very… * Thread Starter [interfool](https://wordpress.org/support/users/interfool/) * (@interfool) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/callback-url-error/#post-4572552) * Stevie, You need to go into flickr API admin page (your app garden) and fill in the callback url field with your website admin link: * I.e. [http://www.mywebsite.com/wp-admin](http://www.mywebsite.com/wp-admin) * New apis default to Web Application, so I don’t think you have to worry about that one. * The other gotcha I found is the id is NOT your flickr login id, it’s the app id flickr generates for you. It’s a fairly long number. * Hope this helps. * [sgruthie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sgruthie/) * (@sgruthie) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/callback-url-error/#post-4572615) * I’m trying to set up this plug-in, but I’m getting the same problems with not getting the valid callback URL. I set up an app in Flickr expressly for using this plug-in, so I have the correct API Key and Secret. I also have put the correct callback URL in the proper place in the Flickr app authentication flow. So the problem must be with the Flickr User ID. * It is not my Flickr screen name, or the email address I use to log in to Yahoo/ Flickr. I cannot find the “fairly long number” mentioned above, though I have a vague recollection of one. Any ideas? * [sgruthie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sgruthie/) * (@sgruthie) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/callback-url-error/#post-4572616) * Also, of course, I just updated to 3.9. This is all in my sandbox site, before I take it to the rest of my sites. * [sgruthie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sgruthie/) * (@sgruthie) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/callback-url-error/#post-4572617) * Duh, posting in a resolved topic.
