 * Hi,
 * I can’t authorize the API and secret code with a Authentication Token. When I
   click at Done authenticating at Flickr (after doing that) nothing happens.
 * Thanks in advance

 * You have to come back to the Flickr Gallery settings page to finish that.

 * Nothing happens when I click at “Done authenticating at Flickr”. When I refresh/
   reopen the settings page it shows the “generate” link again.

 * reinvl, I had this same problem and had to find a work around myself.
 *  Please give my work around a shot and see if it works for you.

 * For anyone still having problems, version 1.3 of the plugin should have a much
   better process for authenticating. Hopefully I can get to that soon.

 * I’m using plugin v1.3 and WP v2.9.2 and I had this working once on a test site
   and every time I’ve tried since I get the same as everyone else is getting. Wish
   I’d made a note of the first working auth token now.
 * The only thing that is the same is the Flickr account, I’ve tried a totally clean
   build of WP with only this plugin and still no auth token. I’ve deleted the apps
   and permissions created on my Flickr account now more time than I can remember
   and I still can’t get it working. Maybe I could try a brand new Flickr account
   to test…?
 * Dan, I loved what I saw when it worked that one time on a test site – it’s exactly
   what I need. I for one would buy you a beer if you can resolve this, and I reckon
   a lot of other people would too…

 * Just tried a brand new Flickr account, API key and secret. The same thing happens–
   the “Done Authenticating at Flickr” link doesn’t work but when opened in a new
   window this is the message:
 * > “An external application has requested your login credentials and permission
   > to perform certain actions on your behalf, but has failed to include all the
   > required data.
   > You don’t really need to know what this means, except that you can’t use the
   > application until this problem is fixed. (It’s a third-party problem, not a
   > Flickr problem.)
   > There are lots of applications using the Flickr API. If you are curious about
   > this, visit the Flickr Services page to see more examples of cool stuff. Otherwise,
   > you might like to head to your home page…”
 * Any help appreciated!
