In this tutorial, we’ll cover two ways of adding a flickr image into your WordPress posts or pages.
1. Step One: Log into Flickr
2. Step Two: Click on Share
When you click on Share – > More share options, get the BBcode – and it will look something like this:
[url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/27186552@N08/3991626682/][img]http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2592/3991626682_d372402407.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/27186552@N08/3991626682/]blue rose[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/27186552@N08/]o2cathy[/url], on Flickr
3. Step Three: Paste into Post
You have two options. If you want to place the image (as is), you can use the regular flickr link:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/27186552@N08/3991626682/Paste this link into the visual editor where you want the image to show up.
If you’d like to use the image with the built-in WordPress capabilities – to align it in the text, add borders, titles, and captions, then you need the actual image – not the flickr link. The image link is the one that ends in …..jpg.
Like this: http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2592/3991626682_d372402407.jpg
Because this is an actual IMAGE link, you can use the “add an image” button in your post editor, found here:
And click on the “From URL” tab here:
Add your URL, a title (for good SEO), alternate text – for voice browsers, a caption (optional), alignment, and a link. Then click Insert into Post.
