This example demonstrates that it is important to ensure that you set the orientation if you have a gallery of portrait thumbnails and you have chosen not to use the default thumbnail size which is 75px ‘square’
Normal Square Thumbnails
This renders well.
[code]slickr-flickr type="gallery" photos_per_row="6" tag="Roma Portrait"[/code]
Large Thumbnails Landscape
With larger scaled thumbnails there is by default a lot of white space around each thumbnail.
[code]slickr-flickr type="gallery" photos_per_row="3" tag="Roma Portrait" thumbnail_size="small" thumbnail_scale="60"[/code]
Portrait Thumbnails Portrait
If you tell Slickr Flickr that the thumbnails are portrait then the format is improved.
[code]slickr-flickr type="gallery" photos_per_row="4" tag="Roma Portrait" orientation="portrait" thumbnail_size="small" thumbnail_scale="60"[/code]

Hi Anthony, what is your Flickr ID and exactly what slickr-flickr command were you using? Were you using type=galleria?
Antony Caldaroni says
Hi there!
I love the plugin but I’m having some difficulties trying to get the thumbnail images to appear below the slideshow. Any thoughts as to what it is I’m doing incorrectly?
Thank you so much for your help!

Russel –
Thank you very much. Got it to function properly !
Russell says
Hi Pat, ideally you should just use [slickr-flickr items="5" type="gallery"] – Slickr Flickr will put as many photos in as there is space for, and this will be 2 for your sidebar, once your inhibit the WordPress theme from affecting the appearance of the gallery.
Russell says
Hi Pat,
Your WordPress theme is forcing there to be a single photo per row.
It is overriding the Slickr Flickr settings, adding padding and margins and borders
#sidebar_right .widget ul li, #sidebar_left .widget ul li { display:inline; }
#sidebar_right .widget ul li a, #sidebar_left .widget ul li a { padding: 2px 6px 2px 6px; margin: 5px 0px 0px 0px; border-left: 3px solid
whiteSmoke; }
You can override these theme settings just for Slickr Flickr Galleries by adding the following lines to your style.css file
#sidebar_right .widget .slickr-flickr-gallery ul li, #sidebar_left .widget .slickr-flickr-gallery ul li { display:inline-block; }
#sidebar_right .widget .slickr-flickr-gallery ul li a, #sidebar_left .widget .slickr-flickr-gallery ul li a,
#sidebar_right .widget .slickr-flickr-gallery ul li a:hover, #sidebar_left .widget .slickr-flickr-gallery ul li a:hover
{ padding: 0; margin: 0; border-left: none; }
Pat says
[slickr-flickr items="5" type="gallery" photos_per_row="2"]
Using the code above.

Hello –
I’m trying to use the plugin here to make a dual column flickr feed in the home page sidebar, I can’t not the life of me figure out how to display 2 columns rather than 1.
