<p>Flickr Shortcode Importer imports [flickr], [flickrset], [flickr-gallery] shortcode and Flickr-sourced A/IMG tagged media into the Media Library. Furthermore, it transforms the post content [flickr] shortcodes into links containing the Media Library based image of the proper size and alignment.</p>
<p>Import can be run directly from edit page and post screens.</p>
<p>The first [flickr] image found in post content is set as the post’s Featured Image and removed from the post content. The remaining [flickr] shortcodes are then transformed as image links to their attachment page.</p>
<p>[flickrset] and [flickr-gallery] shortcodes are converted to [ gallery] after the Flickr set images have been added to the Media Library. If ‘Set Featured Image’ is checked in Options, then the first image of the [flickrset] is used as such.</p>
<p>Flickr-sourced A/IMG tagged media is converted into [flickr] and then imported as normal. Great for finally bringing into your control all of those media items you’ve been using, but now Flickr is giving you ‘Image is unavailable’ for. A/IMG tag is processed before IMG to prevent unexpected results.</p>
<p>Image attribution links can be added if enabled via Settings.</p>
<p>This plugin is handy for transitioning from plugin <code>wordpress-flickr-manager</code> and <code>flickr-gallery</code> to your own Media Library because you have CDN services or want to move off of third party software.</p>
<p>There is no restore functionality. Backup beforehand or be prepared to revert every transformed post by hand via the post revision tool.</p>

</ul>
<h4>Settings Options</h4>
<p><strong>Import Settings</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Skip Importing Videos – Importing videos from Flickr often fails. Shortcode is still converted to object/embed linking to Flickr.</li>
<li>Import Flickr-sourced A/IMG tags – Converts Flickr-sourced A/IMG tags to [flickr] and then proceeds with import.</li>
<li>Set Featured Image – Set the first [flickr] or [flickrset] image found as the Featured Image. Will not replace the current Featured Image of a post.</li>
<li>Force Set Featured Image – Set the Featured Image even if one already exists for a post.</li>
<li>Remove First Flickr Shortcode – Removes the first [flickr] from post content. If you use Featured Images as header or lead images, then this might prevent duplicate images in your post.</li>
<li>Make Nice Image Title? – Try to make a nice title if none is set. For Flickr set images, Flickr set title plus a numeric suffix is applied.</li>
<li>Replace Filename with Image Title? – Mainly for SEO purposes. This setting replaces the imported media filename with the media’s title. For non-images, this is always done.</li>
<li>Image Import Size – Size of image to import into media library from Flickr. If requested size doesn’t exist, then original is imported because it’s the closest to the requested import size.</li>
<li>Default Image Alignment – Default alignment of image displayed in post when no alignment is found.</li>
<li>Default Image Size – Default size of image displayed in post when no size is found.</li>
<li>Default A Tag Class – Inserts a class into links around imported images. Useful for lightbox’ing.</li>
<li>Link Image to Attachment Page? – If set, post single view images are linked to attachment pages. Otherwise the image links to its source file.</li>
<li>Image Wrap Class – If set, a span tag is wrapped around the image with the given class. Also wraps attribution if enabled. e.g. Providing <code>flickr-image</code> results in <code>&lt;span class="flickr-image"&gt;|&lt;/span&gt;</code></li>
<li>Set Captions – Uses media title as the caption.</li>
<li>Set Descriptions – Include Flickr descriptions in media information.</li>
<li>Include Flickr Author Attribution? – Appends Flickr username, linked back to Flickr image to the imported Flickr image.</li>
<li>Flickr Author Attribution Text</li>
<li>Flickr Author Attribution Wrap Class – If set, a span tag is wrapped around the attribution with the given class. e.g. Providing <code>flickr-attribution</code> results in <code>&lt;span class="flickr-attribution"&gt;|&lt;/span&gt;</code></li>
<li>Add Flickr Link in Description? – Like <code>Include Flickr Author Attribution</code> but appends the image description.</li>
<li>Flickr Link Text</li>
<li>Add Image License to Description? – Append image license and link to image description.</li>
<li>Flickr Image License Text</li>

<h3>Notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Backup your database before importing. You can use revision to revert individual posts, but doing so in mass is a major PITA.</li>
<li>During my own imports, a post with one [flickr] entry could take a minute. Then posts with many [flickr] entries, several Flickr-source’d A/IMG tags and [flickset] with 30 or so photos took over 10-minutes to import.</li>
<li>During import, it might look like nothing is happening. The progress bar only moves after each import succeeds or fails.</li>
<li>I recommend setting the limit in options to 1 and then testing your installation. That sure makes for easier recovery in case something goes wrong. If something doesn’t work, report it, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/flickr-shortcode-importer/.</li>
<li>It’s strongly recommended to deactivate plugins like WordSocial, WP Smush.it and similar to prevent extended import times. You can always enable them and run them enmasse later.</li>
<li>Make sure you have enough disk space. Figure on about 1 GB per 1,000 photos given your using Scissors-continued and have a maximum image size of 1280 x 1024. If your images can be larger, then you’ll probably need 1 GB per 250 photos imported.</li>
<li>Using your own Flickr API Key might be necessary. Test a single import and see the results before setting your own.</li>
