Plugin Description

This WordPress plugin allows you to choose a photo from Flickr’s collection of
Creative Commons licensed photos, crop it, and use it as the header for your
WordPress site. You must setup your own Flickr API key to use it.

This plugin is still in development, and has only been tested with the
TwentyEleven theme. There are several features that are not implemented,
including deactivating a Flickr header. As it is my first wordpress plugin, I
expect it will break for some people. If it does, please create an issue
ticket in the GitHub repository, where this project is maintained:

https://github.com/ownlocal/flickr-header

Or even better – submit a pull request! 😉

Usage

To use the plugin, you must have a flickr API key. Sign up for one at:
http://www.flickr.com/services/apps/create/apply

You must decide whether you will be using the plugin for commercial or
non-commercial putposes, and choose the corresponding API key.

Once your template is updated and you have your API key:

1. Enter your API key

Option A) Regular WordPress Installation

From your site’s Dashboard, go to “Appearance > Flickr Header”, enter your API key and click “Update API key”.

Option B) Multisite Installation

From the Network Dashboard, click “Settings > Flickr Header”, enter your API key and hit “Update Key”

2. Select an image

  1. Go to “Appearance > Flickr Header” from your site’s dashboard
  2. Type a term in the search box to search for an image
  3. Click on an image to select it and hit “Save Changes”
  4. Adjust the crop box to your hearts desire, and hit “Update Crop”
  5. Load your site, and behold the beauty… or else, submit a bug report 😉
