  2. Click the pencil icon to open block settings
  3. Under Account tab, connect your Flickr account
  4. Set number of images (up to 20) using the Items slider
  5. Use Design tab to choose layout:
    • Slideshow
    • Carousel
    • Grid
    • Stacked

Enabling Auto-Sync:

  1. Go to Connected Accounts
  2. Select your Flickr account
  3. Check "Download Data"
  4. Click Save

Troubleshooting Missing Images:

  1. In Flickr Settings > Privacy & Permissions
  2. Under Global Settings
  3. Set "Largest shared image size" to:
    • Best display size OR

  4. Disconnect and reconnect your Flickr account

Fix Duplicate Images:

  1. Open Connected Accounts
  2. Select Flickr account
