Finally got the flickr photo album integration working! checkout the Photo Albums page on the main menu!
The trick is to set the pages slug to be the same name as the folder the album was installed into – this way when you browse to the page mod_rewrite will take over and fetch the album page instead of the word press page!
The problem was that the ‘slug’ option was turned off by default, so the pages slug edit section was hidden.
At the top of the wordpress page editing there’s a little tab misleadingly labeled ‘screen options’ drop that down and turn on the post Slug section. Insert the path to your gallery folder and presto, the page redirects and correctly shows your flickr galleries.
Job done! Hope you enjoy my photos after all that!
