Lightroom Classic: Flickr Plugin is Dead
Since Flickr migrated from Yahoo to AWS, the Flickr Plugin refuses to generate the required Flickr Account Authorisation page to allow a connection.
Click on Authorise on the Plugin interface, and I get a dialogue box which says "Lightroom needs to configure your system to allow for authentication with Flickr. Please restart Lightroom after allowing these changes to be performed. If you envounter this message again upon re-start, re-installing Lightroom should address the problem"
What I would expect next would have been a Flickr page requesting permissions / authentication. Sadly, this page is not produced.
Again, I've reported this to Flickr. Flickr point the finger at the Adobe plugin as being the culprit, as the plugin is what's responsible for connecting to Flickr. If Flickr don't receive the authorisation request, they say, they can't be responsible for the communication breakdown.

Could you please provide us a screenshot of the same? Is it Lightroom Classic that displays the message?
Thanks,
Sunil

Firstly, it's Lightroom Classic 8.1 that I have.
OK, let's see if I can do this step by step.
First, on Flickr, I've removed the permissions for Lightroom to connect, so it's expecting a "fresh start".
Next, on the Adobe Flickr plugin, I've revoked the account authorisation.
Next I click on the Authorise button and I get this...
I've pushed the dialogue box over to the side slightly so that you can see that the plugin is trying to authorise. Anyway, clicking on the dialogue box's OK button, no doubt SHOULD result in the Flickr authorisation page popping up, but in fact it just produces nothing.
As I mentioned, I've installed the JF Flickr plugin, which went through a similar authorisation procedure without a hitch. So the theory that a pop-up blocker was getting in the way was put to rest too.
So there you have it...I'm stuck, either looking for a quick fix for this plugin, or the (very) slow fix of migrating all my Flick albums over to the JF Plugin.
Obviously a solution to this problem would be much appreciated so that I can get on with my new photos and not have to spend time administering to my old ones.
Thanks again
Martin
