    Hi there.
    Did not find anything related to my questions .

    Question 1:
    Is there a WP plugin that will link to a small image
    on Flickr (square 75/150px) as a featured image in a post or page?

    Question 2:
    Is there a WP plugin that will embed a Flickr photo
    and not link to the photo on Flickr on index, but only in single post?

    Question 3:
    This is a blog with affiliate links that I guess makes it commercial?

    1. Not that I know of. If you don’t find one, you may need to hire someone to make one for you. For that, we recommend https://jobs.wordpress.net/ and do not accept any hire or direct access offers posted to these forums.

    2. No plugin necessary, WordPress has a Flickr block already built into the editor: https://gogutenberg.com/blocks/embeds/

    3. Whether or not a site is personal or commercial, and this inline with a services terms of use, is a legal matter. We cannot offer legal advice here, so instead I recommend contacting Flickr’s support: https://help.flickr.com/

    If you are using Gutenberg you can go the embed blocks and there is a block to embed Flickr images. Just copy the URL from Flickr into the box. I tried it and it seems to work.

    You want to check out the rights before publishing them. I publish images on Flickr that are free to use commercially. Another way to find images is to google and change the search to images then under the tools select usage rights then select free for reuse and modifications. You will find tons of images just visit the site and look at the usage rights.

    There’s an excellent resource list for free images over at WordPress.com too: https://en.support.wordpress.com/add-media/finding-free-images-and-other-media/
