Here’s how to add the Flickr Gallery widget to your page:

1. Go to Widgets > Media.

2. Drag and drop the Flickr Gallery Widget onto your page.

4. In the Search Phrase field, enter the tags of the photos you want to pull from Flickr (make sure you have added tags to your Flickr photos or you will not get the desired result).
