Suddenly I can not longer publish to Flickr

[Gray Drake]

I have over 1500 images published in a number of Albums in Flickr over many years.  I updated LR Classic and began to have a number of problems. First new Albums were created in Flickr without any specific action to do so.  This still may be an issue.  There was a suggestion to make sure my LR Classic was up to date and I updated.  Now when I attempt to publish, LR says Flickr Authentication Failed.   I want to avoid losing the organization I have estabished with all my images and albums, and I have not "played around" seeking a solution.  Is there a straight forward correction, which would re establish the authentication from the 12 or so Flickr Albums currently created in LR?  Thanks for any support.

There have been no responses to this inquiry.  Is there a way I can get it in front of the community?

I cannot get Lightroom Classic to publish new photos to either Flickr or Smugmug. This leads me to believe this is an Adobe issue.

Normally, it is a Flickr issue (I can't speak about Smugmug) — but since Smugmug owns Flickr, perhaps their servers/web site are having problems. Wait a few hours and try again.

I just added a photo to a Smugmug published collection, and when I clicked Publish, it uploaded successfully.

Maybe there were network issues, or the plug-in needs to be updated in File > Plug-in Manager?
