<p>Plugin provides several shorttags for displaying image galleries and single images attached to post as attachments. It also allows to group post attachments into several sets that can be used to generate galleries for subset of all attached images. I wrote this plugin since I wasn’t satisfied with standard [gallery] shorttag – I had to do many workarounds and hacks to have it working according my needs. Shutter reloaded is integrated, but plugin can be used without it (with lightbox etc.).</p>

<p>A simple, no-frills solution to display a Google Photos album on your site using a widget or a shortcode. There is only one layout option: grid. There is only one required attribute: album url. That’s it, that easy. <a href="https://josheli.com/knob/2017/11/21/simple-google-photos-a-wordpress-plugin/" rel="nofollow ugc">See a demo and read more about the plugin</a>. The code is also <a href="https://github.com/datvance/simple-google-photos-grid" rel="nofollow ugc">available on Github</a>.</p>
<h3>Notes</h3>
<p>Your album on Google Photos must be “public”, which means you need to go into Google Photos on the web and set “Sharing options” to on, i.e. “Anyone with the link can see these photos and the people who’ve been invited or joined.”</p>
<p>Requires curl or similar to fetch the photo urls.</p>
<p>No support is provided. Probably no features will be added. You are free to ask, or to fork. Pull requests accepted.</p>
<h3>Widget</h3>
<p>Go to Appearance -> Widgets and a new widget named Simple Google Photos Grid should be available to use. Drag to your desired widget area and configure.</p>
<ul>
<li>Title: Heading of the widget on your site. Default to empty.</li>
<li>Album URL: The full URL to your public gallery on Google Photos. URL must use one of the following domains: ‘photos.app.goo.gl’ or ‘photos.google.com’. Ideally should be the short, “shared” link (such as https://photos.app.goo.gl/G8EOLs5YtESchh4g1z).</li>
<li>Num Photos to Show: Even numbers probably work best. There’s a maximum number, not sure what it is, but it’s pretty low.</li>
<li>Num Photos per Row: How many photos to show per row? Probably some number that works well with Num Photos.</li>
<li>Cache Interval (in minutes): How long to cache photo URLs before checking the album on Google again. 0 for no cache.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Shortcode</h3>
<p>Place the shortcode in a post, page or theme.<br />
    [simple_google_photos_grid album-url=”https://photos.app.goo.gl/G8EOLs5YtESchh4g1″]</p>
<p>Available attributes are:<br />
– album-url: (required) the url to a public Google Photos album, domain must be one of ‘photos.app.goo.gl’ or ‘photos.google.com’<br />
– number-photos: (optional) number of photos to display, defaults to 4<br />
– number-photos-per-row: (optional) number of photos per row, defaults to 2<br />
– cache-interval: (optional) length, in minutes, to cache the photo urls retrieved from Google, defaults to 15</p>
<pre><code>[simple_google_photos_grid album-url="https://photos.app.goo.gl/G8EOLs5YtESchh4g1" number-photos="6" number-photos-per-row="3" cache-interval="120"]
</code></pre>


Simple Google Photos Grid


I am not sure why this plugin has not gotten more attention. I have searched for a similar plug that would take third-party images (Google Photos) and create a gallery.  Few offer it and those that do, are quite proud of their plugin ($$$).   Yes, the gallery isn't great and I wish it would open the images in a lightbox, but I am extremely please with the plugin. My server is getting approching capacity and this plugin keeps a gazillion photos off of it. Thanks for the plugin. I sure wish you'd consider updating it!
