<li>Click “Create link” or “Get link”</li>
<li>
<p>Copy the album share link and paste it into the shortcode:</p>
<p>[jzsa-album link=”https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNxLo…”]</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Important:</strong> The album must be public (shared via link) for the plugin to access it.</p>

Shared Albums for Google Photos (by JanZeman)


I was excited to see your plugin in the new section here and downloaded it. to check it out.



It was an easy install with good instructions with easy-to-understand shortcodes.  It took a while to get the yellow and red banners away, but I learned more about the shortcode with each try.  If I may offer an opinion on some of the features, I liked the image quality and speed.  I ran through most of the shortcodes; I was hoping gallery mode meant a grid of images with pagination.  In carousel mode, I feel it would be best, if clicking on one of the 3 panel images, it took you to that particular image's full, non-cropped image.



I am not sure if any of these suggestions could be accomplished by shortcode, but I thought I would give you some feedback.  Appreciate your work!






Nice, but ...
