#### Free Features

**Import & Connection**
 – Import photos **and** videos directly from Google Photos
using the official Google Photos Picker. – Imported media is saved to your WordPress
Media Library. – Self-hosted OAuth — your own Google credentials stay on your server
and are never sent to us. – Authorization sidebar with field validation, loading
state, and connect/disconnect. – Media Type filter — show All Media, Photos only,
or Videos only.

**Layouts**
 – Grid layout (fully responsive). – Masonry layout (Pinterest style—
each image keeps its own ratio). – Carousel / Slider with autoplay, loop, navigation
arrows, and pagination dots. – Memories / Stories layout — Google Photos–style round
story bubbles. – Responsive columns — separate column counts for desktop, tablet,
and mobile. – Adjustable column gap and row gap. – Image aspect ratio control (16:
9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16). – Image border — width, style, color, and radius.

**Captions & Hover**
 – Captions from the image title or date. – Caption position—
below the image or as an overlay on hover. – Caption typography and color controls.–
Hover effects — zoom, overlay, and caption slide-in. – Meta overlay — show each 
photo’s date and dimensions on hover.

**Search & Filtering**
 – Live search bar (always-visible or expandable) — filter
the gallery by photo title or date as visitors type. – Voice search — search by 
speaking, using the browser’s built-in speech recognition (hidden automatically 
where unsupported). – Autocomplete suggestions — matching titles and dates drop 
down as visitors type. – Highlighted matches — the matched text is highlighted in
results and suggestions. – Live result count — a ”3 of 125 photos” indicator while
filtering. – Year filter chips — one-click chips to filter the gallery by year. –
Each search feature can be toggled on or off individually.

**Photo Filters & Cropping**
 – Visual filter presets — Grayscale, Sepia, Vintage,
Warm, and Cool, with an optional ”reveal original on hover” transition. – Focal 
point crop control — set one crop focus for all images with a live preview, or fine-
tune individual photos so faces and subjects are never cut off in cropped layouts.–
Ken Burns motion — slow, continuous zoom / pan on images with an adjustable speed;
great for hero backgrounds and kiosks.

**Lightbox**
 – Fancybox lightbox with photo and video playback. – Lightbox caption,
keyboard navigation, slideshow autoplay, and thumbnails bar. – Optional download
button in the lightbox toolbar so visitors can save the original image. – Social
share buttons — Facebook, X, Pinterest and Copy-link in the lightbox toolbar. – 
Deep-link to a photo — the open photo is reflected in the URL (?photo=N) so a shared
link reopens it. – Video options — controls, autoplay, muted, loop, and fit-to-window.

**Pagination**
 – Show All, Load More, or numbered Pagination. – Configurable items
per page. – Custom ”Load More” button text. – Customize the ”Load More” button’s
color, typography, border, and padding.

**Performance & SEO**
 – Lazy-load images with a blur / low-res placeholder for 
an instant-feeling page. – Responsive srcset so the browser downloads the right 
image size (faster loads, less bandwidth). – Schema.org ImageObject markup for Google
Images and rich results. – Per-image alt text editing for accessibility and SEO.

**Usability**
 – Drag-to-reorder selected photos in the editor. – Frontend sort 
dropdown — let visitors reorder the gallery (Newest, Oldest, or Random). – Photo
count badge — show a ”125 photos” badge above the gallery. – Preview limit + ”View
all” — show only the first N photos with a button to reveal the rest. – Import /
Export — copy a gallery’s styling and layout as JSON to reuse on another gallery
or site. – Shortcode support — [google_photos id=..] to embed outside Gutenberg.–
Polished empty / not-connected states with guided actions. – Modern React admin 
dashboard. – Works with any WordPress theme and supports wide / full alignment.

#### Pro Features

**Advanced Layouts & Display**
 – Justified / Mosaic layout — images fill every 
row edge-to-edge with varying widths. – Timeline layout — group photos by day, month,
or year with date headers and sticky headers; perfect for travel blogs and event
recaps. – Advanced Carousel options — slide effect, speed, slides-per-group, centered
slides, grab cursor, pause-on-hover, and free-mode. – Frontend media filter bar —
let visitors filter by Photos, Videos, or All with customizable button labels. –

Polaroid, Magazine, and more) and save your own settings as reusable presets.

**Premium Lightbox & Hover**
 – Premium lightbox skins — choose from multiple visual
themes for the lightbox viewer. – Video autoplay in lightbox — videos start playing
automatically when opened. – EXIF display in lightbox — show each photo’s camera,
lens, aperture, shutter speed, and ISO (read from the image’s embedded data). – 
Per-image custom link — link any image to an external URL (opens in a new tab). –
Advanced hover / overlay styling — grayscale effect, hover icon, and gradient overlay
on hover.

**Advanced Search (Pro)**
 – Fuzzy / typo-tolerant search — ”beech” still finds ”
beach”. – ”/” keyboard shortcut — focus the search box from anywhere on the page.–
Recent searches — remembered per gallery in a dropdown. – ”Did you mean…” suggestion
when a search returns no results. – Sticky search bar that follows scroll on long
galleries.

**Client Delivery (Photographers)**
 – Client Picks (Proofing) — visitors heart/
select their favorite photos and submit them; the selection is emailed to you AND
saved in the admin (Google Photos  Client Picks), with optional per-photo comments.
Pairs with password protection for private client galleries. – Download as ZIP —
let visitors download the whole gallery as a single ZIP of the original files (only
possible because photos are stored locally). – Gallery expiry — automatically hide
a gallery after a chosen date, with a custom message (great for time-limited client
delivery).

**Analytics & Maintenance**
 – Gallery Analytics — count gallery views and lightbox
opens, with an admin dashboard showing totals, a ”most viewed” table, and a bar 
chart. – Media Cleanup Manager — see the Media Library storage used per gallery,
delete orphaned imported photos in one click, and optionally delete a gallery’s 
photos when the gallery is deleted.

the album every 15 minutes, hourly, or daily. – Live Event / Wedding Mode — visitors’
open pages refresh on their own and show newly synced photos with no reload (a pulsing”
Live · N new” badge). Guests drop photos into the shared album and the gallery wall
updates itself. – Multi-album per gallery — pull photos from several shared albums
into one gallery, with an optional album-tab switcher on the frontend. – Shared 
album embed — display any public shared Google Photos album without full OAuth setup.–
Bulk album import — import all photos from a shared album in a single sync operation.

**Gallery Protection**
 – Password-protected gallery — restrict gallery access with
a password. – Right-click & download protection — disable right-click context menu
to discourage image downloading. – Automatic watermark — apply a logo watermark 
on all images during import (server-side, position/opacity/size controls).

**Performance**
 – Auto WebP conversion — automatically convert imported images 
to WebP format for faster page loads and smaller file sizes.

### Source Code

You can find the source code, report bugs, and contribute to the development of 
this plugin on our GitHub repository:
 [**Embed Google Photos on GitHub**](https://github.com/bPlugins/new-embed-google-photos)

### External Services

This plugin connects to the following external services. Understanding what is sent,
and when, helps clarify how your data is handled.

#### Google Photos (Google OAuth 2.0 + Google Photos Picker API)

What it is and why it is used: This plugin is a Google Photos gallery. To let you
pick photos and videos from your own Google Photos account and display them on your
site, it connects to Google’s APIs on your server. This connection only happens 
after you enter your own Google API credentials (Client ID, Client Secret, Refresh
Token) in the plugin settings and use the ”Select Photos” flow; it is required for
the plugin to function.

Which endpoints are contacted and what data is sent:
 * https://oauth2.googleapis.
com/token — your Client ID, Client Secret and Refresh Token are sent to exchange
them for a short-lived access token. * https://photospicker.googleapis.com/v1 — 
the access token is sent (as a Bearer token) to create a picker session, check its
status, and list the media items you selected. The selected photos/videos are then
downloaded to your own WordPress Media Library.

When it happens: only in wp-admin, triggered by an authenticated administrator connecting
an account or clicking ”Select Photos”. No data is sent from your visitors’ browsers,
and the OAuth credentials/tokens never reach the frontend.

Your credentials and tokens are stored only on your own server (in your WordPress
database) and are sent only to Google. This plugin does not transmit them to bPlugins
or any other third party.

Google’s terms and privacy policy:
 * Terms of Service: https://policies.google.
com/terms * Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy * Google APIs Terms
of Service: https://developers.google.com/terms

#### Schema.org vocabulary (https://schema.org)

What it is and why it is used: On the frontend the plugin outputs Schema.org ”ImageObject”
structured data (JSON-LD) for each gallery image so search engines such as Google
can better understand and index your images (Google Images / rich results, improving
SEO).

What data is sent: None. The address ”https://schema.org” appears only as the standard`@
context` identifier inside the JSON-LD markup — it is a vocabulary name, not a network
request. The plugin does not connect to, load anything from, or send any data to
schema.org. All image data stays on your own server.

your WordPress database and sent only to Google’s servers. They are never transmitted
to bPlugins or any third party.

### How does Album Auto-Sync work?

Cron to check the album hourly and automatically imports any new photos into your
Media Library and gallery. No manual re-importing needed.

### Can I embed a shared Google Photos album without OAuth?

Yes (Pro). You can paste any public shared Google Photos album URL and the plugin
will import the photos without requiring full OAuth credentials.

### Can I password-protect a gallery?

Yes (Pro). You can set a password on any gallery. Visitors must enter the correct

Unlimited. You can create as many galleries as you need.

### Why do my Google Photos credentials/refresh token expire after 7 days?

If your Google Cloud OAuth app is set to ”Testing” mode, Google automatically expires
refresh tokens after 7 days, requiring you to reconnect your account. To prevent
this, go to your Google Cloud Console under APIs & Services > OAuth consent screen,
and change the Publishing status of your app from ”Testing” to ”In Production” (
no verification is needed).

i tried many plugins but i finally come back to this one as suggested by AI. it’s
just stupid to setup all the things (like the Client ID, Client Secret, Refresh 
Token) and the documents just ask you to add them? so useless and a total waste 
of time!

 [novgorod](https://profiles.wordpress.org/novgorod/) 30.6.2025

Since April 2025 Google removed public API access of the photos library entirely.
The ”Photos Library API” can now only access photos that were created through the
API, which is completely useless, and there is no replacement other than using a
plugin based on web-scraping a shared album link. Or you can reverse-engineer the
private API of the official Google app or website, but who has time for that? Another
step-up in evilness for Google (they can go and choke on a c*ck), and 3 stars for
the effort to make the only API-based plugin for this. Back to scraping it is – 
at least it costs Google more money in traffic and webhosting.

Working well. You just need to read the instruction well to create the API token.

So many things wrong with this plugin starting with the horrible instructions. You
activate the install the plugin, activate it…then what? There are no instructions–
you have to go hunt them down. And unless you have a deep knowledge of Google API’s
don’t waste your time. Even after I finally got everything set up, the plugin and
Google API would not connect to each other. An hour out of my life gone with nothing
to show for it.

One of the best plugin to take Google Photos and Google Album into a wordpress post.

#### 1.2.2 – 16 July, 2026
