Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Shared Albums for Google Photos (by JanZeman)
No, the album must be shared publicly via a link. Google Photos does not provide API access to private albums without OAuth authentication.
The plugin can handle up to 300 photos per album. This is a limitation from Google Photos, which typically returns around 300 photos in the initial page load. For performance and stability reasons, very old iOS devices using legacy WebKit may automatically be limited to 25 photos on the client side, even if the server-side limit is higher. All other platforms (desktop, Android, modern iOS/iPadOS) can use the full per-album limit you configure.
If you see a yellow warning banner above your gallery, it means you're using a short link (photos.app.goo.gl). Current status: Short links still work but this format might stop working in the future.
No. The plugin uses lazy loading (only loads visible images) and caches the gallery HTML for 24 hours. The Swiper library is bundled locally for optimal performance.
Yes! You can override the CSS by adding custom styles to your theme. The main container class is .jzsa-album.
Absolutely! The gallery is fully responsive and supports touch gestures (swipe, pinch-to-zoom).
When enabled with show-download-button="true", a download button appears in the top-left corner. Clicking it downloads the current full-resolution photo to your device. The download uses a server-side proxy to bypass CORS restrictions from Google Photos.
In fullscreen mode, a play/pause button appears above the photo counter at the bottom center. Click it or press the spacebar to toggle autoplay on/off. The button shows a play icon (▶) when paused and a pause icon (⏸) when playing. This works regardless of the full-screen-autoplay setting - if autoplay is disabled, the button lets you start it manually.
The cache is automatically cleared when you save the post, so changes take effect immediately.
The plugin provides clear feedback: Warnings (gallery still works): - Short link detected: Yellow warning banner appears above the gallery Errors (gallery won't display): - Invalid URL: Not a valid Google Photos link - Album is private or link expired: "Unable to Load Album" error - Empty album: "No Photos Found" error
