Description
This plugin requires a shared Google Photos album link to view photos using gallery/player or carousel. This widget is free to use for WordPress users.
It is very easy to use. Just write a shortcode to your post and include a link of shared Google Photos album as a parameter. Instead of shortcode, html code with links to the photo will be inserted and it will be decorated using Public album javascript.
Example

How do I update my album?
The album will update automatically as soon as you save or update your post.
Javascript decorator
External javascript decorator is stored on CDN and loading and running of them is optimized for performance.
Javascript widget can be used without photos from Google photos. Detailed information on how to use javascript is available in one of older posts about carusel slideshow on my blog.
