Hi All
the plugin fails in WP 5.9
Here is a fork with the fix
https://github.com/pbearne/photo-express/tree/str_starts_with-fix-for-WP-5.9
you can download the zip
https://github.com/pbearne/photo-express/archive/refs/heads/str_starts_with-fix-for-WP-5.9.zip and upload via FTP
or if you just want to fix it in the WP-admin editor go to
/wp-admin/plugin-editor.php?plugin=photo-express-for-google%2Fphoto-express.php&Submit=Select
and change line 250 from
function str_starts_with( $haystack, $needle ) {
return substr( $haystack, 0, strlen( $needle ) ) === $needle;
}
to
if( ! function_exists( 'str_starts_with' ) ){
function str_starts_with( $haystack, $needle ) {
return substr( $haystack, 0, strlen( $needle ) ) === $needle;
}
}
I have been using Photo Express and its former version for a number of years now. Seen that it has not been updated for a long time I start worrying that the plugin may be abandoned. With the new Gutenberg around the corner I fear I won’t be able to use my google Photos in my posts any longer, as Photo Express as it is now won’t work with Gutenberg.
If this plugin is abandoned, does anyone know of an alternative?
Looking at some of my older posts https://lawchristopher.com/kiev-modern-historical-adventure/ some of the individual images aren’t showing anymore. The album still seems to work though, but for those not showing up I’m getting a 403. I’d imagine that’s a limit exceeded warning? But, I could be wrong. Not sure how to go about fixing this.
]]>Great plugin but now useless… (?)
I can display only shared to public albums from google photos but there is no possibility to make new album public. Google photos have functionality to share only by link. I don’t know any method to display new albums or add new photos using this until recently really great plugin. For every help I will be very grateful.
Worked fine for awhile but now i can no longer see new albums. My old albums are there and i can’t for the life of me see anything different between old and new. Last worked July 2016 and didn’t work March 2017. Hitting refresh a lot doesn’t do anything.
]]>We’re currently using another plugin that displays Google Photos albums and images within the albums, but the plugin does not offer the functionality to share the albums on social media. It does allow to share individual images, but not the album.
Does this plugin offer any social media sharing functionality?
]]>I was able to successfully install the plugin complete with OAuth private folders yesterday on a sub domain of my website (separate wordpress install) but when I tried to install it on another subdomain to access the same google drive folders today, I cannot do so. I get to the step 2 part of the OAuth procedure and get:
Error: redirect_uri_mismatch
The redirect URI in the request, https://sub.mywebsite.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=photo-express, does not match the ones authorized for the OAuth client. Visit https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials/oauthclient/%5Bspecific details] to update the authorized redirect URIs.
I’ve done that multiple times without success. The URIs are correct. I even created a new project with a separate key and identity (went through the entire process) and it gives me the same error.
Any ideas? Is it not possible to access the folders again once it’s been setup initially?
]]>Single photos can be shown, but none of my albums display..
Is this lovely plugin still be supported/updated?
thanks,
Asa
In the Photo Express for Google dialog, I’d like to sort albums by descending date in order to have the most recent pictures first. I’ve tried to set these parameters in Display properties options, but it doesn’t work. Any help would be appreciated
]]>Request: Featured Image
Are there any plans to make the first image of a posting, show up as the featured image?
]]>Installed plug-in and set it up correctly as far as I can tell.
I can access the albums I’ve created and insert individual photos in posts and pages, but if I try the Shortcode method of choosing an entire album, nothing is displayed on the resulting page.
Not sure what to make of it.
]]>Hello,
i have been using this plugin for quite a while but since a few day. When I click on photo album to see the image in larger size. I used to have the option photoswipe to zoom on pictures and be able to download, share, etc… but now when I click on a picture, it open the picture in the browser and I don’t have any photoswipe.
Do you have any idea of what it could be?
second question is : as it is linked to google album, when there is a video, I can only see the picture of the video with the play button logo, but we can’t play the video in the gallery. Is there a way to have the same behavior as google photos (you can have pictures and video are playing).
Thank you for your support.
Stéphane
]]>I would like to show description instead of caption default for all the images i’m inserting. It should be possible to use caption=1 in shortcode. But i don’t know how to use it in the generated shortcode in the post editor.
Why isn’t there a checkbox option for this in the settings ?
I can not activate the plugin. I believe my PHP is 5.4
My site is isingstravel.com
The error I get is:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

We’re running Photo Express for Google on two sites. One is our production site, the other our test site. At the moment the sites are identical except that we upgraded the test site to PHP 5.5.
On the test site, which is running PHP 5.5, we were trying to install and test some additional plugins, but we get an “An unexpted error occured.” message. When we disable Photo Express for Google, the Add Plugins page works again. Once we enable Photo Express, the Add Plugins page stops working again.
]]>I have scanned old photos and put them up to google photos.
There is an “information” field available when you click the < i >
button in google photos.
I use that to enter things like dates, places and most importantly people.
I am using your plugin to present my photos on my website.
Can i access the data that is held in the google information field somehow?
This isnt anything to do with photograph specific metadata. Its the “information” field you see when you click the < i > button.
Thanks
]]>I’m using your plugin to pull photo Albums from Google Photos, and it has been working very well, however I found I couldn’t see Shared Albums, so I started creating albums then sharing them later.
It seems, however, that any photo added to the album after sharing was enabled isn’t showing up on the page. I can see the added photos in the shortcode UI when I click on an album, but when it renders it for the user, they don’t appear.
Any suggestions?
]]>Is it possible to use a shortcode to display the list of albums in a google photo account? Like a gallery of galleries…? If not, what would you suggest?
]]>Although my Google User ID and the Album ID are correctly Identified Public Album will not Display!

]]>Hi, I am using 0.3.2 of the plugin. I upload the images to Google Photos, then set them to shared as “Anyone with the link can see this album” However I can only get the albums to appear in the Plugin once I also set the Album to “Public on the Web” in Picasaweb. I have configured OAuth, this made no difference.
Also, The images in the Album when loaded in WordPress are in a very random order, is there a way to have them appear in chronological order?

]]>Whenever I put a user in I get Response Code 400. What does this mean and how do I fix it?
]]>Hi:
(Apologies in advance if this covered elsewhere but I can’t see it in the support forum)
I’ve got the plug-in working with Picasa albums but it seems that it just won’t show up any Google+ albums in the Photoexpress dialog box for me to choose from.
Everything is set to ‘sharing’ and I also tried the ‘OAuth’ route but that’s not made any difference. My solution has been to move photos into old Picasa albums that are showing in the Photoexpress dialog box…
Any help appreciated in getting Picasa and Google+ albums to work as a bit worried that when and if Google stops support for Picasa it will change web address from ‘picasa’ to ‘photo'(this seems to be part of the problem – Google+ albums have that prefix) and the links will be broken.
Thanks again
]]>If I want to insert shortcode for an album, it lokks like this:
[peg-gallery album="https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/112215125172491079496/albumid/6109437675898354321?alt=rss&kind=photo" each="function each(iterator, context) {
try {
this._each(iterator, context);
} catch (e) {
if (e != $break) throw e;
}
return this;
}" eachSlice="function eachSlice(number, iterator, context) {
var index = -number, slices = [], array = this.toArray();
if (number < 1) return array;
while ((index += number) < array.length)
slices.push(array.slice(index, index+number));
return slices.collect(iterator, context);
}" all="function () {
if (arguments.length === 0) {
return method.call(this, Prototype.K);The plugin inserted the complete PHP code of the function each() and is not running that code to give the correct shortcode.
Any idea?
]]>hello
first of all thank you very much for this plugin This is exactly what I needed and it’s been really helpful.
I would appreciate if anyone can help me with style configuration.
After I found out that Phototile style configuration will not work, I tried to apply Masonry or Isotope. I’ve read through the websites, both of them saying essentially the same thing.
https://masonry.desandro.com/#getting-started
https://isotope.metafizzy.co/
but I am completely lost and got no clue which file to modify.
PLEASE somebody help me ??
Hi.
First, thank you for creating this plugin. I’m trying to use this to display google photo galleries on my site.
I’ve installed and authorised through the developers console. When I launch the the dialogue (using the little button next to media) a few buttons appear with my details but no images or albums are showing… Any tips would be high appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi, thanks for a great plugin.
Since I’m trying to get the most out of this plugin, I wanted to access all images from an account based on a specific tag. This was actually very easy by applying this code:
[peg-gallery album=”https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/{USER}?alt=rss&kind=photo&max-results=1000″ tags=”{TAG}” ]
However, there seems to be a limit of the amount of pictures I can load (301). This limit is lower than the one from a regular album query, so I’m guessing that it might be possible to load more images? Or is this an API limit as well?
]]>Hi all,
When you select to show a complete album or image in your post.
Is that album / photo linked or actually downloaded to your post which then consumes additional space on your webhosting in regard to diskspace.
Reason i’m asking is cause i’m hosting a photography blog which has a lot of photos hosted on google photos.
As that will actually be multiple GB’s i want someone to click on the post and then it loads the album / photos from google photos instead of actually downloading them into my hosters diskspace.
L.S.,
On mobile devices, when viewing a page in landscape mode, the width of the page header is smaller than the album width, leaving the header area of a page half empty. This happens only when the gallery option “Use the Google+ phototile style for album layout and thumbnail size selection” is selected and a width is give (in my case 980 px).
The effect is half-a-header on pages with albums. Can this be fixed? Maybe the ability to show captions in slideshows too?
Have a look @ https://www.carlitoergosum.nl/geselecteerd-beeld/ on your phone to see what I mean….
ThanX in advance for any pointers..
]]>Great plug in! I was wondering if there’s a way to do a slideshow or carousel as an alternative to thumbnails. Or has anyone found a good plug in to do that using Google Images as the source?
Thanks.
