albums selected auto reset

  • thank you very much for this great plugin!

    I have a problem.

    I have about 100 albums in my google photo.
    when I open the editor and
    in the menu “in pick your album”,
    I see 35 photos first and to see more photos, I press “load more”.
    the problem is,
    IF I select the photos that are within 35th, or any after 36th that are appeared after pressing “load more”, photos are seen in website
    however, when I enter editor again to add new album,
    photos only within first 35th are selected as I selected bofore. but photos that are appeared and selected after pressing “load more” are appeared as not selected.
    Therefore I have do selecting process repeatedly everytime I want to add another new album.

    how can i solve the problem?
    I am the one who asked you before about the photoes after 35th not appearing.
    thank you very much.

    Sorry for the late response – I have been on a holiday during the Christmas / New Year period and not actively monitoring my mails.

    Like your previous post, I am not able to replicate this :-). This works perfectly on all my test installations.

    I don’t know if it makes sense to follow a different approach in your case. Are you using Gutenberg? If you are not using Gutenberg and are instead using a shortcode, you can try this:

    1. If you look at the shortcode for your page, you will see something like this:
      [gallery type='google' view='albums' filter='AC0hfMD_Zl9uHWRWopMFPZz-tojGqTKI7kIRVO3-ZChmlB0UjJJsjhU,AC0hfMBGQJnAibJsSULi_jMd0MkwXDqmo_Co1dMr97K5OXoSTbwgsLI,...' layout='random']
    2. In the above, note the part that says filter. There is a listing of album ids over there, where the list of albums is separated using commas.
    3. Now, go to Photonic → Helpers. In the section for Google Photos keep clicking to get a listing of all your albums. You can see the name of the album, a thumbnail for the album, and the id for the album.
    4. Copy the ids from the Photonic → Helpers page, and add them to the shortcode tag that says filter. Before each album id make sure that you put in a comma.

    The disadvantage with this method is that you will not be able to use the the Photonic gallery builder, but at least you will not have to keep re-selecting the albums. See here for documentation.
