    Hi, if I can PM you I’ll share page link. Generically, is there a way to have the plugin default to open the google album directly (i.e., without Lightbox individual photo views) similar to how a url redirect would work? Doing this would allow users to view/scroll through all photos rather than walk through individual photos. I’ve activated the Google API (thank you for the instructions – they have changed a bit from your published walkthrough but still very clear) and the plugin is working perfectly – picked up newly added albums. PS: these albums (and the short code) are contained in a tabbed container which segregates albums via year).

    You are correct, and nothing happened OTHER than additional albums were added to google account.

    I did add the !important parameter to the z-index because the gallery was again showing behind the tab container holding the gallery.

    The z-index parameter cannot take units – it has to be a number. So basically 10px !important is causing the value to be ignored. Instead it should be 10 !important.

    I’ve changed that and now seems to be working fine. Thank you.

    New problems…selecting an album thumbnail from site creates a spinning pinwheel which never loads the google albums…and after adjusting to “count=100” that problem was solved but the css to lower the top of the popup gallery and to bring the z index up by 10 fail…css is there but not effective.

    As always I need a URL to help. The count issue is a bug at Google’s end, BTW, and has been reported to Google: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/111714379#comment4.

    I’ve implemented the 100 count, and somehow the css changes worked again – less than optimal but at least the first 100 photos in an album show. Is there a way to add Show More to the popup?

    As for the CSS, I suspect there was an old page cache in my system or at Cloudflare. Thank you. How will we know when/if Google fixes the count problem? Is there a way to follow the forum thread? PS: as far as I’m concerned this is resolved as it’s a google issue.

    Instead of count, if you use photo_count and then photo_more, which will let you see a “Show More” on the popup. See here.

    Google issue tracker has this as a solve: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/113559504

    But it seems as if this would be something to add to a php file of the plugin, not a site specific CSS file. For now the load more option seems the best work around – or is that what makes the call for next_page_token?

    I posted both options for the fix on my site last night.

    And yes, “Show more” uses the page token.

    I am aware of the issue logged on Google’s site – it was originally posted on a thread that I had started (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/111714379#comment4). I am one of the earliest adopters of the API, and I have reported quite a few items on their issue tracker so far.
