    Hello, twice now I carefully followed the documentation you provided for Google Photos setup and sucessfully completed, but when I add a shortcode, I get the following error: There are no photos with those IDs or the post 2 does not have any attached images! Source selection is missing from this grid. (I understand that 2 is the post id).

    I tried [gallery type='google' view='albums'] or [gallery type='google' view='photos' filter='idofmyphotoalbum' popup='show' photo_count=10 photo_more='Load More'] but above error is retuurned.

    I noticed the first time when authenticating, the Google account only showed the View your Google Photos library permissions in that screen where I click on Allow. It did not show the Manage your photos and videos, Manage and add to shared albums on your behalf permisions. I then tried second time by adding those scopes but could not get far due to verification required(there are some mandatory reqirements that’ll take too long, like to create a youtube video showing all the relevant info) so I removed these scopes and still completed the remaining steps but the same error is returned. I did not pay much attention to this as I thought it’s just Google changing stuff around.

    Greatly appreciate your help, really this to resolve this urgently please.

    You have a conflict with a different gallery plugin (or your theme), which seems to be using the gallery shortcode. It is very easy to resolve this, and literally the very first option in Photonic helps you: Photonic → Settings → Generic Options → Generic settings → Custom Shortcode. You can use a custom shortcode there, e.g. photonic, and then use that for your galleries. So, instead of saying [gallery type='google' view='albums'], you will say [photonic type='google' view='albums'].
