Remove album cover from subalbum with only one photo

I think i do not understand your question exactly, but i will give it a try.

Normally if you display the content of an album with shortcode like:
[wppa type="album" album="... you see the covers of the sub-albums and the tumbnails of the photos in it.
If you want to see the covers of the subalbums only, use shortcode like:
[wppa type="covers" album="....
If you want to see the thumbnails only, use shortcode like:
[wppa type="thumbs" album=....
The album number ( album=”…” ) is the same in all shortcodes.

Thank you. That helped somewhat but the change isn’t being applied when I try to link to the page through the Album Admin pages.

Here is a link so you can see what is happening:

If you scroll over on the menu to “Collections/Gastropods” and click, this opens a page that has the shortcode [wppa type=”covers” album=”10″][/wppa]. The subalbums display correctly without the cover album image.

However, if you go back to the Home page, scroll down to the “Gastropods” image and click. This also links to the Gastropod page through the Edit Album Information page of WP Photo Album Plus and you will see that the subalbums are all listed correctly in order and then down at the bottom of the page is the cover album image (which I do not want). I can set the threshold to 1 and this cover album image will disappear, but then I won’t be able to get my the subalbums that only have one image to work.

Regardless of how you get to the Gastropod subalbums, if you click on any of the subalbums and then use the Breadcrumb to go back, the cover album image shows up again.

I must have a setting wrong in the Edit album information page but I’ve tried various combinations and no luck. The link type is Subalbums and thumbnails and the the link to: is the gastropod page.

There is probably something very basic that I am doing incorrectly, but I can’t figure it out.

You are doing nothing wrong.

The situation that there are significant albums with only one photo has always been assumed to be non existing. So, it is an unusual situation.

Try this, and use the text editor, not the visual:

Add to page Gastropod this to its content:

<style type="text/css">
.wppa-thumb-area {
display:none;
}
</style>

This will prevent the thumbnails to show up.

If you construct links manually, you can also make use of the following additions to the querystring:
&wppa-photos-only to show the photos only, and &wppa-albums-only to show the subalbumcovers only.

Thanks! That worked! This is really a great plug-in. And thanks for being so responsive.
