    Hi there,
    I am trying to use this plugin to show a gallery of all the different albums from Google. This has been achieved. But when the user clicks on each album link – all that happens is a popup appears with the first three photos from the album.
    Is the plugin able to: have the user click on an album, and direct them to a new page to view all the photos in that album?
    Thanks in advance.

    Apologies – I hurt my back and hence had to reduce screen-time, resulting in delays in responses.

    Can you provide me with a URL so that I may see what is happening?

    Firstly, unrelated to your support topic, you will need to disable your caching plugin for this page. Caching does not work with Google Photos URLs – this is a limitation of Google Photos in that its URLs are live for 30 minutes and hence not cacheable (caching works for everything else like Flickr, though).

    Now, coming to your questions, Photonic does not support opening your galleries in new pages. It is designed to show you everything on the same page without having the user navigate between pages.

    That being said, when I click on an album like Dinner 2014, I am able to go through the entire album by clicking on the arrows. So I am not seeing the problem you are describing.
