Shared Albums for Google Photos

Embed a Google Photos shared album directly from the source, without uploading copies to your WordPress media library.
Add one shortcode, choose a gallery, slider, or carousel layout, and the plugin turns your album into a responsive photo experience for desktop and mobile visitors.

It is built for photographers, bloggers, clubs, families, travel sites, event pages,
and anyone who already organizes photos in Google Photos and wants to show them beautifully on a WordPress site.

Why Install It

• No duplicate uploads – Keep your photos in Google Photos and show them on your WordPress site.
• Less gallery maintenance – Update the album at the source instead of rebuilding galleries by hand.
• A better visitor experience – Give people a responsive gallery, slider, carousel, fullscreen view, or lightbox.
• Photo and video support – Share mixed albums without splitting them into separate WordPress galleries.
• Mobile-friendly browsing – Let visitors swipe, tap, zoom, navigate, and enjoy slideshows naturally.
• Useful presentation options – Show descriptions, dates, counters, buttons, and image details when they help.
• Built for real albums – Caching, lazy loading, and progressive loading help larger albums stay practical.

Why People Use It

Google Photos is convenient for storing and sharing albums.
WordPress is where your audience is.
This plugin connects the two.

Instead of exporting photos, uploading them to the media library, rebuilding galleries,
and repeating the work after every album change, you can share the Google Photos album once and embed it where you need it.

What Happens After Installing

The plugin adds its own WordPress admin menu with a friendly Guide page,
ready-to-use examples, a live shortcode playground, and the current parameter reference.

Start with a sample, paste your own Google Photos share link,
preview the result, and place the shortcode where you want the album to appear.

Community Inspiration

The optional Community Directory helps you discover what other users are building with the plugin.

• Browse real shortcode examples for layout ideas.
• Copy a configuration and adapt it to your own album.
• Rate useful examples and share your own.
• Add a sample page URL if you want curious visitors to find your site.

Community features are optional. You can use the gallery plugin without joining or publishing anything.
