Too complex

No Gutenberg block for it so you can just insert the URL.

What's the point?

I don't understand why anyone needs to use this plugin, that still requires several laborious steps back and forth from your google album, copying and pasting. You can do the exact same thing by copying and pasting it into "add media from URL" without the plugin. Plugins are supposed to be time savers, this one is not.

Works great!

I really like this plugin. Thanks Developer!

Just fine !

Tested with WP 4.7.5 : Works fine ! Suggestions : - Link in the caption : Optional (Caption with link/Caption without link) - link to Google Photo page : Link to the photo / Link to the album of the photo - copy the image into the medias library Thanks ! I made the translation (French) of the plugin available on the WordPress site. Bertrand

Nice work.

Poor Documentation, No Demo Available

By hddimensions on September 3, 2016

The author's description of the plugin leaves me wondering exactly what it is supposed to do. From what I gather by the title of the plugin an image from Google Photos is supposed to embed and display inside a post. However, after installing the plugin and testing using his basic examples, the image from Google Photos does not display in the post. It does display the link to the image, but that's not what I was looking for. If there's something I'm missing the documentation, or lack of it, doesn't help.

Here's the short code I used:

Just what I was looking for

Since Google dropped its Picasa Web Albums, I've been wondering if someone was developing a plugin for Google Photos - its replacement that does both more and less than Google Picasa Web Albums did. I'll start using this and will report back how it goes. Thanks!
