Licence
WP Photo Album is released under the GNU GPL licence. ( http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html )
Installation
- Standard from the plugins page
Requirements
- The theme should have a call to wp_head() in its header.php file and wp_footer() in its footer.php file.
- The theme should load enqueued scripts in the header if the scripts are enqueued without the $in_footer switch (like wppa.js and jQuery).
- The theme should not prevent this plugin from loading the jQuery library in its default wp manner, i.e. the library jQuery in safe mode (uses jQuery() and not $()).
- The theme should not use remove_action() or remove_all_actions() when it affects actions added by wppa+.
Most themes comply with these requirements.
However, check these requirements in case of problems with new installations with themes you never had used before with wppa+ or when you modified your theme. - The server should have at least 64MB of memory.

Faq
- Recommended plugins: qTranslate, Comet Cache, Cube Points, Simple Cart & Buy Now.
- Plugins that break up WPPA+: My Live Signature.
- Google Analytics for WordPress will break the slideshow in most cases when Track outbound clicks & downloads: has been checked in its configuration.
- Photocrati has a problem with the wppa+ embedded lightbox when using page templates with sidebar.
- No, WPPA+ is responsive by default
- After an update, always clear your browser cache (CTRL+F5) and clear your temp internetfiles, this will ensure the new versions of js files will be loaded.
- And – most important – if you use a server side caching program (like W3 Total Cache) clear its cache.
- Make sure any minifying plugin (like W3 Total Cache) is also reset to make sure the new version files are used.
- Visit the Photo Albums -> Settings page -> Table VIII-A1 and press Do it!
- When upload fails after an upgrade, one or more columns may be added to one of the db tables. In rare cases this may have been failed.
Unfortunately this is hard to determine.
If this happens, make sure (ask your hosting provider) that you have all the rights to modify db tables and run action Table VII-A1 again.

Reviews
A game changer
By 
To be honest, after using it for few years you have to say it is way over expectations! Any! And a full commitment of the author to look for our needs, update it for free is something you just cannot admire enough.
Great plugin
By 
Our website has used this plugin for our Photography galleries for some time now. It is the best one out there in my opinion.
The author Jacob is very pro-active and extremely helpful, resolving issues very quickly.
Highly recommended plugin.
Too heavy
By 
Plugin is great and really powerful with lots of settings. But it ''eats'' a lot of memory so other plugins stopped working. I do not need all those numerous settings, I just need a gallery with possibility for users to download and comment pictures from frontend, so I decided to look for another decision. I`ve made contribution in translating this plugin into Ukrainian. Wish you luck 🙂
Best plugin out there.
