Gallery for Google Photos – Import and Showcase Photo Albums

Since April 2025 Google removed public API access of the photos library entirely. The “Photos Library API” can now only access photos that were created through the API, which is completely useless, and there is no replacement other than using a plugin based on web-scraping a shared album link. Or you can reverse-engineer the private API of the official Google app or website, but who has time for that?

Another step-up in evilness for Google (they can go and choke on a c*ck), and 3 stars for the effort to make the only API-based plugin for this. Back to scraping it is – at least it costs Google more money in traffic and webhosting.

Working well. You just need to read the instruction well to create the API token.

This has what seems like 500 pages of google stuff to try and do first get a degree from mit then take a week off if you want to install

So many things wrong with this plugin starting with the horrible instructions. You activate the install the plugin, activate it…then what? There are no instructions – you have to go hunt them down. And unless you have a deep knowledge of Google API’s don’t waste your time. Even after I finally got everything set up, the plugin and Google API would not connect to each other. An hour out of my life gone with nothing to show for it.

One of the best plugin to take Google Photos and Google Album into a wordpress post. The description for integrating Google Photos is very detailed. Anyone can do that!
