How does Album Auto-Sync work?
Paste a public shared Google Photos album URL into the block. The plugin uses WP-Cron to check the album hourly and automatically imports any new photos into your Media Library and gallery. No manual re-importing needed.
Can I embed a shared Google Photos album without OAuth?
Yes (Pro). You can paste any public shared Google Photos album URL and the plugin will import the photos without requiring full OAuth credentials.
Can I password-protect a gallery?
Yes (Pro). You can set a password on any gallery. Visitors must enter the correct password before they can view the images.
Does the plugin add watermarks to my images?
Yes (Pro). You can upload a logo and the plugin applies it as a server-side watermark during import. You control position, size, and opacity.
Does the plugin convert images to WebP?
Yes (Pro). When enabled, images are automatically converted to WebP format during import for faster page loads and smaller file sizes.
Can I use it outside the Gutenberg editor?
Yes. Every gallery generates a shortcode [google_photos id=..] that works in the Classic Editor, page builders, widget areas, and template files.
Does it work with any WordPress theme?
Yes, it works with any standard WordPress theme and supports wide and full alignment.
Can I filter images and videos?
Yes. In the free version you can filter by media type (All, Photos, Videos) in the editor. The Pro version also adds a frontend filter bar so visitors can filter on the live page.
How many galleries can I create?
Unlimited. You can create as many galleries as you need.
Why do my Google Photos credentials/refresh token expire after 7 days?
If your Google Cloud OAuth app is set to "Testing" mode, Google automatically expires refresh tokens after 7 days, requiring you to reconnect your account. To prevent this, go to your Google Cloud Console under APIs & Services > OAuth consent screen, and change the Publishing status of your app from "Testing" to "In Production" (no verification is needed).
