    Awesome plugin, thank you Sayontan Sinha.

    I am using this plugin to show albums here https://thedisabilitycaravan.com/media/. I have set it such that when we create a shared album in the Google photos it will show up in this page. This works very well. I was trying to test the exclude filter; for e.g. something like filter=’Tour Pictures’ filter_type=’exclude’. This does not seem to work. The album to be excluded, Tour Pictures, still shows up. Ideally it would be helpful to show all shared albums but exclude a selected few. So this would be a combination of filter_type and the access setting.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    You will need the album id that Google creates. If you are using the Photonic gallery wizard, it will let you pick the album and assign the id automatically.

    I have used both short codes and wizard. I want to include all but 1 shared album. The number of shared albums grow over time but 1 of those shared albums should be excluded. One way to do this is to select each album. This mean I have to update the short code whenever new album is added. Is there a way to avoid that?

    When you use the Wizard, in the screen that says “Pick your albums”, from the dropdown “What do you want to show?”, you can pick “All except selected albums”, and then pick the albums that you want to exclude. This will automatically add the filter_type='exclude' parameter, and assign the right album ids to the filter parameter.
