    Hello, thanks again for resolving the issue with diplaying photo albums from Google Photos. I am currently having problems displaying single albums, please help.

    For instance if I do [photonic type=’google’ view=’photos’ filter=’idofmyphotoalbum’ popup=’show’ photo_count=20 photo_more=’Load More’], it loads photos from all albums starting from the first album created and so forth, instead of the album that I specified in the filter attribute. The album ID is indeed correct, taken from Photonic > Helpers. The same is happening with other album IDs entered. Please advise.

    I am pretty sure that the Photonic wizard will not generate the shortcode in the manner you have specified. Basically, the moment you specify view='photos', there is no concept of a filter, and the filter attribute is ignored.

    See here for examples of how to display photos from a single album, or use the Wizard to build out the gallery for you. Essentially instead of filter='...', you have to specify album_id='...'.

    Many thanks Sayontan, works now! Sorry I didn’t see that link you provided. Was only focusing on last section Displaying a Single Album at bottom of https://aquoid.com/plugins/photonic/google-photos/albums/

    Just 1 more aspect regarding this – there is an awesome zoom in feature on thumbnail hover in examples with layout=”random”, how is is this achieved please? I tried with and without the wizard, and the album photos load correctly except this zoom in feature does not work.
