I think that we can mark this as closed. The initial problems that I reported are solved by the suggestions you have made. I can successfully display albums in my private blog (I don’t seem to be able to display multiple photos as I get an error code 411 – but I can live with that as it is albums that I wanted).

Thank you so much for your support

Thank you. I have no doubt that this was my error. It all seems to be working now. I will do some final testing tomorrow (to ensure that the refresh token works ok and everything still displays and works). On the assumption that it does, then I will re-implement the code in my production version of the blog.

Ah ha… responding to my own comment, this seems to be a little random. I tried a different album with a different grid (2 x 2) and this time it worked. I will experiment some more.

Sayontan,
Thank you once again. Turning off SSL has made a significant difference (as did switching back from Gutenberg to the classic editor).

Now I get the button to select my gallery and (after repeating the advice you gave regarding the pinned post) I get the photo/album selection open. I can then point to the album in question and select the layout. This is real tangible progress.

The outstanding problem that I seem to have is that the blog post doesn’t display anything other than the post title. No content at all… even preliminary text that I had entered.

Once again, thank you for the response.

I must confess that I’m not sure where to go from here.

1. I am my own hosting provider and have done nothing to block SSL requests.
2. I’ve check .htaccess and the apache configuration file, but cannot see anything that would strip out the URL or block SSL requests
3. I don’t have any security plug-ins installed in WP as my site is housed within my LAN at home and not visible from outside (though it can obviously see outside).

I’ll have to play around some more but seem to have hit a wall at present.

Thanks for your rapid response.

I have followed the instructions and used the OAuth 2.0 Playground and successfully created a refresh token as suggested.
I have plugged this in to the Google settings for Photonic as suggested and it correctly displayed an authorisation screen for my account. That’s great progress.

I am still having a problem however and when I try to use a command such as "[gallery type='google' view ='photos' album_id='2019-04-11 Arundel Tulip Festival with Ellie']" I get the response: `”Failed to get data. Error:
Request is missing required authentication credential. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. See https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project.”`

Any help would be gratefully accepted !

Thanks for the quick response.

As you suggested I have deleted the transient from wp_options. Using phpmyadmin I deleted the row for _transient_expanding_archives_months. I then refreshed the blog page and the missing entries showed up. The cache was, indeed, the reason for my original issue.

The issue with non-expansion of some entries seems to have evaporated.

Ah ha… see https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/attachment/ticket/10332/functions.php.diff

and comment out the highlighted code. That solves the issue

Commenting out that code certainly works for me

I have the same problem
