I figured out how to “un-mark” it as resolved, as it certainly hasn’t been resolved yet. Hopefully that new patch you mentioned will fix it though.

Yes, I can verify. Though there have been two updates since Madalin’s response, neither of them have fixed the thumbnail problem. It’s still not working at all.

@madalin_themeisle Thanks for your response here! However, I just updated the plugin (which was apparently updated yesterday, so I assume it’s the next version you were talking about when you said the next update would fix the problem). However, still no thumbnails at all in the Google News feed.

Are you saying it’s the *next* update after this one which will restore thumbnails? Or was the update from yesterday supposed to do that but it just didn’t work?

Thanks for your help!

@madalin_themeisle OK, that’s great to know the fix is coming. I’ll update when the new version comes out. I appreciate your response!

I was able to roll back all the way to 3.2.4 (couldn’t roll back any further than that) and it *still* didn’t have thumbnails for Google news feed. (But rolling back that far introduced a couple small bugs… and since it didn’t fix the problem of no thumbnails, I updated to the current version again.) Any known way to fix that problem with no thumbnails on Google News Feed?

Thanks for the help – that shortcode does work great!

I’m running WordPress v 4.2.5 with Bold (from Elegant Themes) v 4.5 but with a few modifications a friend helped me make.

Plugins I have installed and activated are:

AddThis Sharing Buttons v 5.2.0
Akismet v 3.1.5
Another Random Posts Widget v.1.1.11
Easy Google+ Widget v 0.2.7.2
Flexo Archives v 2.1.5
Google Analytics by Yoast v5.4.6
jQuery Colorbox v4.6.1
Maintenance Mode v2.0
Photo Express for Google v 0.3.2
PicasaView v 1.1.6
Shashin v 3.4.11
Simple Google News v 2.1
Subscribe2 v8.9.1
Toppa Plugins Libraries for WordPress v 1.3.7 (I think this is needed for Shashin plugin)
Widget Logic v 0.57
Wordpress Importer v 0.6.1

I have no idea which of these plugins might be interfering with the Photo Express for Google shortcode, but if you have a guess, let me know. Also, I think with the shortcode you gave me, I can figure out how to manually create more to get all of my photo albums working well and I really appreciate all your help! But if you know a better fix so I don’t have to manually edit my shortcode, then that’s also great.

Hi thhake… so what’s happening with this? Have you figured it out at all?

It generates all of this (including the extra junk):

However, from past experience (using Picasa Google Plus Express plugin, before it stopped working)… just this part right here was enough to make it work, and the rest I just manually deleted so it didn’t look like a bunch of junk:

[peg-gallery album="https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/107120179579373387906/albumid/6030680875872555153?alt=rss&kind=photo" each="function each(iterator, context) { try { this._each(iterator, context); } catch (e) { if (e != $break) throw e; } return this; }" eachSlice="function eachSlice(number, iterator, context) { var index = -number, slices = []

Let me know what you think of this, and if you need me to post any more info or what to do about it all.

Thanks a lot! I’m looking forward to your next response, because I’m really hoping I can get that plugin working again (well, the new one working for the first time, that is).

How did you get your album to display correctly? I keep getting “invalid URL”

You can see the album on Google Plus here:

https://plus.google.com/photos/107120179579373387906/albums/6030680875872555153

Oh, and by the way, I went ahead and followed the process of OAuth too and everything seemed to work fine with that, but it still didn’t fix the problem of “No Valid URL”

Awesome! I re-uploaded (though for some reason it didn’t show as an “update” in the www.ads-software.com plug-ins page) and it’s now working great again! You’re definitely doing a great job with this widget and it’s by far the best of its type!

Awesome, thanks so much and I’m looking forward to it! I spent all day yesterday searching for a reliable replacement to yours, but no other plugins really even come close. I even thought of switching to a public Facebook feed, but again, no luck finding any that have the simple effectiveness of yours.

I’m looking forward to the update and I appreciate your hard work!
