Hi maulikvora,

I have written a PHP function to create photo albums. See this Gist. The point is, Easy Photo Album uses WordPress attachments for the images. So you have first to add all the images to wordpress and then you can create album.

In pseudocode:

foreach (folderwithphotos as folder) {
   open(folder)
   var image_ids = array();
   foreach (image in folder) {
       image_ids[] = wp_create_attachment(image) // I don't know if this is the right function
    }
    epa_add_images_to_album( getfoldername(folder), image_ids)
}

It could have something to do with the rewrite rules. It may help to click on the button Save changes on the permalink settings page.

PS. you can’t attach screenshots, you have to upload them somewhere.

I see it now, the title thing is my mistake. I’ll update it very quick.

Nice that you get rid of the meta data. Yes, it indeed might get lost on an update, but still it is the best way to do it.

You say you have a shortcode like [epa-album id="117" title="false" display="full"]. The problem is in the part title="false". This should be show_title="false". the whole shortcode becomes then [epa-album id="117" show_title="false" display="full"]. Did you enter this shortcode manually?

Besides that, I would like to point out that you can achieve the same results via an other way. You now have created some pages and added to each page a shortcode to display the album with the same name as the page.
An other option is to link directly to the albums. To do so, you have to edit your menu, so go to Appearance > Menus and click on screen options in the right upper corner. A box with some checkboxes will expand. Verify that the checkbox with the text Photo Albums is checked (If not, check it). Close the screen settings by clicking on screen options again. Now you should see Photo Albums somewhere at the left of the menu. Click on it and it will expand the list with photo albums. Select the photo albums you want an click add to add them to your menu. Now are the menu items directly linked to the photo album, without the use of a shortcode.

You use an other plugin than Easy Photo Album for the albums and the slideshows. This forum board is for questions about Easy Photo Album, so I can’t help you with your problem, because I don’t know how the plugin you use works. You may post your problem to the forum board of the plugin you are using.

Hi ebrown2600,

I run Easy Photo Album on a multisite installation and it works fine (on all the sites). Can you post a link, so I can investigate it?

Currently it isn’t possible to specify the order within a
shortcode. It may be in the future, but that is not a guarantee.?

That is very weird. Can you provide a link to a page with the included album? It could be that I see some things there.

Hi Sinnebril,

The first thing, edit the style of the view more photos button, is possible by adding some CSS to your theme. Probably something like this:

.easy-photo-album .more-link {
   font-weight: bold;
   /* More style rules */
}

I don’t know for sure if the selector .easy-photo-album .more-link is correct for your website, but you could give it a try.

Currently, there is no easy way to change the link text.

The second thing you point out makes sense. People are indeed used to click on the photos. This may be a feature for a future release of Easy Photo Album.

You have to edit your theme.
Please follow these steps:

1. Go to your theme directory and look for the file single.php.
2. Copy single.php to single-easy-photo-album.php
3. Open single-easy-photo-album.php
4. Look for the code that says “Filed under” and delete it
5. Save the file

Please note: when you update your theme, those changes will be lost.

There is already a page with all the photo albums, see the FAQ.

I’m sorry, but I can’t think of an other way to solve this problem. If you find a solution, please let me know.

What you might want to do is deleting Easy Photo Album and reinstall it.
Doing so would cause the following effects:

• Your Easy Photo Album settings (on Settings > Easy Photo Album page) will be restored to their defaults.
• Your photo albums will be restored, inclusive their own settings.

And, of course, hopefully the capabilities of epa will show up in the User Role Editor.

Sometimes I forget the most simple solution… ?? Thanks for sharing!

Hmm that is strange. Can you post a screen shot of the User Role Editor page? It seems that there are some problems with your capabilities.
