Is there an ability to post a single photo from one of my Google Photos albums?
I will ask you the same question that I have asked others: why not use a native HTML img tag instead? That is a lot quicker (saves two calls to Google on the front end, and innumerable calls on the back-end) and also avoids the reliance on a separate plugin for a basic feature. Note that for videos too you can use the native WP video shortcode this way:
[video width="1920" height="1080" mp4="https://link-to-video-file-on-google-photos"][/video]
You can get the URL of the image / video by right-clicking on the full image or video in Google.
I probably should post on a separate topic regarding video, but I cannot get the video to load when viewing from the gallery anyways.
This is probably because your video might not be available in the default size. See this thread for a fix and why this is not in core.
That is an easy workaround. I guess I was being lazy / not thinking fully on the issue. I’ll give it a try and I bet that works.
tried this but it doesn’t work for img
@sy278,
Please start your own thread – this is a resolved thread from another user.
