    hello

    ive recently installed the plugin, and followed all of the instructions to get google albums/photos to display, however the album isn’t showing after selecting it from the ‘add/edit photonic gallery button’.

    When I click choose gallery source > google photos>type of gallery>pick your album, I can see the albums and photos have been pulled through correctly, which maybe means the set up was done correctly, however in the front end nothing shows, please help!

    Thank you

    I am not seeing any instance of a shortcode or block on your page.

    The shortcode has been generated and pasted in from the editor. But it’s almost ignoring it and just showing the text?

    Hi. I’m working on the same issue. The generated shortcode that is added on the page is:

    [[gallery type='google' view='photos' album_id='AFsD2xqNytfNicdj5TQcmdcMm21KzNWcwHnO_GyZ-iINOeT14StUC7-4amLTitrtws7MusfX6cvl' main_size='1600' layout='random'] type=’google’ view=’photos’ album_id=’AFsD2xqNytfNicdj5TQcmdcMm21KzNWcwHnO_GyZ-iINOeT14StUC7-4amLTitrtws7MusfX6cvl’ crop_thumb=’crop’ columns=’auto’ more=’test’ main_size=’1600′ thumb_size=’150′ show_gallery=’test’ layout=’square’]

    It looks wrong to me. It starts with two [[?

    On the frontend, we see this:

    [ type=’google’ view=’photos’ album_id=’AFsD2xqNytfNicdj5TQcmdcMm21KzNWcwHnO_GyZ-iINOeT14StUC7-4amLTitrtws7MusfX6cvl’ crop_thumb=’crop’ columns=’auto’ more=’test’ main_size=’1600′ thumb_size=’150′ show_gallery=’test’ layout=’square’]

    Tested – display all albums: [gallery type='google' view='albums']
    https://www.sikhhelpline.com/all-albums/

    Nothing showing.

    Hope you can let us know where we are going wrong.

    It is likely that your theme is overriding the gallery shortcode. One thing to try is:

    1. Go to Photonic → Settings → Generic Options → Generic Settings → Custom Shortcode, and put in photonic over there (by default this should be blank).
    2. Now, for the shortcode in your post you currently have this:
      [gallery type='google' view='albums']
      Replace it with this:
      [photonic type='google' view='albums']
    3. Save your post and retry seeing it in the front-end.
