Should this be picked up from a Google Photos album?

Yes, that is where it should come from – it is the title of the album itself. Is that not happening for you? This might be a quirk with your theme – not sure. Do your theme’s pages display the title of the page without using any other plugin? E.g. on your page for Salon Appearances, I am not seeing a title printed by the theme. Rather, what I am seeing is a title printed by Elementor. If your theme doesn’t print page titles, I have no way of helping out.

Basically, on your gallery page, instead of setting it up to have 12 individual galleries, you could make it one single gallery with 12 albums (similar to my example, where Sydney, Scotland and London are all pulled in one shot). Then, when each of those albums is clicked, it opens the new page with the respective title and photos.

I am not familiar with Forminator, and I haven’t come across any other posts on this forum regarding sites using both the plugins together.

That being said, most plugins are well-coded and don’t introduce conflicts on admin pages for other plugins. Conflicts of this sort of Photonic are extremely rare – I can’t recall the last time such an issue came up.

The simplest way to verify that the conflict is being introduced by Forminator is to do a “View Source” on the Photonic settings page, and see if there is any JS file from Forminator that is being included. If yes, you can ask the authors of that plugin to fix the issue.

If they are not able to fix the issue, your only solution is to temporarily disable Forminator while you make changes to options, and reactivate it once you are done.

Thanks for the troubleshooting and the details.

As a stopgap, please consider using a different lightbox from Photonic → Settings → Generic Options → Generic Settings → Inbuilt Lightbox libraries.

Can you try with a different lightbox, instead of GLightbox?

Can you provide me with a URL where this is happening? Generally this occurs due to a missing size – it is best to pick the setting that says “Largest” for the “Main Video Size”. Your profile seems to be protected, so I cannot see for myself what is happening.

Therefore, today I went a step further by looking and trying out the Workarounds but in that case your screenshots appear to be incomplete. What to do after going past Step 2 therein is not described and one fails to understand what next.

I am not following you. After step 2 in the workaround is step 3, where you are clicking on “Use your own OAuth credentials” and subsequently providing your OAuth Client ID and OAuth Client Secret. I have verified and re-verified that the screenshots are still the same several times.

Another potent problem is that Google has definitely changed the Screens (and in a few cases a few steps as well) and that leads to a different set of problems. A dumbo like me is left to guess what is what and so far I have managed to get it all right. But those are just guesses. But ideally, if you don’t mind, it is time now for you to change the screens of the Help Page with the latest (and in the process also add all those intermediate steps that Google has added) to make it easier on dumbos like us.

Please provide specific instances of where the screenshots are differing (along with screenshots). I will update them. I have run through the whole flow several times, and I see nothing that requires guesswork on the part of the users.

At the end of the day, setting up a project, setting up a client id etc. are not things unique to Photonic – they are unique to Google. If the documentation is lacking, maybe consider asking Google to provide the documentation? What I have provided is just because Google has zero documentation – I am happy to update my screenshots if you give me specific examples of differences, but a generic statement like “it is time now for you to change the screens” is counter-productive.

Can we do an AnyDesk type of Screen Share call wherein you get to see for yourself what’s the problem? We could schedule this at a time suitable to you.

No. This is way beyond the scope of forum-provided free support. In fact, this even goes beyond the scope of most options for paid support, unless you are paying huge amounts to commercial plugins.

But my very first problem, that of “No data was returned for user you provided. Please verify that the user has the content you are looking for.”, continues. I am unable to get Photonic to access my albums. However, Photonic is able to access my photos if I choose just Photos instead of Albums. This is a unique problem.

This is a problem unique to you / Google. I would suggest doing these:

1. Go to the official documentation site for Google: https://developers.google.com/photos/library/reference/rest/v1/albums/list
2. On the right side, you will see a section, “Try this API”.
3. Over there, make sure that the options, “Google OAuth 2.0” and “API Key” are both selected. Click on “Execute”.
4. You should get a response from Google. Provide me with that response.

Sir kindly help and oblige. Our site is down for almost a fortnight and I think that is terrible.

It is the end of the year vacation here, and I am still helping you out in spite of being on vacation, often responding to your queries within an hour of you posting them. Not sure how much more you are expecting from my side.
