It adds support for several new sources and parameters to enhance the content and look-and-feel of your galleries. It supports <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\">Flickr<\/a> photos, Albums (Photosets), Galleries and Collections, along with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/photos.google.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\">Google Photos<\/a> photos and albums, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/smugmug.com\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\">SmugMug<\/a> folders, albums and images, and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/zenfolio.com\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\">Zenfolio<\/a> photos, Photosets and Groups. You can also set up authentication so that visitors can see private and protected photos from each provider.<\/p>\n<p>When used without the Gutenberg editor Photonic by default overrides the <code>gallery<\/code> shortcode. In case you happen to be using a theme or plugin that already overrides the <code>gallery<\/code> shortcode, Photonic provides you with the option to use your own shortcode for Photonic galleries. This lets your plugins coexist. Bear in mind that if you deactivate Photonic you will have to remove all instances of this custom shortcode, something that is not required if you stick to the <code>gallery<\/code> shortcode.<\/p>\n<p>When used with Gutenberg Photonic creates no shortcodes, rather it creates blocks. If some of your posts were written with Gutenberg and some without, Photonic supports both scenarios.<\/p>\n<h3>Lightboxes<\/h3>\n<p>Of all plugins free or paid, Photonic has support built in for the highest number of lightbox scripts. This includes scripts that run on pure JavaScript without relying on external libraries, or those that require jQuery.<\/p>\n<h4>Pure JS Libraries<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/feimosi.github.io\/baguetteBox.js\/\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\">BaguetteBox<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/henrygd.me\/bigpicture\/\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\">BigPicture<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/biati-digital.github.io\/glightbox\/\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\">\u201cGie\u201d Lightbox (GLightbox)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lightgalleryjs.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\">LightGallery<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/dimsemenov\/PhotoSwipe\/tree\/v4.1.3\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\">PhotoSwipe v4<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/photoswipe.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\">PhotoSwipe v5<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nextapps-de.github.io\/spotlight\/\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\">Spotlight<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/veno.es\/venobox\/\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\">VenoBox<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>jQuery Based Libraries<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/jacklmoore.com\/colorbox\/\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\">Colorbox<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/fancyapps.com\/fancybox\/\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\">Fancybox2<\/a> \u2013 not GPL, so the script is not included with the plugin.

As a result, Photonic no longer works for Instagram photos. The code is still in place though, and can be used by someone with a business wishing to adopt it.<\/p>\n<h4>Native WordPress Galleries<\/h4>\n<p>Your existing galleries are left intact. However you can add a <code>style<\/code> parameter to a native gallery to open it up to Photonic. The <code>style<\/code> parameter can take any of the values documented on the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/aquoid.com\/plugins\/photonic\/layouts\/\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\">Layouts<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Photonic Goodies<\/h3>\n<h4>Gallery Wizard<\/h4>\n<p>The WordPress Classic editor shows up with a button that says \u201cAdd \/ Edit Photonic Gallery\u201d. Clicking on it launches a wizard that helps you interactively build out a gallery with just a few clicks.<\/p>\n<h4>Gutenberg Support<\/h4>\n<p>The Gallery Wizard can be accessed via Gutenberg \/ the Block Editor as well. While creating a block, just look for Photonic. Please refer to the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/aquoid.com\/plugins\/photonic\/gutenberg-support\/\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\">documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Video Support<\/h4>\n<p>Photonic provides gallery and lightbox support for <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/aquoid.com\/plugins\/photonic\/videos\/\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\">videos as well<\/a>. Videos of the following sorts are supported:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>External videos from YouTube or Vimeo can be opened in any of the lightboxes apart from Image Lightbox, Thickbox or BaguetteBox<\/li>\n<li>Self-hosted or external videos in MP4 formats can be opened in any of the lightboxes apart from Image Lightbox, PrettyPhoto, Strip or Thickbox<\/li>\n<li>Videos hosted by external service providers (Flickr, Google etc.) can be opened as a part of a gallery in any of the lightboxes apart from Image Lightbox, PrettyPhoto, Strip or Thickbox.

Google Photos\u2019 API has several shortcomings, primary among them being the high number of API calls required to fetch a gallery. This would cause API keys to routinely hit their limits if they were being used for too many galleries. This makes it impossible for developers to authenticate users using their API keys without signing up for the Google Partners program. Unfortunately Photonic\u2019s design is not one of the use cases supported by the Partners program.<\/p>\n<p>As a net result, to prevent users from getting locked out using Photonic\u2019s API key, it is an unfortunate requirement that users use their own key. And this is where Google makes things needlessly complicated. Photonic\u2019s documentation is very comprehensive with instructions on how to authenticate, but that doesn\u2019t change the fact that Google\u2019s process is convoluted.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<dt id=\"after%20all%20the%20pain%20i%20got%20google%20photos%20working%20yesterday%2C%20but%20today%20my%20galleries%20don%27t%20show%20up.%20why%3F\">\n<h3>After all the pain I got Google Photos working yesterday, but today my galleries don\u2019t show up.

If such a situation arises, please report it in the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/plugin\/photonic\/\" rel=\"ugc noopener\">Support Forum<\/a>, and disable the visual editor capability for the shortcode by specific post-types (<em>Photonic \u2192 Settings \u2192 Generic Options \u2192 Generic Settings \u2192 Disable Visual Editing for specific post types<\/em>). If that doesn\u2019t work, you can go thermonuclear on Photonic\u2019s visual editing (<em>Photonic \u2192 Settings \u2192 Generic Options \u2192 Generic Settings \u2192 Disable shortcode editing in Visual Editor<\/em>) \u2013 you will still be able to edit the shortcode using the Text Editor in WordPress.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cMosaic\u201d layout may sometimes show 1px wide gaps between images if you set the padding between images to 0. This happens due to rounding errors in the height and width calculations.

The setup is intuitive, and the documentation is thorough, making it easy to customize and enhance the visual appeal of my galleries.<\/p>\n<p>What really stands out, however, is the stellar support. Sayontan Sinha, the developer, is a master of his craft, offering 10\/10 support every time I\u2019ve had a question or needed assistance. His responsiveness and expertise in addressing issues and implementing new features go above and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a reliable, well-supported plugin to enhance your site\u2019s media galleries, Photonic is the perfect solution.
