No Gutenberg block for it so you can just insert the URL.

I don’t understand why anyone needs to use this plugin, that still requires several laborious steps back and forth from your google album, copying and pasting. You can do the exact same thing by copying and pasting it into “add media from URL” without the plugin. Plugins are supposed to be time savers, this one is not.

Thanks Developer!

Tested with WP 4.7.5 : Works fine !
Suggestions :
– Link in the caption : Optional (Caption with link/Caption without link)
– link to Google Photo page : Link to the photo / Link to the album of the photo
– copy the image into the medias library
Thanks !
I made the translation (French) of the plugin available on the WordPress site.

Exactly what I expected, ads embed for google photos. Doesn’t work in multisite well yet but hoping for an update!
