 * Hi,
 * Given how fully featured this plugin is, I was surprised to find two shortcode
   views missing which I would have thought to be fairly basic: single image thumbnails
   and album content covers. Both represent views I use pretty regularly.
 * Single image thumbnails: This would be a shortcode to a single photo which would
   display the thumbnail in the post or page, then would show the full image when
   clicked. Right now I’m rendering these manually using [<img src=”path/to/thumb” />](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/additional-shortodes-1/path/to/full/image?output_format=md).
 * Album content covers: This would be a shortcode showing all the images in an 
   album in the same format as you currently have for album covers, with the name
   and description and the thumbnail, again showing the full image when clicked.
   Previously I had manually built tables to show this, but recently I’ve been converting
   those to slideshows instead. I would much prefer this format, though.
 * Am I just missing the codes that would give me these?

 * 1. I could add the feature to use the thumbnail image file – if it is large enough–
   in the ‘single photo’ display ( `[wppa photo="123" size="120"][/wppa]` ). ??
 * 2. There is the thumbnail display type ‘like album covers’. I can imagine you
   do not want that to be used systemwide, but in combination with the shortcode`[
   wppa_set ...][/wppa_set]` you should be able to do this on an incidental basis.
   Example:
    – Tick the box in Table IX-A7: **Enable inline settings**. – Make sure
   Table IX-A8: **Runtime modifyable settings** contains at least: wppa_thumbtype(
   should be there by default ). Use this in your page:
 *     ```
       [wppa_set name="wppa_thumbtype" value="ascovers"][/wppa_set]
       [wppa type="thumbs" album="123"][/wppa]
       [wppa_set][/wppa_set]
       ```
   
 * On responsive themes use: `value="ascovers-mcr"`

 * Why does **bold** and _italic_ sometimes no longer work on the forum? When your
   backticks are out of sequence…
 * Ignore this post.

 * Thanks for your feedback.
 * 1. There doesn’t seem to be any clickthrough to get to the full image in the ‘
   single photo’ display. Is there a way to enable that? If so, sounds like the 
   method you propose would work.
 * 2. Ah, yes. That gave me exactly what I was after. Thanks.
