 * This is the shortcode that was provided. [cws_gpp_albums_gphotos access=own theme
   =’grid’ results_page=’results-grid’ show_title=1 show_details=1 num_results=6
   hide_albums=’Auto Backup,Profile Photos’]
 * I have the google API added and enabled. Nothing shows up when using this shortcode
   on a page.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshortcode-not-working-286%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Here also, installing the plugin and the google API credentials without a problem.
   
   Google Photo Album ID Helper is left blank no albums are shown in the list.
 * Anyone?

 * Hello,
    I was having the same problem for weeks. I ended up looking for an alternative
   that turned out to provide detailed documentation on authenticating with Google
   Photos. The step I was missing was enabling the “Photos Library API”. Once I 
   enabled that, the plugin started working for me. I recommend you take a look 
   there. If this doesn’t work out for you, here is the documentation that did it
   for me: [https://aquoid.com/plugins/photonic/google-photos/#api-key](https://aquoid.com/plugins/photonic/google-photos/#api-key)
