If you are using the “Add / Edit Photonic Gallery” button or the Photonic Gutenberg block you don’t need the album ids – the interface automatically takes care of it for you.
If you are not using the above for any reason, you can find the listing from Photonic → Helpers in your WordPress dashboard.
Several Months ago, you were able to provide me with a page that actually provided all of the galleries and the numbers. I need to hard code it because for some reason, not all of the galleries are showing up through the plugin.
Are you referring to this post? If it is the same user the exact link in that post will work, otherwise you will need to substitute the user id for the correct user id.
YES!!! thank you so much!!!
For some reason, it is not showing all of the albums using this link and/or going right through the plugin. Do you know why this might be?
Sorry, I didn’t follow you. Are you saying that in the shortcode when you include an album that you get directly via SmugMug, you are unable to see it via Photonic on the front-end?
How many albums have you got? When I access the SmugMug API link I see 87 (all of them show up in Photonic’s back-end on my local install). If you have got more than 87, it is likely that you have set up separate privacy controls around those albums.
No, when I am looking at https://api.smugmug.com/api/v2/user/ohshoot!albums?count=200 and it’s not listing all of the albums and galleries we have in her smug mug account.
I have also tried going through the plugin just using the “Add / Edit Photonic Gallery” button and when I go to “load more” albums, it just spins and spins, it doesn’t load all of the galleries/albums for me to choose which ones I want to display.
Do you know of a way I could resolve either of these things?
Thank you

If the SmugMug website itself is not getting you all the albums, you will have to raise this as a defect with SmugMug’s customer support. It might help if you are able to answer each of the following:
- How many albums are you expecting to see?
- How many are you actually seeing?
- Do you have any privacy controls around any of the missing albums? Basically when you go into the album in SmugMug and click “Customize”, you can check the “Visibility” settings for these albums. Are they Private or Unlisted? Can you make them public?
- Are you checking the API URL that I have provided from a browser where you have already logged into SmugMug?
Basically the plugin should show you whatever you are seeing via the API URL, so if you are not seeing all albums in your API URL, the right folks to help out would be the folks at SmugMug.
I have also tried going through the plugin just using the “Add / Edit Photonic Gallery” button and when I go to “load more” albums, it just spins and spins, it doesn’t load all of the galleries/albums for me to choose which ones I want to display.
When I go to the listing, I am seeing 87 albums in one shot. There is no “Load More” showing up, as all the albums that the API lists come up in one go. The only way you will see a “Load More” button is if you have more than 200 albums.
As I explained to you in your older thread, the only reason you get a spinning “Load More” is if you have a JavaScript conflict, or something is breaking in the back-end. What do you see when you open up the JavaScript console (Ctrl + Shift + I in Chrome on Windows, or F12)? Can you tell me what errors show up? Often this is simply a case of being on an old version of PHP. Which version are you on?
Are you able to list your albums under Photonic → Helpers → SmugMug? What happens when you click on the “More” button there?
Again, if you can answer the questions above, those will greatly help me direct my support better.
Thank you for your help. I looked at this API URL in various different browsers, including an icognito window and in each case I get a different list of albums.
I think I can gather what I need from this. Thank you for the suggestion.
One last question.
If I want to put in multiple albums, using the album ID number, what is the code for that
For example: This shows ONE Album. If I want to include multiple albums, how do I add additional albums?
[gallery type='smugmug' view='album' album='x7fFCH' headers='' nick_name='ohshoot' sort_method='Popular' title_position='none' layout='random' columns='4' popup='hide' ]
You can refer to the documentation for this.
