In reply to: [Embed Picasa Album] Google Photos APIHi Peter
It seems that Google closed all possible ways to use its serevices via 3rd party, look closer at auth section of link you have provide:
Note that the Library API does not support service accounts; to use this API, users must be signed in to a valid Google Account.

In reply to: [Embed Picasa Album] All albums at once on one page with pagenumberTechnically it is possible to do, but will have impact on your site performance, just imagine with that thing you must get every feed each time page loads, it will be N times slower than for one album. There is no other way, you must get all photos to calculate pages.
If you are just want to speed up creation of album pages in your WordPress site there is a chance that you can do it programmatically, e.g. get list of your albums and create pages\posts for each with embedded shortcode – if it is a case probably it will be much better to just automate it.

In reply to: [Embed Picasa Album] Lightbox Plugin RecommendationThank you for your suggestion, probably I should change plugin description.
Plugin it self does not making any assumptions about what plugins you are going to use and by default displays simple links to images. Most of plugins like lightbox that you have mentioned catch such links and makes popups from them. But there may be cases when lightbox like plugin will ask you to provide some specific html markup for it to work, for example it wish to see anchors with specific class. In that cases all you need to do is to implement custom template with such markup and you are ready to go. And what is more important if somewhere in the future you will change your lightbox plugin to another you always will be able to just change template to fit new requirements without changing any pages.
Oh yes, that is yet another trouble with hosting on Windows.
Could you please verify is php_openssl.dll module enabled in your installation? Without it you will have many problems in future.
And yes you are correct about curl but it also depend on openssl library it is never ending fight between windows and linux worlds )

In reply to: [Embed Picasa Album] PHP Warning: file_get_contents() ErrorMake sure that your album is publicly available, otherwise it wont shown up.
To verify that – just try to open link from error message in your browser.

In reply to: [Embed Picasa Album] PHP Warning: file_get_contents() ErrorCan you please check does allow_url_fopen is turned on (Its will be under server settings \ PHP Manager \ Manage all settings) or if you do not use PHP Manager it can be found in php.ini.

In reply to: [Embed Picasa Album] PHP Warning: file_get_contents() ErrorOh, I see, it seems that you have very strick hosting environment. Can you please ask your hosting to look at this error – they should be able to fix that.

In reply to: [Embed Picasa Album] loop-picasa.php in child theme folderHi Peter
Yep it seems that you are right I was using get_template function.
In the case a child theme is being used, the directory name of the parent theme will be returned. Use get_stylesheet() to get the directory name of the child theme.
So changed to get_stylesheet, and released new 1.2.2 version, hope all will work now for you

In reply to: [Embed Picasa Album] Show photo comentsYep, all you need to do is copy loop-picasa.php file from plugin folder into your theme folder and then you can change plugin output to whatever you want.

In reply to: [Embed Picasa Album] Open in Slideshow?Plugin it self does not use any lighbox/slideshows just because there is huge amount of them in other plugins and themes. So it does not struck you. You can try install plugin like ‘Lightbox’ which will chichi you what you want.
Hope that helps
I definitely should release next minor version with some cleanup and some kind of alert inside WordPress so people know what to do and how make things working again
