## Description

This plugin enables you to create and manage photo albums, just like posts.
 You
don’t have to change any theme files, the album displays nice right away. Photo’s
can be viewed in a **Lightbox**. The albums are **responsive** and you can choose
how may columns of images you want. The Lightbox displays the most large size possible,
resized to the current screen size. You can manage the order of the photo’s (very
easy with **drag and drop**) and tell your story in photo’s! You can now also **
insert your album** in a post or page.

So go ahead, and try it out!

  Installation Instructions

 1. Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory OR
     download, 
    upload and install .zip under Plugins > Add New > Upload.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to Settings > Easy Photo Album to review the default settings.

  Q: Where can I find the settings for this plugin?

A: You can find the settings under Settings > Easy Photo Album.

  Q: Where can I find information about the current version?

A: Read the about page by visiting the plugins page of your WordPress installation
and then click on the “About” link below Easy Photo Album.

  Q: I want to add a photo album to the menu. Where can I select the photo albums?

A: You have to check `Photo Albums` in the Screen options box under Appearance >
Menus

  Q: Can I add a description to a photo album?

A: No, you can’t. What you can do is include your album in a post or page with the`
epa-album` shortcode. Look for the button with the Easy Photo Album icon in the 
editor.

  Q: What is the syntax of the EPA shortcode?

A: Syntax: `[epa-album id="123" show_title="true" display="full"]`

 * Here is `123` the id of the photo album (you can get the id by editing an album
   and check the url for `edit.php?post=123`)
 * `show_title` can be `true` or `false`.
 * `display` can be `full` or `excerpt`.

  Q: How can I display all the photo albums?

A: _When you have enabled permalinks_: You can display the photo album archive by
visiting `example.com/albums/` (where `example.com` is your WordPress home URL).

_When you have NOT enabled permalinks_: You can display the photo album archive 
by visiting `example.com/?post_type=easy-photo-album` (where `example.com` is your
WordPress home URL).

  Q: The images are small; there is much more space, so how do I display larger 
images?

A: The image size is default `thumbnail`. So choose an other image size (`medium`
perhaps?) and it should display better. If not, you need to regenerate the images.(
for example with [this plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/))

  Q: Are there any plugins incompatible with Easy Photo Album?

A: So far, there are no reported issues caused by an other plugin. A small notice
when you use WP User Frontend: make sure the setting `Show Attachments` (under the
Others tab) unchecked.

### 󠀁[cannot be used anymore since WP 4.5](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-be-used-anymore-since-wp-45/)󠁿

 [birgithatzl](https://profiles.wordpress.org/birgithatzl/) September 3, 2016

This is a simple plugin which is exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately it
is not working anymore since WordPress 4.5. There is no possibility to add pictures
to your album. So it's more or less useless at the moment. Hope this will be fixed,
because the plugin itself is great.
