Popis

My WP Photos lets you display WordPress Photo Directory images on your site using either:
– the [wp_photo_directory] shortcode, or
– the WP Photos Gallery block in the block editor.

Both the shortcode and block support the same settings:
– username: wordpress.org username (required unless set as plugin default)
– count: number of photos to display (any positive number)
– columns: number of columns (1-6)
– aspect: image aspect ratio. options: square, landscape, portrait
– size: photo size from the directory. options: medium, large, thumbnail, medium_large, 1536x1536, 2048x2048, full
– random: set to true to randomize photo selection (not only most recent photos)
– show_caption: set to true to show each image caption/content below the image
– show_exif: set to true to show camera EXIF metadata below each image

Example shortcode:
[wp_photo_directory username=“mdburnette“ count=“24″ columns=“4″ aspect=“landscape“ size=“large“ random=“true“ show_caption=“true“ show_exif=“true“]

Default Settings

Admins can configure plugin defaults at Settings > My WP Photos. These defaults are used when shortcode/block attributes are not explicitly provided.

Editors can override any default at the shortcode or block level.

WordPress Photo Directory

This plugin uses the REST API provided by the WordPress Photo Directory to determine the author ID from the username and load the corresponding photo list. The directory can also be visited at https://wordpress.org/photos.

All photos are CC0 licensed. No rights are reserved, so you are free to use the photos anywhere, for any purpose, without the need for attribution.

Accessibility and Performance

Uses semantic list markup for gallery items.
Includes alt text fallbacks, lazy loading, and async image decoding.
Caches author lookups and photo API responses with transients.
Supports paginated requests so larger count values can exceed 100 photos.
Includes responsive column scaling so configured columns reduce on smaller screens.

Internationalization

Includes Text Domain and Domain Path metadata.
Includes a translation template at languages/my-wp-photos.pot.

Given that this is pulling data from an enormous pool, it’s surprisingly fast. I really like that you can choose things like columns, count, size, etc. Also really happy that it has both a block and a shortcode. Well done!
