原文外掛簡介
Import photos and videos from your Google Photos account and show them as responsive grid, masonry, carousel, and story galleries. Pick your media with Google’s official Photos Picker, save it to your own Media Library, then design the gallery in the block editor — block or shortcode.
Gallery for Google Photos | Documentation | Pricing | Support | Demo
Gallery for Google Photos publishes your Google Photos library without coding. Choose a layout, set responsive columns, add captions and hover effects, and open photos in a full-screen lightbox with video playback. Because the photos you pick are copied into your own Media Library, your galleries keep working even after your Google session expires.
Use it for photography portfolios, travel blogs, event recaps, real-estate listings, or client galleries. It works with any WordPress theme.

External Services
This plugin connects to the following external services. Understanding what is sent, and when, helps clarify how your data is handled.
Google Photos (Google OAuth 2.0 + Google Photos Picker API)
What it is and why it is used: This plugin is a Google Photos gallery. To let you pick photos and videos from your own Google Photos account and display them on your site, it connects to Google’s APIs on your server. This connection only happens after you enter your own Google API credentials (Client ID, Client Secret, Refresh Token) in the plugin settings and use the “Select Photos” flow; it is required for the plugin to function.
Which endpoints are contacted and what data is sent:
https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token — your Client ID, Client Secret and Refresh Token are sent to exchange them for a short-lived access token.
https://photospicker.googleapis.com/v1 — the access token is sent (as a Bearer token) to create a picker session, check its status, and list the media items you selected. The selected photos/videos are then downloaded to your own WordPress Media Library.
When it happens: only in wp-admin, triggered by an authenticated administrator connecting an account or clicking “Select Photos”. No data is sent from your visitors’ browsers, and the OAuth credentials/tokens never reach the frontend.
Your credentials and tokens are stored only on your own server (in your WordPress database) and are sent only to Google. This plugin does not transmit them to bPlugins or any other third party.
Google’s terms and privacy policy:

Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Google APIs Terms of Service: https://developers.google.com/terms
Schema.org vocabulary (https://schema.org)
What it is and why it is used: On the frontend the plugin outputs Schema.org “ImageObject” structured data (JSON-LD) for each gallery image so search engines such as Google can better understand and index your images (Google Images / rich results, improving SEO).
What data is sent: None. The address “https://schema.org” appears only as the standard @context identifier inside the JSON-LD markup — it is a vocabulary name, not a network request. The plugin does not connect to, load anything from, or send any data to schema.org. All image data stays on your own server.
