Insert your photos from Piwigo into WordPress
This feature has been expected for a long time and João C. proposes it with PiwigoMedia : WordPress users can easily insert photos from their Piwigo photo gallery into a blog post. Easily means :
- browse your gallery
- select photos
- click on the “insert into post” button
Note: PiwigoMedia is a plugin for WordPress, not for Piwigo
- Define the Piwigo URL, Piwigo can be on another server.
- when you edit your WordPress post, a new button appears to select photos from Piwigo
- select a category (an album), then one ore more photos and insert them into your WordPress post
- Photos from Piwigo are inserted as links into your WordPress post
PiwigoMedia is really simple to use and does the job the right way. As PiwigoMedia smartly uses the Piwigo web API, your Piwigo doesn’t have to be installed on the same server or in the same database. Your Piwigo can be installed on the other side of the planet!
that’s good!

[...] I’ve been doing improvements faster than I expected, thanks to the feedback I’ve been receiving (plg, from Piwigo team, even made an introduction with images). [...]

Sorry to read this jiechic! If your hosting provider replaces the page with an advertisement, I have no solution to avoid it!

Works beautifully in Firefox

In my second installation of this plugin, things have not gone so well.
ws.php shows up in the Visual editor as
http://thomasmaspoli.com/piwigo//ws.php
note the //ws.php
Where does one edit that address?

The double “/” should not be a problem. If you have any trouble with PiwigoMedia, I advise you to post a message on the PiwigoMedia topic of Piwigo forums.

Sorry, could not find this post when I found the solution – which of course was very simple – no trailing slash in address. Thanks.

Hi, Please Please Please add the ability to grab a random Piwigo Image from the site, and display a thumbnail in a widget? I’d love to run a ‘random image of the day’ widget and grab from my piwigo gallery in Wordpess.
as a secondary request, i’d love Piwigo accounts to communicate with WordPress accounts, so a user from my main site can carry the same account to piwigo.
but i’d most like to see random image widget functionality.
thanks for your hard work.

Hi Michael,
Sorry for this late reply. Displaying a random thumbnail from a remote Piwigo gallery is exactly what PiwigoPress plugin has been designed for http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/piwigopress/ (with a nice recent update)
