PWA+PHP is a lightweight solution for displaying your private (unlisted) and public Picasa Albums within Wordpress in your language using Fancybox, Shadowbox or Lightbox. The plugin provides a guided installer that helps you generate your gdata token and set display options for your albums.
PWA+PHP extends the capabilites of Picasa albums, allowing you to group albums by keywords in the title. Using this capability, you can create several photo pages in WordPress and show different groups of albums on each page. You can even allow users to download full-size copies of your images.
PWA+PHP's configuration options allow you to customize the look and feel of your albums, including thumbnail and image size, images per page, caption settings and display language, without modifying any code. The included CSS file can also be tweaked to your liking for an exact match with your existing website. The div-based layout is fluid and adjusts automatically to fit your theme.
Check out the demo to see the code in action.

PWA+PHP is not working with Lightbox, why?
Please use Lightbox 2 plugin by Rupert Morris, it provides the Lightbox effect and works as expected with PWA+PHP.
PWA+PHP is not working with Highslide, why?
Install Auto Highslide, it works as expected with PWA+PHP.
When I hover over an album, the detail overlay is either too big or too small. Why?
The CSS file that ships with PWA+PHP assumes an album thumbnail of 160px. If you change that size via the settings page, you may need to adjust the CSS settings by changing the 90% and 100% values on the a.overlay:hover line.
