## Description

Display photos from the media library – which are organized into folders – as an
album using any gallery shortcode.

### Howto

 * Organize your photos in directories. Store the photos for each album in a subdirectory
   in the WordPress upload directory. You can use a [plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/media+library+folder/)
   to do this.
 * Import these photos to the Media Library. Maybe your plugin has this function
   too.
 * I use [Bulk Media Register](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bulk-media-register/)
   to import the photos to the Media Library, which I uploaded before with sftp.
 * Use the default `gallery` shortcode or install a plugin to display photos from
   Media Library, which has a shortcode for this, for example [Photonic Gallery & Lightbox for Flickr, SmugMug & Others](https://wordpress.org/plugins/photonic/).
 * Configure the name of this shortcode (default `gallery`) and the list option (
   default `ids`) in admin backend.
 * Write your shortcode as usual, omit the list option and use an extra option `
   path`.
 * `path` is a substring of the directory path, for example `holidays25/day1`.

## Installation

 * Install the plugin in the usual way.
 * Go to Settings – Media – Media Album – and get documentation and settings options.
