After switching from PHP7.4 to PHP8 the plugin shows the following error: Error of type E_COMPILE_ERROR caused on line number 67 of file: /wp-content/plugins/google-picasa-albums-viewer/includes/api-libs/Google/Utils.php. Error: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported After replacing line 67 of file: /wp-content/plugins/google-picasa-albums-viewer/includes/api-libs/Google/Utils.php to $ordinalValue = ord($str[$ret]); the error was resolved 😉
