As a part of Five for the Future at WebDevStudios we get to work on Open Source WordPress projects every last Friday of the month all day, and as a result I was able to help the 7000+ Easy Photo Album get a working plugin.

Easy Photo Album is a plugin that I crossed while helping some users with this support request. I noticed that the plugin was old and hadn’t been updated in over 2 years! I tried to contact the owner for a few months, and finally we were able to work together to get the plugin updated at last!

1.3.6

1.3.6 features major updates to get the plugin working again:

• Major fixes to missing minified files (previously fixed in 1.3.5 but came back) and WP Media
• Simplified screen for creating Albums so Saving/Publishing is easier to understand
• Fixes to TinyMCE button/modal when no albums were created
• Can now organize Albums into categories called “Shelves,” props @kammak

Now on Github!

The plugins development is now on Github where other’s can contribute!

The Future

This plugin is used by a lot of people, so I would hope that I can help in contributing more! If you have any ideas or feedback, checkout the Support page on WordPress.org. This is why I love OSS!
