## Description

The Embed Piwigo plugin adds support for embedding photos from whitelisted [Piwigo](https://piwigo.org/)
websites.

This means that you can add the URL (a.k.a. ‘web address’) of a photo in a Piwigo
site to a WordPress post or page, and a medium-sized, centered image will be inserted
in its place.

The standard WordPress captioning system will be used (as for the [Caption Shortcode](https://codex.wordpress.org/Caption_Shortcode)),
with the photo’s title, date, and description added if they’re available for a given
image.

For example, if you have `https://piwigo.org/demo` in your Piwigo site URLs list,
and add the following URL on its own line in a post or page on your blog:

    ```
    https://piwigo.org/demo/picture.php?/1382/category/111
    ```

then a photo of a mountain in Kerzers will be inserted, with the caption _“Colline
de Chiètres (May 6, 2016)”_. The date format will match whatever your WordPress 
installation is configured to use.

## Installation

Install this plugin in the normal way.

Then go to the “Settings”  “Writing” page in the WordPress admin area, and list 
your Piwigo site URLs in the new “Piwigo site URLs” field.

Note that trailing slashes on the URLs do not matter, and can be added or not as
you prefer.

## FAQ

A single option is added, called `embed-piwigo-urls`, and no modifications are made
to the database structure.
