This plugin connects a Piwigo photo server to a content management system, allowing site owners to display external photo galleries. It is designed for users who manage their photos in Piwigo but want to present selected albums directly on their public website.

• Shortcode Integration: The primary method is the [piwigogallery] shortcode. You add this to any page or post, specify the Piwigo gallery URL, and the plugin handles the display.
• External Gallery Fetching: It pulls category and image data directly from your Piwigo application via an API call, so your photos remain managed in one central location.
• Frontend Presentation: After fetching the data, the plugin renders the photo gallery on the public-facing side of your site, integrating it with your theme's styling.
• Simple Configuration: Setup involves placing the shortcode with the correct gallery URL parameter. There is no complex backend interface or extensive settings to configure.
• Code Transparency: As an open-source project hosted on GitHub, the plugin's code is available for review, modification, and contribution by developers.
