For those who are interested in kPicasa but are still running PHP4, you can check out kPicasa Gallery PHP4MOD. It’s a PHP4 port of the regular kPicasa, made by David Trattnig.

Great work David!

I released a new version for those who reported connection errors since 0.1.0. The routine handling the connection to the Picasa server wasn’t as smart as it should have been. If you didn’t have any problem, there’s no need to update.

Someone emailed me saying that he didn’t see the kPicasa Gallery menu in the Admin / Options page. Is there anyone else experimenting this problem?

With this new version, I’ve virtually implemented every single request that I received. Those that I left off will never be included. Here are the new features:

• Improved error messages. Now the error message really explains what happened;
• Easier to visually customize via a CSS file, instead of inline styling;
• Ability to display galleries from more than one Picasa account, each in a different page/post (this is for an advanced usage, and will not really be documented);
• New options to change the number of albums to display per line, and the number of pictures per line;
• Now displays the album description if it exists;
• It is now possible to not use any engine to display the full-sized picture. This is, for example, for those who already have Lightbox installed via another plugin.

Get it from WordPress.com

As usual, I don’t have access to many different platforms to test so keep me informed if you find any bug!!!
