I’ve wanted to make my blog posts more visual for a while but selecting good stock images takes time. Creating them takes even more time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, I decided to include an image from Pixabay<\/a> (with credit) in yesterday’s post as well as in the one that I’ve scheduled for after my return to work in January. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could quickly fill up my web space with images and I didn’t really want to expand my WordPress database with images either (they are currently hosted in a folder structure) but there is an option in WordPress to include media stored in Google Photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, my attempts to authorise access were met with a message about an “invalid\/missing request nonce” (whatever that is<\/a>). I tried another computer, in case the problem was related to cookies, or to restrictions on my work PC, but that was no help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I tried another route…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Logging into wordpress.com (even though my blog is self-hosted with wordpress.org) and managing the marketing connections<\/a> gave me an alternative interface to authorise WordPress with Google Photos. That then jumped into life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"WordPress.com<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After this, I could easily insert images from Google Photos into my blog posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And seriously, whoever decided that WordPress has something called a “nonce” should look it up in colloquial English<\/a>…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
