So I just discovered the PiwigoPress<\/a> plugin for WordPress.
While it’s obsolete and the widget no longer works, the “short code” feature still does. Unfortunately it’s not very well documented, but it is possible to add pictures to an article which link back to not only the picture, but also the album which that picture is part of.

Trawling through the source code<\/a>, it seems the following is possible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[PiwigoPress id={<pic_id>,<pic_id>,...} lnktype=albumpicture url='http:\/\/gallery.lemmurg.com\/']<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\nExpand Parameters Table<\/span>

Additionally, it’s possible to control the layout of the embedded pictures by providing custom CSS for PiwigoPress<\/code> tags as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.PiwigoPress_photoblog {\n      display:inline-block;\n      padding-right:10px;\n }\n .PWGP_shortcode {\n      display:inline-block;\n }<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
