    I love this plug in. It took me a while to find it because I had been searching on “deep linking” and the listing only said “deep links.”?

    It took a while to figure out that the gallery has to be set to thumbnails, not slide show, for it to work.

    It would be nice if the share symbol could be removed. When I click it, nothing happens. 

    It would be nice to be able to set a maximum vertical size for thumbnail view.??Now that SSG is installed, the images are set to a standard width, not height, so many of them are way too large.?Before installing, vertical (portrait) image maximum height was set to the maximum landscape width.?

    I understand that I may be able to override this with?custom CSS. Since I have little experience with that, I have asked my webmaster to help. When I try to edit the gallery, I don’t even see the place where can deactivate the plugin for that particular gallery (as shown at https://roman-flossler.github.io/StoryShowGallery/wordpress/#cssclasses). ??

    Another big issue: as far as I can tell, whenever someone follows a deep link, it opens on a new page, and the entire gallery is loaded first, and since my gallery has over 1000 images, this makes the page load very slowly, so much so that unless this can be fixed/avoided, I can’t use this plug-in.

    Thank you for feed back, there are some solutions:

    • You can deactivate the share symbol in the SSG plugin configuration – first tab: Display social share icons
    • The gallery thumbnails are fully managed by WordPress, Story Show Gallery is just the lightbox which is displayed when you click on the thumbnail. You can use some other plugin to create thumbnails the way you want.
    • Deactivate SSG for particular gallery might be tricky, if you use the Gutenberg editor. You have to click on the right place, to select the gallery. When there is a border around all thumbnails, then you have selected the gallery and you can set nossg class to it.
    • Whether the deep link opens on the new page depends on the link parameter, it can’t have the parameter target=”_blank”. https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_target.asp
      For deeplinking within the same page is better to use class ssglink – it is described here – https://roman-flossler.github.io/StoryShowGallery/#classes
    • The gallery always initially loads only the first three images. When a user scrolls down on the second image, the fourth image is loaded. And so on. SSG never initially loads all images, it would be would be crazy.
