Nice idea. Could be very usable plugin, but has several errors, so functionality is broken. (WordPress 6.7.1, Block editor, theme ‘2024’).

1. Settings appears in Settings->Media, not as your manual says Settings->Writing (just confusing, not an error). (Settings: Block Editor: ON, Classic Editor: OFF. Posts: ON).
2. On front end post page Slider initially works, but breaks after Slider’s left arrow is clicked after any right arrow click. After such a click, both arrows disappear. Right click works as expected.? In DOM, after left arrow click, both arrows get style=”…, display:none” and are gone, so Slider stops functioning (but click on image for original still works). When the display:none is deleted, the arrow(s) reappear and function, but till the next left arrow click.
3. Browser reports errors on post page:? Uncaught ReferenceError: $galleryClassic is not defined … .block-editor-gallery-slider-front.min.js:1:3364

Is ‘classic’ option and wp < 5.8 creating more ‘incompatibilities’ than compatibilities? ??

Hey there;

I was getting a deprecation notice in the file class-begs-init.php. This is easily fixed by adding one line here:

<?php

namespace BEGS\Block_Editor_Gallery_Slider;

! defined( ABSPATH ) || exit;

if ( ! class_exists( 'BEGS_Init' ) ) {

	class BEGS_Init extends Block_Editor_Gallery_Slider {
        public $opt; // <-- this line added

Also, your plugin assumes that the global $post exists. If it doesn’t exist, it breaks with a javascript error that says “begs_options” doesn’t exist. This is fixed in the file class-begs-gallery-slider.php

There’s a lot of ways to fix this, mine might not be the best way, but here’s my solution:

		public function localize_front_control_options() {
			global $post;

			$post_classic_meta = array(
				'is_gallery_slider_enabled' => 0,
				'container_class_name'      => '',
			);


            $post_classic_meta = false;

            if (is_object($post)) {
    			if ( get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'begs_classic_gallery_slider_options' ) ) {
	    			$post_classic_meta = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'begs_classic_gallery_slider_options' )[0];
		    	}
            }

			if ( get_option( 'begs_disable_all_galleries' ) ) {
				$option_disable_all_galleries = get_option( 'begs_disable_all_galleries' )['selected'];
			} else {
				$option_disable_all_galleries = false;
			}

			wp_localize_script(
				'block-editor-gallery-slider-front',
				'begs_options',
				array(
					'option_disable_all_galleries'        => $option_disable_all_galleries,
					'post_classic_gallery_slider_enabled' => !empty($post_classic_meta) ? $post_classic_meta['is_gallery_slider_enabled'] : false,
					'post_classic_gallery_slider_container_wrap_class' => !empty($post_classic_meta) ? $post_classic_meta['container_class_name'] : 'slider-not-enabled',
				)
			);
		}

It would be great if these fixes could make it into the code. I’m not really sure the procedure to do so and my desire to remember how to use SVN is low, so I’ll leave those details to someone who’s already done it if that’s okay ?? Thanks for making the plugin, it has (largely) worked very well for me!

Hi! I am trying to use your plugin, but with wordpress 6 and the classic editor enabled I can’t find in my projects and posts the option to activate the slider. Can you help me? thanks
