Hi, why is after activating this plugin in a private server environment a cloudflare.com dependency on all gallery and non-gallery so pages. Hidden, external data relation is not nice for users?!
Thanks for explaining.
Hi,
I’m trying to set custom z-index value for each .polaroid-gallery-item but when I hover mouse on any item, it’s z-index gets reset.
How to set custom z-index value?
Basically my requirement is:
If I’ve 5 items, by default the 1st item gets z-index=901, 2nd item gets 902 … 5th item gets 905. Instead what I want is, 1st item should get z-index=905, 2nd should get 904 … 5th should get 901. That is: the first item should be on top instead of last item. Right now, I’m overwriting z-index value on page load as per my requirement. But when mouse hover event occurs the z-index value gets reset to default values.
Hi,
I’m having the same problem as many others here. In desktop version the gallery looks awesome but the mobile version just shows the pictures in one row without the polaroid effect. Unfortunately there is no public solution. Can you help?
Thanks!
]]>The image links and caption text work on desktop, but on mobile image links are not working and image title is shown. Is there any solution for this?
]]>I tweaked this a little to make it output polaroids as the featured image thumbnail for my blog page. You can see an example of this in action at:
https://www.shrouded.space/index.php/essays/
On to how I did it. I put the following code in my theme functions.php file. This function outputs the caption for the featured image so that the polaroid has a proper caption.
/*
* ==================================================
* FEATURED IMAGE CAPTION
* ==================================================
*/
function the_post_thumbnail_polaroid_caption() {
global $post;
$thumbnail_id = get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID);
$thumbnail_image = get_posts(array(‘p’ => $thumbnail_id, ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’));
if ($thumbnail_image && isset($thumbnail_image[0])) {
echo ‘<span>’.$thumbnail_image[0]->post_excerpt.'</span>’;
}
}
Next I added this to my theme. I put it in the content.php file, but you could really put it anywhere, so long as it is inside the loop. I had mine float left so that it’s next to the summary and meta information for each article.
<div class=’polaroid-gallery post-featured’ style=’width:200px;’>
” title=”<?php the_post_thumbnail_polaroid_caption(); ?>” class=”polaroid-gallery-item showcaption no-lightbox”><span class=”polaroid-gallery-image” title=”<?php the_post_thumbnail_polaroid_caption(); ?>” style=”background-image: url(<?php echo the_post_thumbnail_url( ‘thumbnail’ ); ?>); width: 150px; height: 150px;”></span>
<br style=”clear: both;” />
</div>
I’m having the problem that the plugin doesn’t work for me at all. It will work on the default theme, and the default WordPress gallery will work, but on my custom theme there is nothing but a blank space when I use Polaroid Gallery. I’m assuming it’s because I’m not loading something it needs? Do you have any ideas?

]]>Hi,
I created a new website which makes intensive use of the Polaroid Gallery plugin:
https://www.klein-aber-fein.de/lgb/
In the plugin’s own option settings page, I selected
Image Sizes: Full size
Since all pictures used have been scaled to a native size of 800 x 532 pixel, I would expect that this would be the size an image is zoomed up to when clicking on a thumbnail. However, Polaroid Gallery is displaying the pictures larger than that (approx. 882 x 582 pixel), thus causing a loss of sharpness in detail.
According to my opinion, the image size option “Full size” should result in zooming to exactly the native resolution of any image, not larger, not smaller. I’d be happy to see that issue fixed in one of the next plugin versions. Thanks!
Greetings,
Ralph
Hello !
all my small pictures float left… but i need them center….
i read a topic but it not work…
can somebody help me?
thx
]]>Hi again,
I’d like to propose two more user configurable options in order to make the plugin much more useful:
1) In “Thumbnail text settings”, please add an option to change the font size (like “small”, “medium”, “large”). Currently, the “handwriting” font used is very nice, but also very large, so that most caption texts are too long to fit in the one line under the polaroid thumbnail. Re-writing (i.e. abbreviating) truncated caption texts may be very time-consuming, it would be much more comfortable to make room for some more text by just changing the font size in the plugin options…
2) Also in “Thumbnail text settings” and “Image text settings”, please add options to use the “alternative text” instead of the “caption text” of any given image. I (and others) prefer to use different text strings in these different fields, so it would be great to be able to specify the field to be used here instead of having to change some (or many) image descriptions manually just to please the Polaroid Gallery plugin… ??
Thanks a lot,
Ralph
Hi,
I tried out Polaroid Gallery and I really, really like the look of the Polaroid style galleries it produces. Great!
However, the fancybox/lightbox feature that enlarges immages with a zoom effect animation when you click on a thumbnail does only work in WordPress galleries, but not in single images that were inserted in a post or page without using the gallery feature. If you click on one of these single thumbnails, the large version linked to it is popping up immediately, but without any fancybox animation effects and without any navigation elements. It’s just the same standard behaviour as without any fancybox plugin installed.
This prevents me from using the Polaroid Gallery plugin in any of my WordPress installations: I’d really like to use it for galleries consisting of two or more images, however individual images outside galeries just have to be handled in the same way, i.e. with all the fancybox effects as well. I think that most (if not all) other users would appreciate if you could fix this annoying issue…
Thanks,
Ralph
Just building this site now. The desktop version looks like it will work great!
I have read in the support that the styling is different for mobile. I am using the repsonsive option so have one column in mobile view but would like the desktop styling and font to be used in the mobile view – can you help with that please?
I am using another plugin (WP Gallery Custom Links) to make links from the polaroids to site pages rather than attachment pages or the media itself. That works on the desktop view but on iPhone (for example) the link doesn’t work (nothing happens). Can you please advise?
The first of my images in mobile view is displaying the image name rather than the caption. I can change the image name but it looks like a bug I wondered if you could please look at that also?
Many thanks.
]]>Hello,

I have reset the settings and cleared my cache. It goes away sometimes but then comes back.

]]>Hello,
We love this plugin and the your efforts to keep it free and functioning. We would like to know if we can get your help to add some new features to it.
1. We have a gallery of about 100 images that we want to display in random blocks of 5 images in the footer of each page.
2. We would like to have the Caption or Description text display in the lightbox.
3. We would like to be able to link the image to a post.
Of we understand this requires development. We have a developer on hand, but we would like you collaboration so that the improvements can be used by everyone.
Please let me know if we can work on this asap.
Thanks,
Netivity

if it possible to get (buy) your glugin for my Customer?
I create a Website for my customer and he want your Plugin. If it possible to get a license ?
Sorry for my english…..
]]>Hi all
I’m struggling myself to find a solution about the mobile version. Basically I would like to see the same polaroid effect even via smartphone and not only on desktop. I understand why devs did this choice, but atm all smartphones are quite big and with nice resolution and also the polaroid effect is super awesome.
I’m not skilled enough for fix it by myself, but I have noted the php devoted for the detect and the special css only for mobile devices. How can I fix it and force it to work only with desktop version? If I force “desktop mode” on Chrome, the user experience is still super smooth.
Thanks
Luca
I use the plugin as a overview of different galleries (i.e. I have five polaroid pictures and everyone links to a different site. It works like a charm on my desktop but not on mobile phones. In the mobile version the links don’t work. it only shows the pictures without the links and without the polaroid effect. it works when you request desktop version though..
Any ideas?
thank you very mutch for your help!

]]>I currently use the latest release of jQuery (1.11.3 and 2.1.4) but this causes issues with the Polaroid plugin in that it uses the $.browser property that’s no longer included in jQuery. I know there are ways around this but it does mean the plugin doesn’t work straight out of the box.

]]>Hi there,
I use the polaroid gallery on the homepage. It is responsive, but when i open the site on my mobile (android) I lose the polaroid effect. I think you see the same image as when you click on the polaroid in the normal site. Any ideas how to edit to make it smaller ?
]]>I′ve put in the option Custom text for “Image” my own.
Its in general woking, but on my iPhone the Thumbnail and the Picture text is the name of the Picture. Doesn′t matter wich settings i use in the settings page from the Gallery. Text, #, no text… it′s everytime the name of the Picture.
for centering the Gallery in the last version 2.5.1 i′ve put in the polaroid_gallery.css:
.polaroid-gallery {
clear: both !important;
position: relative !important;
margin-top: 50px !important;
margin-right: 100px !important;
margin-left: 100px !important;
all other options was not working for me.
]]>Dear developers,
We use for our page https://www.fernmeldemuseum-dresden.de the Polaroid Gallery as ourselves the possibility of the caption at the bottom of pictures like. On pages that have only 1 image (Gallery with 1 column), the tilted appearance doesn’t look good however. How can we adjust the angle? Or is it possible to fix these at 90 ° for one picture or the first picture? It might be also possible with a 90 ° angle and the even-numbered differently to represent all odd-numbered pictures. We would be very grateful for a solution.
Sincerely, the telephone collectors from Dresden.
PS: Sorry for our bad english, we are german speakers ??

]]>I made all the updates and I have now the following problem: If you click on a picture from the Polaroid Gallery, this picture opens twice. Once as Polaroid picture and on top of it as NexGEN Gallery picture. Can you help me?
]]>Hi,
first of all, thats a beautiful plugin! But since the last update few weeks ago, I have some troubles with the loading time from my galleries in chrome (Version 38.0.2125.122). The pictures will be loaded, but it takes over a minute (sometimes two minutes).
With Firefox (Version 32.0.3) and Safari (Version 7.1 (9537.85.10.17.1)) works the plugin perfect! Fast and smoothly!
I have checked my plugins in WordPress and deactivate all plugins except Polaroid Gallery and the problem is still existing (anyway, I’m only using a handful plugins, more for security).
I have just few plugins in chrome installed (AdBlock-Plus, Pinterest and Evernote). I have deactivate all of them, but the problem is still existing. ??
I have deactivate my local firewall Little Snitch (I’m using a mac), but the problem is still existing.
I’m going crazy, whats wrong with my chrome? Anybody with the same problems?
Regards,
Mika
Hello !
