bug? after adding new grid, impossible to use other grids for galleries

  • What a beautiful plugin with so many features – unfortunately since creating a new grid I cannot change the grid of galleries anymore, and grids in different posts are all shown in the same grid in spite of different settings.

    After I added a new grid that I made with the editor (amazing how intuitive the user interface is, I love it!) and changed the format of one image gallery to this new grid using the dropdown menu in “Edit post”, all other galleries in other posts or on other pages were also suddenly displayed in the new grid. They looked like the new grid although in the “Edit post” menu, the previous grid (News) was still listed.
    Moreover, I could not correct these changes because it is now not possible anymore to change the grid for any of the galleries. I can select a different grid in the dropdown menu but this does not have any effect.

    The only solution for me to get rid of the new grid was to delete it (in the WP Tiles settings, Grids, list). However, after that the plugin picked the grid at the top of the list and transformed all posts into this format, again ignoring the grid that I had specified in the menu. I went on to delete all grids and then step by step add new ones, but the galleries seem stuck with the one on top of the list.

    I have to say that I do not know how to work with shortcodes. All I did was to add a gallery and click the check for “tiled gallery”.
    Creating a new grid seems to have removed my ability to change the grid of galleries using the dropdown menu, and to have different grids in different posts. This seems to be a bug, so I wanted to leave a report. I will post if I find a work-around.

  • Having same problem using the lovecraft theme . . . . . very frustrating.

    Love the ability to create custom grids, but if the new grid overrides all other grids used in the site it defeats the purpose!!

    Would love to hear about any solutions out there.

    Same problem here – plugin version 1.1.1
    As soon as you add a new grid every shortcode wp-tiles will use the new grid – it doesn’t matter what grid you actually tell the shortcode to use.
    When you delete the created grid, then the next grid is used – everywhere.
    It seems this happens after an upgrade of WordPress to 4.5.1 or 4.5.2 …

    My current workaround to enable our site to use more than one grid type is to change the breakpoint to 0 within the shortcode for each grid.

    The shortcode then looks something like this:

    [gallery tiles="yes" grids="Mobile" small_screen_grid="Mobile" breakpoint="0" image_size="large" link="none" ids="766,767"]

    This seems to fix the issue, and I’m just hoping it won’t create any unintended consequences.

    wow, thank you! that works!
    If you have not used the breakpoint parameter in your posts and pages then it is enough to adjust it in the settings of WP-Tiles:
    in the section Grids (not the definition of the grids) you either switch off the option “Different grid on small screens?” completely or at least set the breakpoint there to 0.
    The effect is, that the grid layout will no longer change when the user uses a very narrow window or a phone for looking at your site.
    thank you again – that is at least for now a good way to deal with it!

    I’m having the same issue. I’ve been using this plugin on various sites and now I’m trying it out on a new site and I created a new grid arrangement. It’s not coming up as the layout I created. I used the solution above (breakpoint=0) and hallelujah, it worked!

    Thank you!
