Can't seem to get it to work

  • Hello Mark,

    I have been looking for a program like this forever. I have over 15,000 images, but I don’t want to dump them in the Media Library (GAH!).

    I’ve been looking for a script that reads a directory.

    Although, I think I am right in following your video (thanks for that), I must be getting confused with your root shell commands, which I will not touch.
    Are there other ways to insure I have the correct path without a shell account?

    I am able to to see the -zip/research- box but no images.

    This isn’t the directory I will use, but it’s at least a dir with sub dirs.
    gallery

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello gsbohn,

    I’m happy to help.

    Nothing needs to be run as root or even from the command line, if you choose. But you definitely need to get the correct path to your local image library entered in UnGallery. accurately as well as the new page created, and the permalink set. It’s usually just a matter of sync’ing up those fields with the paths on your host to activate the plugin successfully.

    Do you have an example UnGallery page link you can provide?

    Thanks,
    Mark

    So far, everything I see on your UnGallery side looks correctly configured.

    When I tried your URL + image directory (/Ancient), I noticed the error: “CACHE ERROR: Could not Create Directory “thumbs”

    This suggests a couple of things. UnGallery, like the other plugin generating that error, uses a thumbnail directory. It’s located at [WordPress Install]/wp-content/cache/. It may be having trouble creating or accessing it, which should not stop UnGallery from working though. It would just slow it down.

    A more likely issue is a conflict between UnGallery and another plugin, especially an image plugin. It’s worth disabling any others installed temporarily, to see if that corrects the problem.
