Default Gallery Settings no longer working

    Our default gallery setting is no longer pulling through when creating new galleries.

    Can you advise Brad if this is a known issue?

    We have just had 200 galleries created before anyone noticed so we have a big job now to go back and change.

    Cheers

    Same here, it’s very frustrating because now there are numerous new tabs of settings to wade through for additional changes.

    This has been fixed in V1.4.5.

    Would you please update and confirm that it is working for you?

    Hi Phil,

    All working now at least for the creation of new galleries.

    Other than manually editing, is there anyway of ammending the 400+ galleries that were created in between where the default settings were not picked up.

    Would an SQL S&R perhaps work?

    Cheers

    hi Steve,

    You could do this with some SQL for a bulk operation. But please be cautious on a live site!

    The settings post meta key is _foogallery_settings. So if you got the value for a gallery that had the correct settings. eg. for gallery with ID 111:

    SELECT meta_value from wp_postmeta where post_id=111 and meta_key='_foogallery_settings'

    Then you could override the galleries with the incorrect settings using some more SQL together with the result from the above query. For galleries from id 120 to 200 for example:

    UPDATE wp_postmeta set meta_value='YOUR SETTINGS FROM ABOVE QUERY' where meta_key='_foogallery_settings' and post_id >= 120 and post_id <= 200

    PLEASE TEST THIS! I have not tested this and you should do it on a staging site before you do it on your production website

    Hi Brad,

    Thanks for your response. We ran a nice bit of search & replace which has worked well.

    I dont know what the most galleries any users have but we are now pushing over 4300 galleries with around another 1500 to go.

    I note the Nextgen importer is now also working for us which always fell over before. Did you ever get anywhere for replacing NextgenShortcodes with FooGallery?

    Cheers

    hey Steve,

    Glad you came right with the search and replace. I am marking this thread as resolved in that case.

    I have not heard of anyone with more galleries than that! That is pretty incredible.

    I have plans to build in a shortcode replacer for the NextGen import. That is on the cards once this big update has settled down.

    Thanks for your support!
