Gallery stopped displaying on mobile – My fix

Just a heads-up, maybe this fix will work for you.

I’m using FooGallery version 1.4.31 on WordPress 4.9.7 along with FooBox for displaying the images.

I was having a problem where my galleries were able to be viewed and edited within the back-end of WordPress, and were able to be viewed from the website on desktop browsers (sometimes they’d not show up), but were not showing at all on mobile. I was only getting a generic blank thumbnail image.

Before you start, just as a precaution, make sure you back up your site before doing any of this in case you have a malfunction of some sort.

I went into my Plug-ins and deleted the FooGallery plug-in as well as FooBox. I probably didn’t need to delete FooBox, but figured it couldn’t hurt. I then cleared any and all caches. I reloaded the site and made sure that no gallery was showing whatsoever.

I then went back over to the Plug-ins, re-downloaded both FooGallery and FooBox, and activated them.

I opened my galleries to verify they were all still there. When you delete the plug-in, most times (not all) they will leave the user data. I checked my settings for FooGallery and FooBox, then came the moment of truth. I launched my website on my mobile device and saw all of the photos in all of their glory.

I hope this simple reinstallation works for you.
