[NSFW] Google Photos not displaying on Android

    As of today (or recently) my photos aren’t showing when the site is viewed from an android browser. The gallery just spins. It still works great on Windows 10 browsers! It was working fine on phones, but isn’t now. I tried enabling chain queries, but that didn’t help (it wasn’t stopping them from loading before, but it was worth trying). I just get a spinning white box where the gallery should be. I have tested the issue on Chrome, Edge and Samsung browsers w/the same result. I am using the mosaic grid with a “more” button. I’ve been using these same setting successfully for a couple years w/out issue.

    If I use a phone emulator in dev tools on the windows chromium edge browser, the site loads fine, but on the actual phone does not. I have rebooted my phone to test. Same result.

    v 2.74 w/latest WP install. All themes, plugins up to date.
    Android v.10 on Samsung Galaxy9

    Any thoughts?

    Actually I am not seeing anything on a desktop either. The reason for this is you are caching your page’s markup. Google Photos’ URLs have a lifespan of about 30 minutes, so the content gets stale really quickly if you cache. You might have switched to caching recently, which is why your site was working earlier.

    You have a couple of options: either exclude this page (and any other page with Google Photos) from your caching plugin’s settings, or load your galleries using JS by setting the option Photonic → Settings → Advanced → Loading Mode to “JavaScript Mode”.

    That fixed it. I deleted the caching plugin. Thank you!
