Issue with galleries and buttons

    I’m trying to get this plugin to work, but it’s having serious issues:

    The plugin messes up galleries:
    the rectangular ‘cool mosaic’ gallery turns into a thumbnail gallery – the images have the thumbnail width set in the media settings. Changing the gallery type in the shortcode (type=”rectangular” or “square”) doesn’t do anything. The gallery images are also not responsive to the content width.
    The gallery only shows up decent enough when thumbnails are set to a square format.

    I also noted that the ‘cool mosaic’ setting in the media settings panel is suddenly missing.

    The next, previous and close buttons
    – get a background color when hovered (the color being the link hover color of the the theme).
    – change position when clicked

    I’ve tried several WP themes (Twenty Twelve, Twenty Thirteen) in WP 3.9.1.
    And use the Slim Jetpack tiled gallery plugin.

    Am I missing something?
    Can this be solved?

    Hi,

    I am sorry that this is causing issues for you.

    One thing I am confused about is your mention of settings and shortcodes. Neither of which are included with this plugin. Are you certain it’s not another plugin that is giving you the issue/s?

    Perhaps you have 2 similar plugins installed?

    Do you have a link to an example of this issue?

    Thanks for you quick respons!

    By what you say (‘no settings and shortcodes included’) I understand that when you create a gallery with this plugin the thumbnail gallery grid is the only option. So: the ‘cool mosaic’ or ’tiled gallery’ won’t work by definition…

    I’ve done some more testing in a standard WP install, without any other plugins (and Slim Jetpack turned off). Just created new galleries without any extras in the shortcodes. I’ve now discovered that it depends on the WP theme how the gallery will look and if the thumbnail grid will work or not.

    In Twenty Twelve and Twenty Fourteen the thumbnail gallery works fine and also scales with the content width, in the choosen number of columns. But in Twenty Thirteen I don’t get the number of gallery columns set when creating the gallery, and the gallery doesn’t scale with the content width properly. Unfortunately Thirteen is the theme I want to use… Other lightboxes I’ve tried just worked fine in this theme with Slim Jetpacks ‘cool mosaic’.

    In all three themes the unexpected color when hovering the buttons in the lightbox is the same (is this intented? because it’s not the case in the online demo).

    My site is not online yet, so I can’t show anything, but you can easily try this out yourself.

    A suggestion: on the WP plugins page make clear how to use the plugin and what to expect about the type of gallery. ‘Install and enjoy’ sounds inspiring but is hardly a usable instruction…

    All in all it’s a pity, because it’s one of the best looking, most easy to use and fastest free lightboxes I’ve seen so far.
