Lightroom Ratings (via Masonry)

When clicking on a thumbnail in the Masonry view, it takes me to a Lightroom that looks very different to the one when using a slideshow

Can you give me a link to your site, so i can see myself?

When the image is zoomable, the lightbox displays no subtitles etc, just the buttons for zooming etc.

Hello Jacob, please see About – Phil’s Pics (therudds.co.uk). I am very new to WordPress, well website design in general, so I am using Elementor and Astra theme, and just trying out things, but towards the bottom of this page it will show you the WPPA+ Photo Album, which when clicking will show the masonry view, and also the WPPA+ Thumbnail Photos, which shows the different lightroom (assuming it is defined as a lightroom). I am also trying out other albums too, though they are restrictive in what they offer with less customisation.

I did try deselecting zoom but it made no difference, the zoom buttons still appeared, though I am somewhat confused because looking at the link I sent you above, some of the photos had zoom buttons and others did not, even though in the same album.

A final comment, when choosing a rating via the Thumbnail Photos, it would not register, even though using in a different browser than the one I edited the page in.

Thanks.

The lightbox images from album Sandown Sprint -> masonry style thumbnails are all zoomable.

The lightbox images from the thumbnail view link to the slideshow; the large images link to lightbox not zoomable, and that is a known restriction.

If you want them zoomable here, do not link from the large slide image, but from the filmstrip images. That can be zoomable.

If you do not want default zoomable, Untick Photo albums -> Settings -> Basic settings -> Photos -> I -> Item 4, and leave the settings on the album admin in tab Display at Default, except for the albums that you want to be zoomable

I did try deselecting zoom but it made no difference, the zoom buttons still appeared, though I am somewhat confused because looking at the link I sent you above, some of the photos had zoom buttons and others did not, even though in the same album.

I did not see this. Pls clear all caches on the server an in your browser

Your frontend ajax does not work. Pls select Backend method in: Photo Albums -> Settings -> Advanced -> System -> I -> Item 5

Hope this helps
