Photo Gallery not displaying properly

    I have a client who has brought an issue to my attention. While I don’t see the problem on my end, they are saying that the built in photo gallery isn’t displaying properly as it once did.

    Their site is made up of hundreds of photo galleries displayed within tables showing two photos per gallery, per row for a total of four photos across each line.

    Many of the photo galleries display properly but then start to display only one photo per line, later down the page, even though the backend is set for 2 as I have verified numerous times.

    Again, the galleries display properly on my end on every device I check, but not on any devices they use whether it be at home or in the office on a PC or MAC or mobile devices.

    The client did tell me today that it fixed on her iPhone after several months of it not displaying properly, but it’s still not displaying right on the main computer (or other devices) they need it to.

    I advised deleting cookies, cache, restarting browser, etc., and they have, but still to no avail. I suggested it was a network issue on their end at work and it needed to be reset, but she tried it at home and it still displayed incorrectly.

    I am using the Twenty Twelve theme with a few CSS customizations to make the galleries display properly. I have checked everything on my end and it is setup correctly, as far as I can tell. I have not done anything to the code or differently since setting it up a year ago.

    I am thinking that this is a bug within the theme or WordPress, but I am wondering if anyone has a solution and how quickly it can be fixed as this is a time sensitive issue.

    I am willing to give anyone who thinks they can help the web address and password to access it, as it is a private site, so please let me know and I’ll PM you the info. I can also give you a user account if necessary to fix the issue.

    I also have screenshots to show this, but I’m not seeing where I can upload them on here, so I can send those, as well.

    Thank you for your thoughts.

    These forums don’t provide that level of support and we strongly discourage giving login access to anyone you don’t know.

    You can’t post images here – but you can upload them to a photo sharing site or your own site and post a link here.

    A link to the site would be probably be the most helpful/relevant, though if it’s not reproducible, it’s awfully hard to troubleshoot things like this except by process of elimination.

    Along those lines, have you tried deactivating ALL plugins and switching to an unmodified default theme to see if any of those variables are causing this?

    Thanks for the info.

    I have not tried the plugin deactivation because I’m not seeing it, but I can always try that. I haven’t updated the theme since it has the customizations, but I guess I can try it and then recustomize it, if necessary.

    I have disabled the password protection, so the website is https://retailnotes.com.

    Here are the photo comparisons with theirs and mine.

    Looks pretty messed up to me in Firefox. Looks like you have a lot of mark-up errors – for example:

    Thanks for checking that out for me. I guess I’ll have to set it up with CSS as it appears the HTML I’ve used has gotten broken somehow. Probably by moving back and forth between the Visual Editor and HTML Editor.

    Any idea why I’m not seeing these issues on my end?

    Yes, switching editors does strip/corrupt code. Also, tables really are not good coding practice for layout. You should also use a child theme – so that your changes are not lost when the theme is updated – in this case when WP is updated.

    Not sure why you’re not seeing it, maybe you have cached versions on you local machine?

    I’ll look into the child theme so I can update it easier.

    Any idea of what I can do to keep the same look, but without using tables? This was the best way I know how to do it but any ideas would be great.

    Thanks again!

    Like you said above, CSS should be able to do any kind of layout like that. But what about using unmodified galleries – don’t they do what you want? Or possibly look at other gallery plugins or possibly something like:

    Thanks for the link.

    I need to keep the galleries separated by year with columns so the current galleries don’t allow a setup like that. I’ll have to look into some CSS options other than what I’ve done.

    Thanks again!
