Problem Envira Gallery

I’ve tried to reproduce the issue but with no luck.
This is what I’ve done.

1) Installed Envira Gallery
2) Created some galleries with images
3) In my gallery overview I see all the default columns.

In my case I never used Admin Columns for this overview, so this should be the default column set provided by WordPress, the plugin itself and maybe some columns added by other plugins.

Can you edit the columns on that overview an click on the ‘store columns’ link? If the author columns is still available on your overview, it is probably added by another plugin. I like to know which plugin this is, so I can try to create a fix for you.

I have set up a local WP 4.4.1 installation with only Envira Gallery and Admin Columns plugins and everything is OK as you also can see. But when you also install the Envira Albums add-on plugin you get this extra Author column in Envira Gallery that Admin Columns doesn’t recognize. I will notify the developer of Envira with a reference to this topic and see if he has any suggestions.

And the extra Author column is only added and displayed for the Envira Gallery admin page when I use Admin Columns to add an ID column for Envira Gallery and when the Envira Albums add-on also is activated.

I’ve requested a copy of the Envira Album addon to see if I can create a fix for this.

When using with Envira Gallery an extra Author column is added last on the Gallery admin page but it can’t be removed since Admin Columns doesn’t have the Author in the list?

Having tested with:
– WordPress 4.4.1
– Envira Gallery 1.4.1.6
– Envira Albums 1.2.4.6
– Envira Standalone 1.1.0 (required for the Author field to be available on Galleries and Albums)

– no Author column is, at any time, ever registered for display on the WP_List_Table when viewing the list of Galleries and Albums.

Because of this, I wouldn’t expect the Admin Columns plugin to offer an option to show or hide this column, given that it isn’t available in the first place.

That’s strange since when I add an ID column with Admin Column then also an extra Author column is added in Envira Gallery that Admin Columns doesn’t recognize?

@tim Please check Envira support email for some screen shoots.

We found the problem.
As weel the author as the comment columns were added again, if these features were removed in the theme or by a plugin in the admin_init hook something like this:

function cpac_remove_support() {
	remove_post_type_support( 'post', 'author' );
	remove_post_type_support( 'post', 'comments' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'cpac_remove_support', 15 );

We’ve changed the way default WordPress columns and plugin columns are fetched now. These changes fixed also this problem. The fix will be in our 3.8 release.

If someone like to test this for us, please contact us at the support mail from Admin Columns.

Many thanx for finding the issue and the fix in next release. Thumbs up!
