Shortcode only run on one post per page?

without seeing the output of the code in your site:

in the
function show_legacy_gallery(){

try to use string concatenation and a return at the end, instead of using echo for each element.

(using echo in connection with shortcode is often the cause for problems)

I’m not sure what you mean about seeing the code… it is exactly what is in the function, except of course with the $gallery_id with is a php uniqid. The first post shows that code and the rest show nothing… nada… zip…

Unfortunately putting the string together and returning it at the end didn’t help ?? Thanks for the tip, though!

Any other ideas?

function galleries_shortcode($attr){
        global $gallery_displayed;
        if (!$gallery_displayed){
                $gallery_displayed = true;
                return show_legacy_gallery() ."\n";
        }
}

what does this code do?
or rather:
what is the variable $gallery_displayed supposed to control?

-to me it seems to be there to show the gallery only once;

you are setting the variable $gallery_displayed to ‘false’ only once (in line 6) – then the code above sets it to ‘true’ and prevents itself from showing the gallery again.

THANK YOU for the hint! That is essentially what the problem was… It actually needed to be reset back to false for every post, and the image arrays needed to be reset.

I modified this function to reset everything…

function gallery_content($content){
	global $gallery_displayed, $full_images, $thm_images, $captions, $gallery_id;

	//reset all the gallery info
	$gallery_id = false;
	$gallery_displayed = false;
	$full_images = Array();
	$thm_images = Array();
	$captions = Array();

	...
}

Again, thank you for bringing this to my attention! ??

i am glad it is working ??

please mark this thread as ‘resolved’ if you don’t have any further questions …
