Upload Photo Widget not showing for some users

I also tried using the shortcode [wppa type=”upload” album=”#owner,Station Arts Centre”] where “Station Arts Centre” was the 62 gallery and it did not work. If the gallery owner was one of the earlier galleries then this would work.

I also get “No galleries or photos found matching your search criteria.” when using the shortcode [wppa type=”content” album=”#owner,Station Arts Centre”] for any gallery beyond the 61st even though they’re are photos in the gallery.

I can upload photos to galleries beyond the 61st on the sites dashboard using an administrator account.

I turned debug on for WPPA and got this from [wppa type=”content” album=”#owner,Station Arts Centre”] where “Station Arts Centre” is Gallery Id: 157 in the WPPA Gallery Admin page and is the 62nd gallery.

Also getting this on the Upload Photo’s” widget for allgallerys

[WPPA+ dbg msg: Usr_upl entered]
[WPPA+ dbg msg: Invalid arg wppa_cache_album(0)]

To begin with:
[wppa type="upload" album="#owner,Station Arts Centre"]
is faulty, because after "#owner, a user login name is expected, not an album name.

What is the setting of Table VII-B13 Max fe upload albums Max number of albums in frontend upload selection box. ?

Set it to 0 ( = unlimited )

Jacob,

In the [wppa] example the “Station Arts Centre” is both the username and the gallery name.

I had the setting of Table VII-B13 set to 500.

I just changed it to 0 and it had no effect. The dropdown list for selecting a gallery to upload when logged in as the administrator was the same.

Interestingly I then set Table VII-B13 to 10 and the selection list for the gallery in the “Upload Photo’s” widget changes from “select a gallery” to enter a gallery number”.

I then set Table VII-B13 to 100 and the selection list for the gallery in the “Upload Photo’s” widget went back to “select a gallery” but still only showed the first 61 of the 62 galleries we currently have.

The shortcode [wppa type=”content” album=”#owner,Station Arts Centre”] for any gallery beyond the 61st even though they’re are photos in the gallery.

Jacob,

Let me describe out site. It’s at oxfordcreativeconnections.ca

It is a site for artists in our community and also uses the Ultimate Member plugin and theme.

If you click on the “Meet our Community” box on the home page it takes you to the directory list of our members.

If you then click on the box for “Pat Ball” it takes you to that artists Ultimate Member profile page where at the bottom of the page there is their gallery. This is generated bye a [wppa type=”content” album=”#owner,login-name”] short code. If they were the logged in user the “Upload Photo’s” widget would show on the profile sidebar.

If you go back to the directory list and go to page 5 you will see a box for the “Station Arts Centre” user. If you click on that to go to their profile page you will see that the gallery section on the bottom says “No galleries or photos found” even though there is 1 photo in their gallery. I have debug turned on for WPPA so if you add ?debug to the page url you will see that the debug messages for this gallery refer to “Start_album=-9” versus “Start_album=156” for the previous gallery.

thanks,
john

Interestingly I then set Table VII-B13 to 10 and the selection list for the gallery in the “Upload Photo’s” widget changes from “select a gallery” to enter a gallery number”.

This is normal behaviour, to prevent selectionboxes with thousands of items.

“Start_album=-9”

Interesting. I will get into this. Thanx for the info so far.

Pls do the following:

Install and activate plugin Tweak option (its by me, so safe)

Find tweak option under the wp tools menu

Find option wppa_child_list

Click Edit, copy the content of the edit box and paste it here in the forum.
Quit tweak option.

Use tweak option and delete wppa_child_list

It will be recreated automatically.

This is not a final fix yet.

Jacob,

I did it and it resolved both issues.

Excellent work!!

john

Be aware of this: you may (iam not sure yet) need to do this again after creating a new album, until a fix release.

Jacob,

Ok, will do.

Thanks again for your quick and excellent response to my issue.

john
