Well, it seems to work.

I’m curious about these questions too. I’m grateful for a response from the developers . . . anyone? =) Thank you! — Eric

Dear Barnez, thank you for this very thoughtful reply. I have moved on to another solution, but I am very grateful for your time. All best, Eric

Possible, partial solution: I was able to get images to load from a tumblr feed using this shortcode:

[RSSImport display=”25″ feedurl=”https://officeofjeremyrifkin.tumblr.com/rss&#8221; before_desc=”%title%” displaydescriptions=”true” after_desc=” View post” html=”true” truncatedescchar=”” truncatetitlechar=”” before_date=”<br />” date=”true” after_date=”<br />” start_items=”<div>” end_items=”</div>” start_item=”<div class=’tumblr-feed’>” end_item=”</div>”]

I omitted the %picture_url% variable because I don’t think it did anything with Tumblr. I made sure to include displaydescriptions=”true”. I believe that did thr trick, at least to display a feed with images from Tumblr. I hope this is useful to someone.

I have the same problem too, and it’s a showstopper. I am trying to display a feed from Tumblr, using a shortcode, as so:

[RSSImport feedurl=”https://officeofjeremyrifkin.tumblr.com/&#8221; displaydescriptions=”true” before_desc=”<div>” after_desc=”</div>” use_simplepie=”true”]

I’m using WordPress 4.7.3, and a simple child theme. The %picture_url% variable does not seem to work with Tumblr images, so I am thinking: is there another variable I can use?

Unfortunately, the client will not accept the Tumblr feed without images. I am looking around for other options.

If the developer reads these messages: can you advise us, please? Thank you.

I think I figured it out. I need to use a smaller source image. The source images I was using were thousands of pixels wide.

Thank you.

Dear Cais — what a helpful reply. I just found it. Holy moley! Thank you so much. This makes a lot more sense now.

Peace,

Eric

I think I found the shortcodes:

[ngg_images gallery_ids=”1″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails”]

and so on. I had to go hunting for them.

Is there a way to derive the shortcodes from, for example, the Manage Galleries section? Here is your gallery, here is your shortcode, plunk it anywhere.

Is that possible? Thanks again for your help.

Eric
