Sorry it took so long to respond.

I added the statement back:

<?php $gallery = do_shortcode( sprintf( ‘[mla_gallery post_parent=all id=”%1$s” exclude=”%2$s” columns=”10″ posts_per_page=”20″ orderby=”ASC”]’, $post->post_parent, get_the_ID() ) ); ?>

What I don’t understand is “Leave the attachment_category and attachment_tag parameters out for your first test.” Where? If I remove them on the gallery:
[mla_gallery attachment_category=”att-category-landscape” attachment_tag=”att-tag-sanluisnwr” numberposts=”2″]
I don’t see the images.

So I didn’t remove anything. The thumbnails returned, but no of them match the gallery.

I don’t know why the link didn’t work, I’ve been working on my Smugmug site all day.

Glad to hear that it wasn’t me.

Really appreciate all of your help David!

Unfortunately I don’t know what I’m doing, so If I didn’t do the debug correctly, please tell me exactly what to do.

I tried removing the taxonomy parameters, but that didn’t work.

I’m beginning to realize that the MLA isn’t going to work in my themes and I will have to do my galleries like I’ve done in the past. I do hope this isn’t the case.

When I changed this:

<?php $gallery = do_shortcode( sprintf( ‘[mla_gallery id=”%1$s” exclude=”%2$s” columns=”10″ numberposts=”20″ orderby=”ASC”]’, $post->post_parent, get_the_ID() ) ); ?>

The gallery thumbnails disappeared. Everything else was as it should.

Here’s the results to the debug:

mla_debug WHERE filter = ' AND ( wp_term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id IN (488) AND tt1.term_taxonomy_id IN (491) ) AND (wp_posts.post_mime_type LIKE \'image/%\') AND wp_posts.post_type = \'attachment\' AND ((wp_posts.post_status = \'inherit\') OR (wp_posts.post_status = \'inherit\' AND (p2.post_status = \'inherit\')))'

I appreciate the help trying to figure this out. Honestly, the website that I’m currently using (www.iimagesinthebackcountry.com) works fine. I was thinking of using MLA because I liked some of the features and to maybe make it easier in the long run to add content.

The orderby=ASC came from the Parent theme. He used orderby=RAND, so I changed it to ASC.

Changing the shortcode from this

<?php $gallery = do_shortcode( sprintf( ‘[gallery id="%1$s" exclude="%2$s" columns="10" numberposts="20" orderby="ASC"]‘, $post->post_parent, get_the_ID() ) ); ?>

to this doesn’t work. It obviously removed the gallery thumbnails.

<?php $gallery = do_shortcode( sprintf( ‘[mla_gallery id=”%1$s” exclude=”%2$s” columns=”10″ numberposts=”20″ orderby=”ASC”]’, $post->post_parent, get_the_ID() ) ); ?>

It started out as the ‘My Life’ theme. It was his personal blog and he used it as the demo on his themhybrid site. He recently changed it, but he didn’t update the old theme on the demo. Its more modified in colors, adding slideshow etc, then adding functions. The gallery isn’t a plugin, this is just how most of the themes run. Here is the ‘attachment-image.php’ file from my Child theme:

I added the Pagination.

Thought I add this….Only the unattached images display on the bottom gallery regardless of category/tag.

One more question related to this. For some background, I’m using one of the https://www.themehybrid.com child themes…highly modified for my photo site. I’m not currently using any lightboxes, so my images display the default ‘attachment-image.php’. When I view one image, I see ALL of my thumbnail images below. I would like to only view the thumbnails for on particular gallery (attachment_category). Here is a link to my testing site.

MLA San Luis Gallery

I only have 4 images, but when you click on a thumbnail, all of the images that I uploaded to the Media Library (thumnails) show up.

Is there a way to only display THAT Gallery/Category?

On another site, I was using this in my non-MLA gallery:

[gallery orderby="ASC" numberposts="20" columns="5"]

<!--nextpage-->

[gallery orderby="ASC" numberposts="20" offset="20" columns="5"]

So I modified it like this. It seems to work. Is there a better way, or is this it? Obviously I’ll had to add more nextpage when I need to.

[mla_gallery orderby="ASC" posts_per_page=20 columns="5" attachment_category="att-category-landscape"]

<!--nextpage-->

[mla_gallery orderby="ASC" posts_per_page=20 offset="20" columns="5" attachment_category="att-category-landscape"]

I have the same problem, using ‘Trending 0.2’ theme.
