Hi @fgbmaster
I just had the same problem. Turned out there was a conflict with another active shortcode generator, called “Shortcodes Indep”. I simply disabled it and the WPPA+ generator worked again.
I recommand to simply deactivate your plugins one by one and see what happens.
Hope that helps

Good for now. Topic closed

Looks like as if it was the “Shortcodes Indep” shortcode generator plugin. After deactivating it, the WPPA+ plugin came up again. However, the ready button still doesn’t appear. It’s so weird.

@opajaap
Do you mean I shouldn’t display any picture at all, but leave them in the database? Maybe just creating a slide show of the “best” or “best rated” and leave the rest invisible, until somebody searches for them?

Also, is there a possibilty to show a complete taxanomic tree for each species once displayed? Example:

Mollusca (Phylum) >>> Gastropoda (Class) >>> Heterobranchia (Subclass) >>> Euthyneura (Infraclass) >>> Ringipleura (Subterclass) >>> Nudipleura (Superorder) >>> Nudibranchia (Order)>>> Doridina (Suborder) >>> Doridoidei (Infraorder) >>> Chromodoridoidea (Superfamily) >>> Chromodorididae (Family) >>> Chromodoridinae (Subfamily) >>> Goniobranchus (Genus) >>> Goniobranchus tritos (Species)

It doesn’t need to be as complete as the above example, but half as long would be very welcome.

Also, is there a way to change the appearance of the search fields?
I went through the different options yesterday and the supersearch is pretty close, but I’d prefer to have most tag options readily available/clickable, sorted under fitting headlines or graphically identifiable filters.
Example: a frame of coloured, clickable tiles representing individual tags for colours; basically a graphic representation of available filter tags connected by “and” (selector? What are “and” and “or” called in coding terms?). The tiles should be clickable in a simple on/off switch style.

Here you can see, where I am at the moment: Current situation

Problem solved.
Turns out it was a browser issue.
After contacting my provider support, I used a different browser (Firefox instead of Chrome) and everything worked again. For some weird reason, neither clearing the browser cache nor WP cache helped. I still don’t understand the actual problem, but hey. It’s working for now.

@opajaap Question:
How many seperate albums and individual photos do you think your plugin can handle?
I’m about to organise my entire collection of underwater pictures in the scientifically correct order (therefore tons of subalbums, possibly even one album per species – not yet decided), containing hundreds of pictures (on a rough estimate around 1500, with thousands more to come, if my idea works…). Will it handle these numbers?

Hi @bigmoxy

Thanks, I just did and it seems to be a problem with the browser, Chrome. I switched to Firefox and everything works fine. I’ll uninstall and reinstall Chrome now, to see if I can get it back running on Chrome too. Clearing the Cache did not work.

Any other suggestions what might be wrong in Chrome?

I’ve just tried to create a new user profile for my brother. Same result. I think @fgbmaster is right, there seems to be a problem with WP itself. So annoying, especially these days, when I finally have time to take care of this.
*smashing head against the wall*

I’ve just tried again. It’s definitely not an internet issue, as I’m posting this here right now.

Deleting issue:
After pressing the delete button on the album overview page, I get to the delete page. Now if I press delete there, I get the message that the site is currently not reachable.

Moving issue:
When I try to move a tree of 1 album with 3 subsequent subalbums (child, grandchild, grandgrandchild), I get this message in the Remark: Comm error error in red.

Uploading issue (just now):
Actually, I wanted to send a link with a screen shot of the “Comm error error”. While trying to upload the screen shot to an album, I again got the message that the site is currently not reachable.

Should I delete the entire plugin and reinstall it, or is there a simpler solution to this?

Hi there again,

That Ready-Button just doesn’t show up. No idea why.

The site runs on the following, if that helps:
WP v5.3.2
PHP should be either 7.2 or 7.3 or 7.4
WP SuperCache
WP Theme: SimpleMag

Maybe it’s related to the block editor?

All the best and thanks heaps, for the plugin itself. The possibilities seem endless and I’m thrilled to dive deeper. Nest step is to create an amazing search UI. Hope’ll help me on that one too. :-DDD

Hi there and thanks for the response.

Funnywise, somehow out of nothing, another block appeared just below the settings block where I could paste my shortcode into. The button you’re talking about however, doesn’t show. I have absolutely no clou why. The solution would be to simply generate the shortcode and figure out how to create the shortcode box for it.

Yet, I do have another question:
If you take a look at the link: Species Log (edit: Link doesn’t work!! – darn!)
You’ll see the album covers on top of the photos. I’d prefer to only display the pictures without the album covers.
In a next step, I want to create a highly customized search UI that filters the pictures below in real time and leaves only those photos that fit the search query.
