You can certainly override the CSS that specifies the margins. The default margins are set to 5% of the container width, so setting them to a lower value should allow you achieve the desired effect.

One of the arguments available for the shortcode is “size_large”. It allows you to specify the image size to be used in the slideshow by referencing the image size name (i.e. medium, large, full). However, it does not accept pixel dimensions in the current release.

Probably the best solution would be to add a custom image size to your theme’s functions.php file by using the add_image_size function. If you give that custom size the name “slideshow”, then you would reference it like so in the gallery shortcode:

[gallery size_large=slideshow]

You will likely need to regenerate image thumbnails after adding your custom sized image in order for it to be available when called. The Regenerate Thumbnails plugin by Viper007Bond makes this a trivial task.

Another option is for you to redefine the Large size image dimensions in your WordPress Media Settings to be 1500 (max width) by 1500 (max height). Of course you can set the height to some unlikely value such as 99999 so that even vertical oriented images will be 1500 pixels wide.

Let us know if you have any further questions or if this solves the issue. Thanks.

Thanks for posting your solution to the issue and for using RPS Image Gallery.

We hope that the issue has been addressed and are marking this topic as resolved. Please let us know if more information is required.

We should be able to help you out there. You would need to setup a Google Webmaster Tools account and register your sitemaps for each domain. In addition, you can specify the location of your sitemap in the robots.txt file like so:

Sitemap: https://www.example.com/sitemap83.xml

That way you wouldn’t necessarily need to register with other search engines to submit your sitemaps for them to be discovered. We hope that this information is what you needed.

You are correct that this is not a current feature of RPS Image Gallery though it sounds like a worthwhile addition to the plugin. We have added it as a feature request for the next release. Thank you for taking the time to write and providing such a thorough description.

It seems that the result would be similar whether using percentages or floating point numbers considering that the container width is an unknown and the browser rounds pixel measurements to an integer. Please feel free to share if you have information or an example that would help illustrate your point.

Back to your original question about preventing image stretching, you can achieve this by overriding the RPS Image Gallery styles. Try the following styles to prevent the images from stretching and mimic the default WordPress Gallery behavior:

.rps-image-gallery a {
     text-align: center;
}
.rps-image-gallery .gallery-icon img {
     width: auto !important;
     margin: 5% 0 !important;
     display: -moz-inline-stack;
     display: inline-block;
     zoom: 1;
     *display: inline;
}

Hope this helps.

Glad we could help regarding the image quality. The issue of margins is a bit trickier but we have just made some changes to RPS Image Gallery (version 1.2.8) that will make the overrides possible.

There are now classes assigned to the list items that specify whether that item begins or ends a gallery row. You can use these to change the display of these specific instances. Here is an example of the styles that can be used to override the default margins:

.rps-image-gallery .gallery-icon.gallery-icon-begin-row img,
.rps-image-gallery .gallery-icon.gallery-icon-begin-row .wp-heading-text.gallery-heading,
.rps-image-gallery .gallery-icon.gallery-icon-begin-row .wp-caption-text.gallery-caption {
	margin-left: 0 !important;
	margin-right: 10% !important;
}

.rps-image-gallery .gallery-icon.gallery-icon-end-row img,
.rps-image-gallery .gallery-icon.gallery-icon-end-row .wp-heading-text.gallery-heading,
.rps-image-gallery .gallery-icon.gallery-icon-end-row .wp-caption-text.gallery-caption {
	margin-left: 10% !important;
	margin-right: 0 !important;
}

Keep in mind that you should use 1, 2, 4, or 5 columns since those values will result in a gallery that fills the entire container, left to right. If the container is divided by any of the other column values in the approved range (1 through 9), the result is not an integer.

Please let us know if you have additional questions.

RPS Sitemap Generator by default will create a separate sitemap for each site. Check your WordPress install directory and look for other files named “sitemap_*.xml’ (where the * is some string of characters). You should have one sitemap file for each of your sites. To be sure, you could look at the RPS Sitemap Generator Settings for each of your sites. Let us know if you need further assistance.

We are going to mark this issue as resolved. Please reopen it if you continue to have questions or issues with paging. Thanks.

The option to set the images to a fixed width does not exist in the current version of RPS Image Gallery but we have added it to the list of feature requests.

The default gallery output is designed to fill its container. Technically, there is nothing wrong with scaling images as long as there is enough resolution (information) to support the transformation. That being said, some browsers do render scaled images better than others so some degradation of image quality could still be present even if there is enough resolution. However modern browsers do not exhibit this behavior.

For the time being, you can set the container to a fixed width, increase the size of your thumbnail images, increase the number of columns in the grid view, or override the CSS to force the images to a specific width.

We hope that you find this information useful. Let us know if you require an additional details.

You should be able to accomplish what you want by creating a page for each gallery then adding all of the galleries to another page by reference, separated by page breaks (<!–nextpage–>). Your page may look something like this in HTML mode:

`[gallery id=141]

<!–nextpage–>

[gallery id=539]‘

The gallery id is actually the id of the post that contains the gallery (attachments) you want to include. Of course your theme will need to support pagination for this to work properly.

This method is not specific to RPS Image Gallery so you can use it with or without our plugin. Some additional information about the Gallery Shortcode can be found in the WordPress Codex. Hope this helps.

We are going to go ahead and mark this one as resolved. Please feel free to contact us again should you need anything else.

We have just released RPS Image Gallery 1.2.7 which should address your request. All you will need to do in the shortcode is set the attribute ‘heading’ to ‘true like so:

[gallery heading=true]

The heading will show in the gallery and the slideshow. Let us know if you have any difficulties with this solution.
