Also I fixed the bundling issue listed in the original post, though still not clear on why it’s causing some other secondary problems.

Of the issues that I’ve listed, 2 of them don’t necessarily have anything to do with w3TC. Redirects might have some issue that was started by a misconfiguring of w3TC but the htaccess file is a generic technology shared by all wordpress installs on apache servers, so it’s fair enough to ask questions about it here.

And the Shared styles being pulled into my backend could be a problem related or caused by w3TC but it could just as easily be an issue related to WordPress in general or the way that TinyMCE works.

The description on the front page says:

>Fixing WordPress
>For any problems encountered after setting up WordPress.

I’d say this qualifies under that definition.

Could always post my question to wordpress.stackexchange but this is a bit more open ended than that

@t-p

I’ve already posted to the plugin specific forum but looking over the history of other posts, the developer does not help people.

And I’ve already contacted and been helped by the cloudflare people. The issue isn’t with cloudflare, though it might be further exacerbated by it or hidden.

I’m having trouble with my install of w3 total cache and it looks like from this forum that the devs don’t reply to requests for help. I guess they only do that with their premium customers etc. Would you happen to know how to help me? @josmatic ? Totally understand if you can’t, but I’m nearly ready to give up on this thing.

Hey Paul, thanks that worked! And also the issue makes sense from reading your notes on the github page, since the environment I was was migrating from was a Linux machine, and now I’m working on a Windows machine. Thanks!

Been banging my head against the wall on this for an hour and a half. Restarted my computer, restarted MAMP, recreated a posts etc. Nada.

I did finally get the page which was not even displaying the link to work though. The gallery name was Illustration, and so was the name of the post it was being inserted into, so the shortcode for insert post didn’t distinguish between the two. Just renamed the gallery to illustrations, and now it inserts fine just like all the rest. Well fine except for the fact that it’s not actually displaying the post, it’s just displaying a link to the post. Which is weird because I most def am using the custom php template etc.

Also renamed the template to insert-post.php to make sure that it wasn’t having some backend interferences from the single naming convention for posts etc. Also removed the tags at the top of the test single-gallery.php in the root of the theme in order to make sure that wasn’t interfering either. Also renamed it null_single-gallery.php except for when I needed to test to see that the html css etc was all working correctly. When I enable that single post, and open up one of the galleries as a page, it looks good. No problems. Turned it off now though to make sure it wasn’t messing anything up, and still ain’t working ??

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I’m trying to look around as much as I can. I have a feeling there’s something wrong with the use of the custom template?

Also you mentioned in another post that the locations available for custom template files was made more strict. Where should I be putting my custom template files?

Also just to make sure I cover this, I double checked and the display in the shortcode is set to the the custom php template that I wanted it set to. And still no dice!

Shortcode looks like this:

[insert page='concert-photography' display='template-pages/single-gallery.php']

Where can the templates be loaded from? I have my insertPost templates in a folder called template-parts in my theme root folder. It shows up in the plugin when I insert a shortcode but it’s not rendering for some reason.

Excellent that worked! Thank you Paul!

Okay I figured this out. I don’t know why it was doing that but when I turned my php loop file into a template, and loaded it up as a template, it ran fine!

Except it didn’t. I’ll create another post for that issue though.

@krbmedia

I’m having the same problem. How does this thing work, where is the documentation?

@louyx

How do I even get this plugin to work? I’ve installed it, but I don’t understand how I’m supposed to initialize it or tell it which images to target. I get that this is just a simple plugin but a basic clue would be a big help.

@lapetitebrune

Did you ever get this to work? I can’t figure it out. Where is the documentation for this thing?

@dcooney

Excellent, thank you for the replies. If I can just ask one more question and follow up on another.

Yes, only that one transition… its not really a unique transition, it’s really just a setting.

So does that mean that I can change it with my CSS or is that setting something I have to change inside of AML?

Last question also.

Here’s what my code looks like:

 <section class="wrapper">

        <div class="grid">
            <div class="grid-sizer"></div>

            <?php echo do_shortcode("[ajax_load_more acf=\"true\" acf_field_type=\"repeater\" acf_field_name=\"card\" post_type=\"post\" posts_per_page=\"2\" scroll_distance=\"-100\" transition=\"masonry\" masonry_selector=\".grid-item\"]"); ?>

        </div>  <!-- masonry -->

    </section>  <!-- end of the section -->

When it gets output to the DOM by AML etc, it nests the <div class=”grid-item”> inside <div class=”alm-listing”> which is then itself nested inside of <div class=”alm-masonry”> which is then further nested inside <div class=”ajax-load-more”>. This messes up the styling that I had already written, but it’s kind of a gnarly sort of output for a DOM. Is there anyway I can neaten this up by adjusting the settings or something? I understand that maybe this strange nested div structure is a necessary part of how the plug-in works, but I was hoping there might be something I could do?

Thank you again for any help you can provide.

@dcooney

Yeah, I just realized that (as per my third edit which I just posted)

I can’t share a link because I’m developing locally. This is my first WordPress website actually. (background is designer though I’m taking coding classes)

Here’s what my new shortcode looks like with the masonry selector included. I think the issue was the [‘url’] being upper case though:

[ajax_load_more acf="true" acf_field_type="repeater" acf_field_name="card" post_type="post" posts_per_page="2" scroll_distance="0" transition="masonry" masonry_selector=".grid-item"]

A couple of other questions:

Is it possible to set the scroll distance to a negative number so that it starts loading in the images right before they enter the screen?

The masonry transition is the only one that works with a masonry layout. If I want to have a different masonry load animation?

I’m doing this primarily to speed up the load times of my gallery pages on my website. But when it calls images, it seems to take a bit of time for it to load them in. Do you have any setting recommendations etc for improving the UX? Is this an optimization issue.

The next thing I plan on doing is adding Lightbox to my galleries Will this be a compatibility problem with Load More, or do you have any recommendations on that?

Thank you so much for the quick response. I am in awe of this plugin’s thoroughness.
