Genrating from subdomain still shows images at subdomain

    So I have been loving Simply Static but can not seem to solve this issue.

    I am using this on a site with a rather large set of photo galleries. The galleries work properly but when I cut internet access to the subdomain via .htaccess the photo gallery images stop working.

    When I inspect the files in the browser I see the location is subdomain.domain.com but I have tried all three of the output settings for destination URL’s.

    I am using Robo Gallery plugin for the albums. Is this my issue? If so any idea how to work around this as I like how the robo gallery loads the photos and operates.

    Thanks.

    Some info I want passed along in this thread.

    I ended up using the standard gallery in Divi (although I am sure the standard gallery works the same). What I noticed is that only the photos visible on first page of the gallery would show up in the static generation. The rest would be broken links. I believe this is due to the way Simply Static views the page it does not scroll and trigger the lazy load function or gallery pages themselves.

    So to fix the gallery issue I had to use the standard gallery module in Divi and set all the photos to be visible on page load (set default amount of photos to view larger then or equal to the total number of photos in that gallery).

    I also ran into another issue which may end up being helpful to someone else reading this. The plugin Autoptomize minifies javascript/css/html and the likes making for even faster load times (tested with gtmetrix.com). That being said it use a CDN system for photos that hosts them elsewhere but using the domain as a key somehow. So this causes the source for the photos to be based on the domain you generated from which for me is not the domain my site lives on. If you do not turn that feature off you will get some photos showing up in galleries and some not with no real rhyme or reason to it. Luckily is a setting that can be turned off but it is on by default.

    Hope this helps someone else along the way. As far as I can tell Robo gallery is a no go for simply static.

    Hi @ctrlsync, we’ll check the Robo gallery to see what it might be.

    If it uses lazy loading for images, the first page load might not show them so something like this won’t be found.

    Same happened with some Elementor sites where we had to inspect how it stores/shows images to lazy load them. Then read the whole structure of the page and find such to be sure to include them.

    If it’s like that, then that’s the issue for sure.

    Lazy load is definitely an issue for obvious reasons. But Robo gallery is got a bit more going on because not photos show at all.

    Simply Static is to good to return to a standard WordPress so I am in the process of finding a gallery site that can be hosted elsewhere and embedded into my page to avoid the whole issue.

    The other alternative is to leave the dev site up and password protected because robo gallery pulls them from the dev site. This is not preferred for me I much prefer the security of it being inaccessible unless I am using it real time.
