I’m reaching out for assistance regarding the display of image galleries on my website, Kinderballett Frankfurt, which is built on WordPress 6.5.2 using the Storefront theme and the Meow Gallery plugin.

While the gallery looks great on desktop, I’ve encountered an issue with the mobile view. The images are simply stacked vertically, which is not ideal for showcasing our ballet classes and events effectively on smaller screens.

I’m wondering if anyone can recommend a plugin for creating image galleries that also display beautifully on mobile devices. Previously, I used Tiled Galleries Carousel Without Jetpack, but unfortunately, it didn’t play well with the caching feature of WP Fastest Cache.

I found myself having to clear the cache every few days to ensure that the gallery displayed correctly. This workaround is not sustainable, so I’m eager to find an alternative solution that provides a seamless mobile experience without compromising on performance.

Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best regards,

I used to be able to go to Manage Galleries > then select a gallery > Sort Gallery… and be move images around in a customized way (i.e., not just use the Presort options). I am not able to do this anymore.

Does anyone know how else I can do this? I don’t want to use any of the presort options, as there are just a few images here and there that I would like to move into a different position from their current order.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

Please restore the ability to click/drag an image to move its position within a gallery.

Thank you

We’ve been using this plugin for awhile and really love it. Unfortunately, we have a ton of images on our travel site, and we’re constantly struggling to speed up our page load speed. Just recently, we installed the Autoptimize plugin, which improved our scores on GTMetrix.

The biggest difference was enabling the “lazy load” option on that plugin, but when we enable it, it breaks the galleries we have embedded in our site with Justified Gallery. We really need to keep this setting checked because it reduces our site load speed from a horrid 12 seconds to around 6 seconds. Is there a way to prevent the Justified Gallery galleries from being affected by the lazy loading?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!!

One of the alternatives I am considering is using WordPress’ native image galleries instead, but before I go through the trouble of doing that, I’m wondering if anyone has experience using that for a lot of photos and whether that would also use a lot of CPU processing?

My site currently has 25,000 photos, all resized to be 850×600 pixels, around 65 to 100 kb each. There’s a photo gallery for each blog post with anywhere from 10 to 200 photos per gallery, but averaging around 75 per gallery. I’m hoping to scale up to 75,000 to 100,000 photos within the next three or four years.

Does anyone have any insights on whether WordPress’ native photo galleries can handle that without using too much CPU processing?

Thank you!

I want to get a slider with a previous/next option but that is non-ajax so it creates more pageviews and impressions.

All the ones I’ve found so far are either Ajax or aren’t very good at all.

Would really appreciate any suggestions.

Before I updated to WordPress 3.8.1, the theme provided me with the option to have a static homepage with a number of galleries displayed. Clicking on the ‘enter gallery’ text on the images on the homepage led you the image galleries. My blog was on a separate page at https://www.amandalarge.com/?page_id=225.

Since the WordPress update, I no longer have the option to have my latest galleries on my static homepage. Instead, I get the featured image from my 4 latest blog posts, and clicking on ‘enter gallery’ leads to the actual blog posts.

I can still access my image galleries through the drop-down menu at the top-right of the site, but I would like them to be represented visually on the landing page, like they used to be.

There are currently two places I can set my static webpage:1) a sidewinder-specific dashboard item; 2) the ‘customize’ option under ‘Appearance’.

When on the sidewinder-specific option, I can still see the ‘use latest galleries’ option (https://www.dropbox.com/s/g5brqcmohr53j0p/Screen%20Shot%202014-02-14%20at%205.14.35%20PM.png) ,
but it seems to be overriden by WordPress’ ‘customize’ menu, which doesn’t provide the ‘latest galleries’ option (https://www.dropbox.com/s/cf70oq98sluol57/Screen%20Shot%202014-02-14%20at%205.57.18%20PM.png).

I do not believe this is an issue with the Sidewinder theme itself, as my partner uses exactly the same theme as I do, is still on WP 3.3.2 and is not having the same problems. We are using different hosts, though. Also, as I previously mentioned, I have tested switching to different portfolio themes and am having similar issues.

I hope I explained that clearly enough! Any suggestions as to how I could get the galleries back on the landing page would be much appreciated.

I am unable to upload jpeg files from my image folder to my galleries in the NextGen Gallery Plugin.

I select the gallery, select a file for upload and upload. The upload is 100% completed but 0/1 files are uploaded!

Not sure what’s going on…
