Can't create gallery

  • I can’t get past step 1 in the creation of the gallery. I enter the gallery title, click the Next button and the area where step 1 was is now blank.

    I did some troubleshooting and found that when the Advanced Custom Fields plugin by Elliot Condon (https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/) is activated then this happens. This is a huge bummer because I use the Advanced Custom Fields plugin on all of my websites and would really like to use the FooThumbnail Gallery plugin as well.

    Would you be able to make this plugin work when the Advanced Custom Fields plugin is being used?

    Thanks!

    Hi there, which version of ACF are you using? I’ll look into it for sure since I use ACF often as well. But I can’t imagine why they would conflict since I used custom meta boxes with different class names completely. Anyway, let me know if you’re still trying to get it working and I’ll see what I come up with.

    I ended up finding another solution for that project and have since updated the wordpress version. I believe it was something like version 3.8. I would still be very interested in making it work. I just tried to activate FooThumbnail Gallery on a WordPress 4.0.1 installation and received the following error when trying to activate the plugin:
    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home/hfatzing/public_html/wp-content/plugins/foothumbnails-for-galleries/includes/ftg-metaboxes.php on line 458

    Thanks!

    Hmmm… I JUST tested it on 4.0.1 without a hiccup locally. Any chance I can get a screenshot of your plugins page?

    Sure. Here is a link to it: screenshot

    Can you try disabling the TN3 Gallery and then activate FooThumbnails? That’s my best guess in terms of a plugin conflict because I can’t reproduce the error locally at all yet.

    I just tried that but still got the same error.

    OK. Well, in my testing last night I found a couple issues with the latest version of WordPress, but nothing that would cause that. Still, it looks like this needs some re-writing anyway. At this point, I wouldn’t expect a major update that might resolve this for you before the New Year. Look for it around mid-January. Wish it could be sooner, but I have actual “paid” work to do. I love this plugin, it was my first, and I’m committed to keeping it going, so don’t worry, “I’ll be back!”.

    Thanks! I look forward to seeing what you have in store for it! I will keep it in mind for future projects.

    Hi @mcawphoto,

    Just wanted to give you a heads up that the heavily re-worked version of this in in the works. It should allow me to make updates and add new features much more seamlessly going forward. I hope to release it within the next couple weeks. Thanks!
