captions have word-breaks – how to remove

    MaxGalleria is showing our video captions with word-breaks. In other words, the caption lines are wrapping between letters, not just words, pretty much destroying the legibility.

    Looks like this:
    Artist in resid
    ence reads comp
    osition

    or:
    Rick Walk
    er

    No amount of css trickery seems to tame the problem and we don’t see any MaxGalleria settings to handle this. Anyone have a solution? We just want normal word-wrapping, not mid-word line breaks.

    This will be fixed in the next release, but until then you could use this block. Just add an extra (more specific) identifier at the beginning.

    .mg-image-tiles .mg-thumbs .caption {
	word-break: normal !important;
	word-break: normal !important; /* Non-standard for webkit */
	-ms-word-break: normal !important;
	-o-word-break: normal !important;
	-webkit-hyphens: auto !important;
	-moz-hyphens: auto !important;
	-o-hypens: auto !important;
	hyphens: auto !important;
}

    Unfortunately your suggested css seems to have no effect. Here is what I added to our css file:

    div.mg-thumbs ul li a p.caption {
    font-size: 0.8em;
    line-height: 1em;
    word-break: normal !important; /* Non-standard for webkit */
    -ms-word-break: normal !important;
    -o-word-break: normal !important;
    -webkit-hyphens: auto !important;
    -moz-hyphens: auto !important;
    -o-hypens: auto !important;
    hyphens: auto !important;
    }

    The font-size and line-height alterations take effect on the specified text, everything following them does not. I have confirmed that the css alterations are loading so I believe we are at a dead end here.

    Any idea when a permanent fix will be released?

    We just released 2.3, which should include that fix. If it does not work let us know, but all of our internal tests showed that the issue was resolved.

    Well, this is interesting. I just logged in to the MaxGalleria website hoping to extend my subscription so I can utilize version 2.3 as you suggest above (my subscription expired just a couple weeks ago). Upon logging in I see the following message:

    You have reached the end of your license period and can no longer access the Support Forums or get automatic updates. To continue receiving support and automatic updates, please renew your account by purchasing another license.

    I click on the renew your account link and am brought to a page that gives me lots of options to purchase add-ons for the MaxGalleria core plug-in but NO OPTION TO RENEW MY SUBSCRIPTION for MaxGalleria!

    I am surprised I am having to ask this but HOW DO I RENEW MY SUBSCRIPTION???

    It shouldn’t be surprising because these are support forums for the maxgalleria plugin found here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/maxgalleria

    The plugin you’re asking for support with now is not distributed on www.ads-software.com. It is a commercial plugin.

    Plugin Author johnbhartley

    Andrew is correct. You can download v2.3 from that link. For more information on when we switched from paid to platform please refer to this article: https://maxgalleria.com/blog/grandfathering-existing-maxgalleria-customers/

    For the core plugin, this is the major support area. For any of the add-ons, the forums are on the maxgalleria.com site.

    I was not aware that MaxGalleria had changed to a platform model. When I last signed in to MaxGalleria I was able to download version 2.2.2

    Andrew and John, I am only using MaxGalleria version 2.2.2 and never installed any add-ons so I am requesting help in the correct place, no?

    Please verify: MaxGalleria version 2.2.2 is just the core plugin without any of the functionality found in the new add-ons, correct?

    Plugin Author johnbhartley

    (@johnbhartley)

    Correct. MG 2.0 forward was the core plugin so you should be able to download 2.3 without issue. Are you not able to download 2.3?

    I AM able to download version 2.3. I was just still confused about whether I was using a pre-platform version that would loose functionality when updated to the core version.

    That isn’t the case so we’re good. Thanks for all the help!
