Flickr on Photonic – photos not displaying

Hard to say since I don’t keep up with Elementor changes. I guess Elementor changed some behaviour that stopped supporting the JavaScript loading mode for Photonic. Use the PHP loading mode in Photonic if you want to use an Elementor widget.

Here is the documentation for the load modes: https://aquoid.com/plugins/photonic/optimization/#modes.

I tried changing to PHP, but still not loading any images.

Did you recreate the gallery / widget after changing it?

I tried that, no success. Code:

`[flickrgallery type=’flickr’ view=’photosets’ user_id=’188989364@N08′ columns=’3′ count=’12’ popup=’hide’ load_mode=’js’ layout=’square’]

It seems to only be affecting the module as added via Elementor

In the code you pasted, you still have load_mode=‘js’. That is what I asked you to change to php.

Great, that worked. I changed it in the settings as you said. However it needed to be changed in the Elementor Photonic Module setup as well. Thanks…

The option in the main settings is used as the default. If you remove the value from the shortcode, it will whatever is in the main settings. If you have a specific value in the shortcode, it will override whatever is in the main settings.

Okay. We still seem to have an issue. All this after the most recent updates on the site…

1) When viewing the photo page (gallery) it only showed a singe photo.

I then changed it to use slide show with thumbnails. This too is not working correctly. It shows a massive sized photo with left and right arrows to browse photos but no thumbnail navigation bar.

2) Then, why is that link so long? Is there an option to get this shorter? Makes it easier to share etc…

Okay. We still seem to have an issue. All this after the most recent updates on the site…

What sort of changes? The last Photonic update was a couple of weeks back. It would seem like your other site components change things fundamentally, causing other things to break. It would help if you start inspecting those plugins or your theme for such breakages.

1) When viewing the photo page (gallery) it only showed a singe photo.

I then changed it to use slide show with thumbnails. This too is not working correctly. It shows a massive sized photo with left and right arrows to browse photos but no thumbnail navigation bar.

Switch back to the regular gallery mode. Apart from the slideshow mode being a very bad mode for displaying large galleries (i.e. it results in poor user experience), it is much harder to troubleshoot conflicts with other plugins.

As of now, I can see that something on your site introduced “lazy loading”. You will have to disable it – that is replacing the Flickr photos with placeholder images that look really bad in the main slideshow, and is completely killing the photos in the thumbnail strip. Also, you need to talk to the theme or plugin author who introduced this without letting you know that they were doing so.

I had responded to you regarding this in your first query on the forum: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/url-to-album-for-sharing/

We only did the updates this week, including Photonic.

What do you mean with ‘regular gallery’?
I have changed to another and tried a few different ones but I get no success.

We always seem to have some or the other issue with getting our Flickr photos on our site…

Would really appreciate your help with this.

Thanks, Andrew

I have already provided you with what you need to do in my previous post: one of the things you updated introduced a “lazy loading” feature that is messing with all Photonic galleries. You need to disable whatever it is that introduced this lazy loading.

also on other pages the photo albums are not displayed correctly. See:

Not sure if you are going through my responses – in 2 posts above this I have provided the fix: one of your plugins (or your theme) activated a “lazy loading” feature. Disable that – that is causing issues, not Photonic.

Hi Sayontan,

I do read the posts, my apologies for not getting it as you see it. I have disabled the Fastest Cache Plugin and can not see any other LazeLoad plugin active, however it is still resulting in the exact same results.

Can you possibly be more specific with the details? I do appreciate your help.

Thanks
