Gallery won't display as Demo video.

  • Hi, I hope that you can help me: I’ve installed and set up SG and you can see the results here: https://www.mcsherry.ie/index.php/art/exhibitions-2014/the-52nd-state-of-mind/

    No matter what I do with the settings, I can’t get it to do what you have in your demo video. For example, with the setting in the media gallery at ‘Attachment Page’ and ‘Default JQuery setting.

    What happens is that if I click on a thumbnail, I don’t get a nicely boxed-off image with an “X” in the top right hand corner; I get a flat image with an arrow which might not lead to the next image in the gallery -it could be any image that’s next in line in the Media Gallery.

    I’m using the Twenty-Thirteen theme.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Kevin,
    it seems you’re having a jQuery conflict on your site.

    Please note that you are using an old version of Simplest Gallery: from your page source:

    – Added by Simplest Gallery Plugin v. 3.3 –

    You should upgrade, as in version 3.4 we have have introduced countermeasures for this type of conflicts.

    Secondly, if once upgraded the problem persists then you have got another plugin using a different conflicting jQuery version (or using similar classes).

    We have tested Simplest Gallery on TwentyThirteen so I know for sure it should work, at least on a plain install.

    By inspecting the page source I see there is another similar plugin named wp-video-lightbox which does similar things and is using jQuery too.
    This is the first on my suspects list.

    It’s easy to assess if the problem is there by temporarily disabling it and then seeing if the gallery works.

    Since you probably need that plugin, though, another way round to the problem is installing another gallery style (we have got FancyBox2 and LightView addons available for free on Simplest Gallery site) which might not clash with wp-video-lightbox as they are slightly different. plus, LightView is responsive.

    https://www.simplestgallery.com/add-ons/lightview-gallery-style-plugin/

    check out these then. Once you have installed the plugins, change your Simplest Gallery preferences so the newly added style is used by default.

    Sooner or later we’ll add a new lightbox style addon which is not based on jquery hence these conflict cases (eventhough rather rare) will be gone for good.

    All the best,

    Hi Kevin, did you solve it? Can I close this thread?
