Page 2 link in gallery links to refreshes site to homepage

Hi @jonb1987,

I have checked the browser’s console and it looks like your theme throws a couple of JS errors and that breaks NextGen Gallery’s pagination.

Please contact your hosting provider and ask them to fix the JS errors or switch to a different theme in order to get this issue solved.

Hi Mihai,

I have fixed the two JS errors that the site was throwing out, but the problem with the gallery still stands. Any other ideas?

Regards,

Jon

Hi Jon,

Sorry for the delays. Can you please switch to a different permalink setting from “Settings -> Permalinks” then wait for 15 minutes and try again to see if that will change anything?

Also, please make sure that you aren’t using any redirects or .httaccess rewrites that would affect NextGen’s pagination.

Mihai

Hi Mihai,

No problem at all. Ok I have changed the permalink settings back to plain and waited, but to no effect.

I can also confirm that there is only 1 redirect in place (http > https) and that .htaccess is default.

Any other ideas? If it helps, I have now been advised that everything works fine on posts and on pages, it is only on this modified category page where the pagination isn’t working.

Regards,

Jon

Hi @jonb1987,

Thanks for trying the suggestions from above.

This makes me think that it could somehow conflict with the theme’s pagination for the category archive.

I hope that you wouldn’t mind trying to temporarily activate Twenty Seventeen theme to see if the pagination will work.

Please let us know,
Mihai

Hi Mihai,

I’ve checked your theory, and you are correct. The Ngallery pagination is missing the category directory. Could you point me in the direction of where the pagination is written, and I’ll have a look see if I can correct it?

Thanks,

Jon

From what I can tell, I need to add an additional check for a get_the_category ID, between the check for a post ID, and the final url = permalink. What do you think?

Hi @jonb1987

Sorry about the late response.
We were wondering if you could share with us your current shortcode so we can try to replicate that in our end.

Are you currently using “Ajax Pagination”? (Enable AJAX pagination option under “Customize display settings” tab)

Hi Gaby,

No worries at all, current shortcode is;

[ngg_images source=”galleries” container_ids=”24″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails” override_thumbnail_settings=”1″ thumbnail_width=”240″ thumbnail_height=”160″ thumbnail_crop=”1″ images_per_page=”20″ number_of_columns=”0″ ajax_pagination=”0″ show_all_in_lightbox=”0″ use_imagebrowser_effect=”0″ show_slideshow_link=”1″ template=”default” order_by=”sortorder” order_direction=”ASC” returns=”included” maximum_entity_count=”500″]

I have turned on AJAX pagination as thought is may help, but it had no effect, so it is currently off (as you can see in the shortcode).

Thanks,

Jon

Hi Guys,

Any more thoughts on how I can implement a get_category_ID line into the plugins code so that the pagination works correctly within a category page?

Thanks,

Jon

Hi @jonb1987

Let’s try something.
Remove the gallery and re-insert the gallery display.
Does that work for you?

If the problem persists, could you please check your permalinks settings and see if changing those will fix the issue?

Please, keep us posted.

Hi Gaby,

Yes we’ve tried the above. As mentioned in my previous posts, the problem seems to be that the plugin’s pagination code does not have a line for retrieving the category ID, only post ID, and failing that it searches for a page permalink.

I’m looking for a solution whereby I can insert a line of code in the pagination IF query whereby it checks for a category ID before resorting to looking for a permalink.

Thanks,

Jon

Hi @jonb1987

We want to take a closer look at this problem you are currently experiencing with NextGen Gallery’s pagination. We may need to deactivate plugins and switch the theme while troubleshooting temporarily. Would you feel OK with that? If so, please send us a bug report here: https://www.imagely.com/report-bug, refer back to this forum thread and let them know Gaby referred you.

Note: Please include the URL to this forum.

Thanks!

Because it has been a month or more since your last reply, I am going to mark this as resolved as I assume you have found a solution. Please feel free to reply again if you still have questions.
