Tiled Galleries Not Displaying

Thanks Jeremy — it’s becoming clear that Jetpack is not at fault, so I’ll try to take it up with lightbox plugin makers (of which none have responded in a week, but that’s beside the point!). Thanks for your time/effort on my behalf, even when it isn’t really your plugin’s issues that are causing all the problems. Jetpack’s Tiled Gallery looks fine — the lightbox options are not working.

Case in point: just got the 2nd lightbox item to work by (as you suggested) redoing the Gallery and tweaking the Appearance settings for that particular plugin — but it only worked for the link: https://dev.cherrycountyplayhouse.org/scrapbook/tommy/, not for: https://dev.cherrycountyplayhouse.org/scrapbook/the-presidents/ etc. So, that is where I will have to dig further.

Thanks again,

Just FYI, I found a “fix”, though I’m not sure what did it — seems to be a glitch in WordPress Galleries > Media File vs. Attachment Page settings…

I got another tiled gallery to open lightbox images at: https://dev.cherrycountyplayhouse.org/scrapbook/the-presidents/

What I did was Edit the gallery, and no matter what it said the Gallery “Link To” option was, I set it to Attachment Page, clicked Update Gallery, then the overall Update for the post. It gave (predictably) the attachment page.

When I went back into edit the Gallery settings, I switched that to Media File, and Updated both it and the post/page. This 3rd changeover made the proper lightbox function.

Now to do the same for 50+ other galleries… :-/ Unless you can spot the issue? I tried to reset Permalinks, as I noticed that sometimes fixes similar issues. No luck…

Bizarro.

Also, another member alerted me to a known issue in WP3.5.1 — for some reason, despite being marked as a link-to-media, the shortcode (in the Text tab) for the gallery is lacking:

link="file"

Adding that is the equivalent of doing the steps I previously mentioned. Hope that helps someone else in a similar predicament.
