Tiles are much different than Jetpack's. Solution?

    I would really like to use this plugin to replace the Slim Jetpack gallery module I’ve used until now. But this is what happens:

    In ‘rectangular tiles’ mode the arrangement and size of the tiles is quite different when using the exact same images (imported in WP in an earlier stage).

    Generally Slim JP’s tiles are somewhat bigger and there are never more than 2 columns in a row. With Tiled Gallery Caroussel the difference between the smallest and largest tile is much bigger (too much for my taste), and it shows 1-3 columns in a row. Not really what I want in this case.

    How can this be?
    Both plugins are based on the same Jetpack plugin. And indeed, comparing some of the files (like math, css e.g) show only little differences… But I’m not really knowledgeable enough to tell.

    More important:
    is there a way to influence the size (and so the arrangement) of the rectangular tiles?

    The Plugin automatically genreate the sizes based on your theme’s content_width https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Content_Width

    Thanks for your response!
    Maybe I should share the solution I’ve found:

    The problem is not the content width (which was set in functions and didn’t change when changing plugins), but the differences between Slim JP’s ’tiled-gallery.php’ file and the one in Tiled Galleries Carousel. The Slim JP version contains some extra code having to do with the gallery calculation.

    So I copied parts of the code from the Slim JP ’tiled-gallery.php’ file that were different into the Tiled Galleries Carousel php file (replacing the plugin name where needed). That did the trick. Now the gallery looks exactly the same as when using Slim JP (and it also lookes better in my case, a bit more balanced).
    I’m keeping a copy of the changed php file as backup, in case the Tiled Galleries plugin will update.

    I don’t know how those code differences came about. Maybe the two plugins are based on different Jetpack versions? The Slim JP plugin I’ve used is the latest version (2.7.0.1 or 2.9.3)

    Thanks, by the way, for an otherwise great and welcome plugin!
