Thanks Anders,

hmm. I’m certain there was no list of pages in my menu when I first switched to Koji, and I visit the site pretty often to check on things I think I would have noticed if this had changed long ago. Is it possible I had some kind of workaround (like an empty primary menu) already in place that no longer worked due to an update in WP itself? I can see you rationale, what does not make sense is why this changed for me where a list of pages suddenly appeared in my menu without me making any changes…

I also had to change it for the mobile menu:

Lines 163-179 (header.php)

`<ul class=”site-nav reset-list-style” id=”mobile-menu” role=”navigation”>
<?php
if ( has_nav_menu( ‘mobile-menu’ ) ) {
wp_nav_menu( array(
‘container’ => ”,
‘items_wrap’ => ‘%3$s’,
‘theme_location’ => ‘mobile-menu’,
) );
} else {
// Removed by bbogart
//wp_list_pages( array(
// ‘container’ => ”,
// ‘title_li’ => ”,
//) );
}
?>
</ul>`

As the gallery behaviour is totally inconsistent with the normal image insertion behaviour (I can think of no reason they should not be consistent) I’ll consider this a bug and submit as such.

In my case the full-size image is not used in the gallery, but the 1024 down-scaled one. Here is the code for one of the figures in the gallery:

<figure><a href="https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/23.sigma35.e0.5-811x1024.png"><img src="https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/23.sigma35.e0.5-811x1024.png" alt="" data-id="4868" data-link="https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/2019/early-full-resolution-explorations/23-sigma35-e0-5/" class="wp-image-4868" srcset="https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/23.sigma35.e0.5-811x1024.png 811w, https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/23.sigma35.e0.5-420x530.png 420w, https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/23.sigma35.e0.5-238x300.png 238w, https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/23.sigma35.e0.5-768x970.png 768w, https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/23.sigma35.e0.5.png 1109w" sizes="(max-width: 811px) 100vw, 811px" /></a></figure>

So srcset is included, and does include the proper thumbnail sizes. So why is sizes set to "(max-width: 811px) 100vw, 811px"? Also the href links to https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/23.sigma35.e0.5-811×1024.png (the down-scaled version, not the “media file”).

The code below is the same figure included without the gallery:

<figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/23.sigma35.e0.5.png"><img src="https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/23.sigma35.e0.5-420x530.png" alt="" class="wp-image-4868" srcset="https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/23.sigma35.e0.5-420x530.png 420w, https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/23.sigma35.e0.5-238x300.png 238w, https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/23.sigma35.e0.5-768x970.png 768w, https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/23.sigma35.e0.5-811x1024.png 811w, https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/23.sigma35.e0.5.png 1109w" sizes="(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px" /></a></figure>

Where sizes = "(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px" which selects appropriately my thumbnail size. Also the href links to “https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/23.sigma35.e0.5.png (the “media file”, not the down-scaled version).

It would be nice to know if this is a bug, or a configuration challenge in order to more forward.

Hmm. I used “Theme Test Drive” to switch to twentynineteen, and then created a new gallery and the same (stuck to 1024px) problem persists (when I preview the post). Then I disabled all my add-ons, created a new gallery, and the problem still persists. Since I could not use Theme Test Drive with plugins disabled, I ended up using the built in “Live preview” of twentynineteen, and the problem persists.

In terms of reproducing the problem, here are links to the full resolution version of my images. I’m wondering if it’s related to the (relatively) high resolution of my files?

@bcworkz , does it work fine if you make a gallery from these images?

Looks like image sizes in the built-in gallery block is a bit of a mess:

https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/5674

So I’ll just leave things as they are, as these issues are out of my (reasonable) control. I suppose I’ll likely have to go back and fix galleries when these issues are fixed in a future WP release.

Hello @bcworkz, Based on what are you assuming I’m using a converted gallery? I have not used the gallery feature until switching to the blocks UI. I seem to be on the latest version of WP (5.2.2) and I’ve added these galleries by doing:

Click “Add Gallery” icon.
Drag the images I want in the gallery on the gallery block
Wait for images to upload.
Select “Link to” to “Media File”

The editor looks like this: Screenshot

This results in the gallery using the 1024x thumbnails and not linking to media files: Post Link

I confirm the source shows the same pattern:

<img src="https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/SOMResults_Close-Wide-Arch_Sigma0.333_i50000-no-sort-detail-i.collage-1024x1024.jpg" alt="" data-id="4759" data-link="https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/?attachment_id=4759" class="wp-image-4759"/></a></figure></li>

So I have no idea what I could do differently to use the gallery block the way it should be used to avoid these issues.

Thanks @bcworkz ! That Additional CSS code did the trick.

@joyously Looking at the gallery, it’s not using my 420x thumbnail size, but the 1024x scaled-down size. I don’t see anything in the gallery settings about setting this, but it seems odd it would not by default use the thumbnail size.

Also, I have my gallery set to link to “media file”, but it does not link to the original images, but only (again) the 1024x images (i.e. the image and the link are the same). I confirm looking at the code:

<figure><a href="https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/dsc_0151-1024x685.jpg"><img src="https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/dsc_0151-1024x685.jpg" alt="" data-id="4644" data-link="https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/?attachment_id=4644" class="wp-image-4644"/></a></figure>

The image src should use the thumbnail:
https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/dsc_0151-420×281.jpg

The ahref should be to the full-sized image:
https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/dsc_0151.jpg

What is going on here? Why would we want a gallery that ignores the thumbnail settings and does not even link to the full-sized images?

Ok, now another file is showing a similar pattern, its quite a lot smaller and yet will not upload from the “add media” button while editing a post, but uploaded fine when using the media library directly:

https://www.ekran.org/ben/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/learn_sequence_epoch-filtered-10.results-thumb-crop.png

Ok, I did not realize how big the file was.

Scaling from 4180×3050 to 1393×1016 seemed to solve the problem.

Actually I found a beta ZIP of the latest version, it seems to work fine in WP 3.3.1:

https://www.whoismanu.com/wp-content/photoq/beta/2_0/photoq-photoblog-plugin.zip

Maybe if all those interested post on the authors site, it’ll generate some new effort…

After a lot of digging it seems a plugin for this once existed:

https://www.whoismanu.com/photoq-wordpress-photoblog-plugin/

but appears long since gone…

I wish I could have this too. I have an old-school site where all the content is in posts, and all my navigation is based on category structure. “Content” is artworks, one per post.

Now I want to add a section for my photography, but creating a new post for each image is a pain, I just want to upload a bunch of images, and have them manifest as individual posts in a particular category.

none of the photo plugins seem to do anything this *simple* just more complex things with fancy galleries and such…

I just upgraded to 3.0.4 and this issue is there.

When will it be fixed in stable versions?
