hey @spk100,

I think next step is to reproduce your environment to try and figure this out. What is the output from System Info under FooGallery?

@elviiso, please can you see if you can replicate the issue with Imagify locally?

hey @decard,

In my reply, I said “That button is found on the gallery edit page.”

Edit the gallery, and on the bottom right hand side, you will see a metabox with the button, as Elvis showed in his screenshot.

I have tested this on a brand new WP install with FooGallery installed and the metabox (and button) are both there. If the Thumbnails metabox is not showing for you then check “Screen Options” which is at the very top right of the gallery edit page, and make sure “Thumbnails” is ticked.

But besides the thumbs created by FooGallery, if you have many sizes registered in your WP install (by your theme and other plugins), then all those thumb sizes will be created for each image uploaded and Shortpixel will pick up all of them. That is outside of the control of FooGallery

Hi @aerta,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will look into this and release an update asap.

Looking at the details, the risk is low from a vulnerability POV, as only admins can update the settings.

hi @decard,

Shortpixel will optimise thumbs for both thumbnails auto-generated by WP, and also thumbs generated by FooGallery.

We have no control over the thumbs WP creates when you upload a new image to the media library, but in FooGallery, we control certain thumbs based on the settings you have chosen for your gallery.

The “Thumbnail Size” setting will be the main one, but also the Retina settings you have chosen for the gallery.

Example : if you have a thumbnail size of 100 x 100, then FooGallery will create a thumbnail which is 100×100 to be shown in the gallery. If you have retina 2x and 3x selected, then there will also be a 200×200 and 300×300 thumbnail generated to cater for retina displays.

Also, if you changed your thumbnail size many times when setting up your gallery, then that would also cause more thumbs to be generated at the different retina levels. If that is the case, then it is a good idea to clear thumbnails, as Elvis suggested. Which will clear out any unused thumbs. That button is found on the gallery edit page.

I suggest you do not choose all the retina options, which will reduce the number of thumbs.

@elviiso – let’s create some more detailed docs around this, as I am sure this will be useful info for others with a similar problem

hey @spk100,

I installed the Imagify plugin to test if there was a conflict with FooGallery. On my test environments, they both worked together correctly without any changes.

I was able to step through the code to try and replicate your problem, but I noticed that Imagify worked fine with the FooGallery_Thumb_Image_Editor_GD class we use. This is because that class inherits from the standard GD module.

Looking more closely at the code in Imagify, it calls the test method on the image editor to test compatibility on your server. So it looks like the GD install you have on your server is not setup correctly. Well that is my guess in any case.

So in summary, I do not think the problem is FooGallery_Thumb_Image_Editor_GD, but rather your setup of GD on the server. One way to test this is to deactivate FooGallery and see if Imagify starts to work.

@nicklm – I have released a new version (2.4.7) which fixes the bug. Please update to the latest version and your paging should be restored.

Sorry about this, and thanks for letting us know

@nicklm – it looks like we have introduced a bug in the latest release with our new “features” which allows you to turn off certain features like pagination. I have rolled back to v2.3.3 which you should re-install if you want to get your paging to work again.

Sorry for the inconvenience – we will look into this asap

@karks88 This has been fixed in v1.3 which is available for update

hey @steel-rat,

I had a look at your gallery and copied some of the smaller images across to replicate the problem and find a solution.

What you can try is goto FooGallery Settings -> Images and enable the setting “Upscale Small Images”. Choose an appropriate value for “Upscale Background Color”. For your images I would suggest of “rgb(255,255,255)”.

That fixed the problem and all images that were smaller than 150×150 were uniformly resized.

Give it a try and see if it works for you

hey @mikeiz

Please send a ticket to our premium support and we can increase your license quota for each product so that you can use it on your staging site. Include your license details and link back to this page to give support some context.

what are you using for staging? We usually pickup the fact that it’s a dev site and allow it automatically.

hi @exoddus82

the server folder is only scanned every 24 hours to reduce load on the server. Or if the gallery is saved in the backend. You can reduce the 24 hours to be less using a filter and some custom code, or the cache will automatically be cleared after 24 hours

hi @jjazzbel

You could try adding the custom post type to a filter which will allow FooGallery to save the usage. That is assuming that the events plugin adds a custom post type for adding new events. If so, then you can continue below:

First, you need to find out what the custom post type is. So in your example, it could be event.

Then add this custom code to your theme’s function.php file:

add_filter('foogallery_allowed_post_types_for_attachment', 'my_override_for_usage' );

function my_override_for_usage( $types ) {
    $types[] = 'event';
    return $types;
}

Hey @steveush please take a look at these and see if there is something missing

hi @wingertschnegg

Can you please goto your FooGallery Settings page and under the Language tab, what do you have set for “Image Count Many Text”?

Hey @oldcowhand

thanks for taking the time to write the review.

the issue you describe is definitely a bug and I will add it to the backlog to fix in the next release.

please let us know if you have any other suggestions. If you are moving over from an existing gallery solution, you can also use our migrator plugin

cheers

Brad
