OK thanks. I was confused by the double check boxes.
It works now

Happy to read that.
The website is a multiblog (one installation of wordpress with multiblog) and runs on PHP 7.4, so it might be a very specific case.

Please note that rolling back to plugin version 1.9.1 did restore functionality to normal.

Confirmed – it crashed my site too.

Please look at the installed plugins on your website.

For sure, you had
1- simplest gallery (main plugin – engine)
2- a style addon plugin “for Simplest Gallery” (most likely outdated)

The style addon adds a new type of gallery but it needs the main plugin to work! So, if you uninstall the main plugin (1) the addon might not work or – if it is an old version – it will complain and ask you to install & activate the main plugin.

So either you uninstall / deactivate both, or you keep at least the main plugin (1) working.

Hope it helps

Hello, most likely yiu are using an obsolete version, that message has been suppressed in recent versions.

So just uninstall the plugin, and download new versions of plugin+style addon.

Please note that the plugin does not midify your posts so all your galleries will remain there, just they will be rendered differently.

No, I’m sorry, I do not have a plan for including support to Gutemberg. I don’t use it at all.

I am downgrading the compat of the plugin to WP 4.9 and placed an indication for WP 5 users on the readme, Classic editor is mandatory for correct use on WP 5.

You need an alternative then. Sorry

Hello, sorry, no. It will work only with Classic editor, because Gutemberg uses different codes.

Your question reminds me it must be noted in the plugin docs.

Then you’d better switch to some other solution. Sorry again!

Hello,
yes I developed Simplest Gallery after having some 70 galleries originaly made with NextGen becoming totally unusable after a version upgrade.

Simplest Gallery works upon WordPress base and, if you uninistall it, the galleries remain as they are rendered by the theme in use.

There is language support and a few trasnlation files as long as I remember although a few less critical messages might not have been internationalized.

You might want to give it a try

Hello,
I see, but it is beyond the scope of the fancybox gallery to do this.

Actually you should be able to obtain a same-size, square cropped version of the images if you use the thumbnails to show on the page – check if you have something similar to this in your gallery:

View post on imgur.com

In general, automatic cropping of different images is a typical problem: one user wants the image to be placed into a canvas, another is happy with the picture cropped at best effort, another wants to have it cropped to the top… impossible to find a solution that fits all. You might find a gallery plugin that does the cropping by default, although I cannot recommend one.

The best way to tackle this issue (as long as I see it) is to upload already cropped images, all with the same size.

@mastafu thanks for the patch! it works for me!

@marius, I reckon that knowing which plugins need to be updated can a plus. But there are also situations where these messages are a problem.
For example, if I set up a wordpress site for a customer he will bounce to me complaining he sees “strange messages” he does not understand.
According to his judgment, now that I upgraded WP it’s working worse than before. It’s clearly not true, but I see their point.
In cases where I do not have nor the time nor the budget to chase authors of plugins I will have to end up rolling back to WP 5.4 and just apply security updates.
A good alternative to this as far as I see it, is to let the admin decide if he wants to see warnings or not. I some cases I will look at them and act, in others I cannot do it.

Anyway, it’s clearly just my opinion.

Hello, I had the same issue and I confirm that the plugin named:

Enable jQuery Migrate Helper

solves it even though it will trigger warnings in the backoffice – at least you can work.

Hello,
you will find a quick video tutorial on how to create a gallery here:

Hope it helps,

Hello, I have made a change in order to remove image number where a title has been set for the image (it will however show “Image N / NN” if no title has been set).

The change will be incorporated in the next release but since I don’t know when it will happen, and since it’s possible that in your website the code of lightbox has been twekaed already, I recommend you apply this fix simply by changing the lines 147-149 from:

		"titleFormat"		: function(title, currentArray, currentIndex, currentOpts) {
			return "<span id=\'fancybox-title-over\'><span id=\'fancybox-title-pretext\'>'.__('Image','simplest-gallery').' </span>"+(currentIndex+1)+" / " + currentArray.length + (title.length ? " &nbsp; " + title : "") + "</span>";
		}';

to this:

		"titleFormat"		: function(title, currentArray, currentIndex, currentOpts) {
			return "<span id=\'fancybox-title-over\'><span id=\'fancybox-title-pretext\'>" + (title.length ? title : ("'.__('Image','simplest-gallery').'" +(currentIndex+1)+" / "+currentArray.length) ) + "</span></span>";
		}';

Apply this fix on the file lightbox.php.
Save and then test.

If it works, and you don’t wont the “Image #” to appear at all in any case, even when there is no title for the image, you can further replace this part

+ (title.length ? title : ("'.__('Image','simplest-gallery').'" +(currentIndex+1)+" / "+currentArray.length) ) +

with this

+ title +

You can see the fix in action at this page: https://vic20reloaded.com/vic-20-cartridge-games-collection-1a/
as you can see “Image N / NN” before the title does not appear.

Hope it helps!

I see. Let me check it on my own site.
I think this fix would be beneficial to all for the next release.
This image numbering is something which I would get gladly rid of.
