Hi there. The option you are looking for is not there.
You have to follow the steps bellow:
1. create post page
2. add media
3. create gallery
4. select images and press the button at the bottom – create new gallery 5. then you’ll see new window with the selected images and gallery options on the right
6. in the type field you have to select tiled mosaic and then press insert gallery button
7. update your post/page and check in the browser. if the change is not applied probably your hosting uses caching – delete the cache and then check again.
Hope it helps

Hi there, I hope you managed to fix your issue, but if not try removing the space between…1509, 1510… so it should look like [mpress_image_refresh attachment=”1509,1510″ size=”full”]

Thank you very much for your reply. Probably it will be easy to recreate and use all the galleries with Unite Gallery which can make transition to pro even easier.

I believe I found the reason for that behavior – somehow an extra margin of 30% is added to the site content which was overwriting the initial 30%.
Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Hello Kathryn, Thank you for your response. Unfortunately I have installed the theme and WordPress locally for testing first to see how it goes.
Trying your suggestions solved the overlapping in the first screenshot I’ve provided. However when I try to resize the browser windows the second overlapping – the sidebar over the content appears. Can it be something with the media queries? Now I haven’t installed anything else it is just WordPress, the theme, some dummy content as you can see and twitter widget code in a txt widget.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards

Hi there,
It took a while but here is the update.

My hosting were very kind and adjusted the amount of memory used (although this wasn’t a problem for all versions up to 0.5.8).
I’ve seen that there is a new version out (0.5.12) so updated it.

It looks that the last 2 versions of the plugin use excessive amounts of memory and other resources (probably some limits must be set)! I don’t know if this is result of the new logic you are talking but it just takes my shared hosting account to its knees.

Unfortunately something doesn’t work again and I get the same error in the front end. However the size of the final archive looks complete (and I have Build Start Build Finished message in the log), so I decided to give it a try and restore it locally in WAMP server.
And everything looks great from the start to finish. With 0.5.10 and 0.5.11 versions the size of the archive was about half of the archive size now.

So locally restored all areas of the website works ok, however I am still not confident enough to do it on the real server and replace the working site. I also noticed in the log that the plugin is unable to set the memory limit again. With kind of no restrictions on this on my hosting it looks like the plugin is not trying to set the limit (not sure if this is the case).

So finally as I said the archive works, but the front end throws an error. And I am sure it is not some kind of a timeout because the old 0.5.8 version takes almost double the time to complete, but there is a successful message and everything works with no problem.

The size of the site to backup is ~53MB. The archive is ~39MB. Basically this is 3/4 WordPress and few extra images.

Kind regards

P.S. I don’t want to sound ungrateful for the great job you are doing. I am just trying to help with that issue to be resolved if possible. But by no means you have to do that. Anyway. Thanks again

Hello again and thanks for your answer.
Basically 3/4 of the archive size is wordpress files. the rest is mine. Which is like 3-5mb. Anyway, I’ll speak with them again as soon as I can and will see what the outcome will be.

Hello and thank you for all your efforts. Unfortunately this version didn’t work as well. I tried all the options under the PHP settings and I receive one and same error. I leave enough time between the tries to make sure the server is not pushed too much :). I can put the error log here if you want – I replaced the real paths for security reasons.

I am not an expert in anyway, but is there any chance something else to be the reason for the error. I still get the error for max I/O connections reached. Do you think I have to ask the hosting to activate some option which might help?

I’ve just tried the 0.5.8 version and works like a charm.

Thanks again for all the efforts.

P.S. I’ve just made a screenshot of the resource page if you want to see how the resources are used when the plugin works. I can guarantee that there are no visitors or any other activities at the same time. Taking another look to that screenshot myself it looks like 0.5.8 maybe is using more resources than the last version. Then the error might be somewhere else.

And of course this is the completed page (I removed the personal info from it).

Hi there, thanks for answering so quickly. What is shown on the Scan page is Build Mode: PHP (slow). What I’ve also found in the settings page is:

Database Build
This server does not have shell_exec configured to run.

I am not sure if I must have this enabled, so I’ll get in touch with the hosting to discuss if I they can enable this feature. I suppose however for mysqldump to run.

Thanks.

I am taking it easy…don’t worry about that. I just tried to be as descriptive as possible. The answer you give me now – Thanks! – is the kind of answer I was expecting. I am not asking you to change your priorities, this was never my intention. I’ll obviously change or disable the cron jobs as this is my requirement only.

As I explained in the beginning the resource issues only appear at the same time when the cron jobs from the plugin are started – I checked the plugin logs and my server logs to match the times to seconds. I have no other cron jobs set, or plugins which rely on that functionality, basically I don’t have lots of plugins at all. The site I am experiencing that is a personal blog with few visits and most of the visits of the bots are blocked. Using your plugin also helps to keep bad visitors away.

So my assumptions are based on that. Once I disable and remove the plugin, and clear my database and the cron jobs are gone, the resource issues disappear!

As I said in the beginning as well it might be the hosting is limiting too much resources, but I don’t want to spend hundreds on a hosting for a personal blog.

Thanks again for your last answer – it is much appreciated!

Kind regards

Hi there again. With all my respect but why do you think that the issue is resolved?
I’ll quote myself:

Anyway apart from that the plugin works great with the rest of the things.

To every further explanation I am giving to you why it is not fixed and not performing as it should be, you are only answering with questions or posts which are not relevant! I believe that it is unacceptable for you to send me to another plugin to solve issues with your plugin, which as I said by the way do not fix anything?
I’ll quote myself again as I think you haven’t look at the last post I wrote:

So again I believe there should be a way your cron jobs to be set for a week interval checks only if I’ve selected the option weekly DB backup or Scan. Otherwise the options given there in these menus are simply useless as the cron jobs are running all the time anyway.

Just a little comment: What is the point of having selection menus if whatever we do there it doesn’t matter. Looking at the code the first thing the plugin does once activated is to start these cron jobs. Why? I haven’t selected anything yet at that point! Also as we can see from your code even if I disable the options relevant to the issue and say thanks I don’t need them, the cron jobs are still running for that particular options – it doesn’t matter if I deactivate, activate and whatever else I do to apply the settings, this is the behavior of the plugin. Why my choices haven’t been applied?

While I am not saying that this is a bad behavior for some configurations, on my hosting it triggers resource limits, and I am trying intelligently as you said in post No.3 to control the plugin behavior on my hosting, on my installation, on my site.

I am not expecting intelligent solution, and I also don’t expect there to be one, or definitely not saying that you will be happy to alter your plugin code in order to modify the specific issue/setting either for free or after relevant contribution.
That’s why I simply asked if you check the title of the topic: Can I manually change the cron job interval?

You could’ve just say No.
Really, I don’t see the point of your comments!!

As a plugin contributor I suppose you have the right to set MY topic as resolved, but as I said for me while there is no definitive solution explained by you or another skilful person on the question, it is NOT resolved!

Thank you for taking the time to read my post again.

Hi there again.
I read about the plugins – both looked good, but…
The first one I tried – Cronjob scheduler – gave me

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

. Tried on a few other sites, not a very positive outcome. Anyway – lost enough time with it and just removed it! I didn’t want to install additional plugins anyway!

Second one – WP control – worked ok. Cron jobs are listed and some are manageable, but not WP security ones. They are only listed.

So again I believe there should be a way your cron jobs to be set for a week interval checks only if I’ve selected the option weekly DB backup or Scan. Otherwise the options given there in these menus are simply useless as the cron jobs are running all the time anyway.

That my not be a problem for running a WP site on a private server or expensive, not shared hosting, but on a shared hosting gives at least to me problems, and especially when I specifically select week intervals i expect it to do that.
Even if I disable these options the cron jobs are still running!!! Why?

Anyway apart from that the plugin works great with the rest of the things.
I looked through the plugin files and found the ones (at least visible ones) that handle the cronjobs and will try to modify it to the best of my knowledge, although I am not very good at that.

I really believe there should be a more intelligent and easy to apply solution.

Kind regards

Thank you for the advise. I’ll do the reading and I’ll see what I can select. I just thought there could be an easy way to do it through the plugin itself

Hello mbrsolution and wpsolutions and thank you for your answers. Actually the plugin is working fine and everything is perfect – I should of make this clear.
I don’t have anything else which has set a cron job. The reason that I set everything on a weekly basis is that I am on a shared hosting, and I started to see the resources are getting limited warnings, and this appear next to a cron jobs which are executed exactly in the times when the plugin Cronjob_Handler is firing up – I went through all the logs for a week. Once I disable the plugin (which I obviously don’t want to do) all this stops, that’s why I thought it will be simple to ask if there might be a more intelligent sollution.

That’s why I am asking is there a way to manually set the Cronjob_Handler to check like every 6 or 12 hours or even only once in 24 hours as my settings are set for a weekly basis. As I said the plugin is doing great job, however I believe with weekly basis backups settings,checking every hour is not needed. I suppose I have to change the hosting, but it will be too much and long process.
Thank you for looking into that one more time

Hi there, thank you for your quick answer.
Unfortunately I wasn’t notified for your answer from the system that’s why I am responding later. Sorry.

The good point is that actually this is no more a problem. What I did is reinstalled the browsers, added the adblock extensions again, but the buttons were still visible. I suppose it was something from the browsers, and I will remember to test this option in advance before placing a similar request. Great plugin!!!
