Hi,

I found the error why the six-column gallery is drawing incorrectly. The reason is that the earlier version (2.4.2) calculated the gallery item width with more decimals (cannot remember was it 6 or more), and the latest versions calculate the width with only 2 decimals!

So, in the case of 6 columns, the value 16.67% was interpreted too big and the last image (column) on the row was thrown to the next row. However, adding even only one decimal more (16.667% in this case) corrected the situation.

In the case of lesser amount of columns, the issue wasn’t visible, because the values didn’t exceed the threshold: 2 columns => 50.00% (exact), 3 columns => 33.33% (=less than 100%/3), 4 columns => 25.00% (exact), 5 columns => 20% (exact).

So the error in the Responsive Lightbox & Gallery plugin is, at least, that it calculates the width with too few decimals.

I was able to make a CSS addition to correct the issue temporarily, but please fix the plugin.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you Andrew for your replies and your help!

Actually, I got it working with the beta release and the CSS addition you proposed, except that it needed “!important” to the end (without “!important” didn’t work). And of course quite a bit of tweaking to the widget values. But now it shows the same way also in the editor and live view, which is a big relieve.

The strange thing still is that the original site (not cloned) still draws the buttons as it has always drawn. So, why does the cloning (or building a new page) change the situation?!?!

Thank you again for your help!

Hi, Thank you for the beta release. I tested it, but it didn’t really change the issue.

I made an experiment, as you proposed to change the icon positioning to “right” (both the upper and the lower side button), but that makes the icon to be drawn outside of the “button area” and I cannot get it drawn inside the grey area, see image:

And, what makes it worse, again, is that the wordpress editor window draws it differently than it is drawn on a normal webisite browsing situation, see the image:

Both the icon placement and the box sizing is changed. This is a real nightmare to try to edit the page/widget if the editor and the result don’t match!!!!

There’s no possibility to make the icon placement to center, and I think this is the minimum needed change to solve this kind of a problem…

Please help! Thanks in advance for your help!

Thank you for your reply!

The addition to the CSS Declarations didn’t solve the issue. It changed the placement of the button (upper left) but not its size. See image:

And again, the problem of drawing the buttons differently inside WordPress editor and web browser (as described in the first post) is not solved.

Any other ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Thanks for your fast reply! No, I didn’t do any changes. I just cloned it with Installatron in cPanel.

And that wouldn’t change the problem of drawing the buttons differently inside WordPress editor and web browser.

Thanks George for your quick reply!

Hmmm, I’ve used this theme for several years, first version 1 and then updated to version 2 (on www.ads-software.com).

Yes, I understand, if it’s not anymore supported, but how was I able to update Libre 2 to the version 2.2.8 just two days before on my test site (which is a copy of my official site)????? And now I’m not able to do it on the official site?!?!?!

Version 2.2.8 works on my test site, as well as version 2.2.6 works on my official site (both www.ads-software.com).

Any further ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you!

Latest update (2.4.5) came today, but the problem described in the previous messages is NOT repaired. I reported the fault almost 3 months ago! Please repair the plugin!!!

Still no update to correct this issue?!?!? Really?

@danieliser I tried “disabling accessibility features for that popup via its Advanced settings” and that did solve the problem.

Thanks

@danieliser I updated the plugin again today when I saw there was a new update. But I also noticed that the update didn’t solve the problem described before.

Are you still thinking the plugin updates work as supposed? Or are you investigating the bug I described?

@danieliser – No, that is not correct!!! You can compare the usage of the previous version of Popup Maker in here:
https://www.lauriastala.com/ (has the previous version of popup maker)
with
https://www.lauriastala.com/551 (has the last version of popup maker)
Please scroll the popup window up and down, and see the difference!!!!!

At least your plugin is malfunctioning on Safari 14.0.3 and FireFox 86 (and iPhone).

If you resize the window while the popup is on, then the popup starts to behave as is should. (But who should think that you should resize your window to make the website work.)

However, depending on the size of the window, when you open the popup, it can scroll down partially visible or totally invisible (for instance on an iPhone screen or a small window on a computer screen). This cannot be normal or correct.

Well, you can see it in the following address.
https://www.lauriastala.com/551

In the text, there’s a link/underlined words that get to the popup.

Sorry, cannot set up a real test environment.

Hello Jordy,

thanks for your reply!

As I told before, your plugin worked well before, before updating to WP 5.5.1. The problem occurred ONLY AFTER updating WP.

So, you are saying that it work well with 5.5.1, and blame that te fault is due to another plugin or theme. But I’ve not changed those.

Also my server provider told me that it was specifically this Gallery Custom Links plugin that caused the fault. This very plugin caused a process that first slowed down the website and eventually caused the website getting stuck.

The plugin worked fine until upgrading WP to 5.5.1, and then the page load times grew extensively. The plugin does not work with WP 5.5.1!!!
