The theme I use, Pagelines, allows me to edit it as one of its options however this is not an Eazyest Gallery question.

Here’s one of the many links that may help.

I haven’t looked at that exactly however I use Lightbox to open up when each thumbnail is clicked. I set the width and height to 100% so it fills the screen but once opened, allows the user to navigate the full size images using the buttons on the screen.

FTP uploading of images – folder rename failed
On my local machine, I had each photo folder/album with the first letter in upper case. At upload Eazyest converts to lower case, which is not an issue however if you ever have to reload the folder (for example when when some images failed FTP I resubmitted them which did create an issue as the folder could not be renamed.

e.g. uploaded via FTP 100 images in a folder called album Canada which was renamed canada. Of the 100, there were 10 images that failed to load therefore were again uploaded however these never appeared in the Eazyest gallery as the folder Canada could not be renamed canada as it already existed.

Eazyest Gallery Shortcode On Main Page
I have a separate WP install to handle my photos. Some things I noticed.
1) if putting the eazyest_gallery shortcode on a post, the preview correctly displays the post and pagination works however once the post is published and you click ‘next folders page’ the next page can not be found.
2) if setting a static front page and the selected page has the eazyest_gallery shortcode, the ‘next folders page’ link appears however when clicked the page does not change i.e. the URL has page/2 however the existing page refreshes without navigating to page 2. If you navigate to the static page using the full page URL, then there aren’t any issues.

FYI, I’ve tested this using the Twenty Twelve theme.

After doing a completely fresh WP install, if I loaded my images (already sitting on the server) using CPanel to copy them, then the same issues persisted.

I then removed the plugin, ensured all images were deleted, before loading my 2,000+ images via FTP (not unzipping my copy on the server). To my relief the site behaved correctly until I set the front page as static. Setting the page as static caused the same issues as before.

On my original site, whether I set the front page as static or not is immaterial but I can’t prove it wasn’t the catalyst for issue.

In short, it’s now working but I had to do a fresh install of WP and load the files via FTP not copy those on the server.

Today I have
1) deleted plugin and reinstalled…no change
2) deleted plugin, deleted gallery images, reinstalled plugin, readded images…no change
3) per 2 above, but deleted _cache directory in each folder…no change
4) removed the plugin, all themes, deactivated all plugins, deleted entire gallery. Reinstalled plugin, added a small set of photos…no change

I haven’t created a brand new WordPress install but that would have to be my next attempt.
