LPBaker

Trying to edit existing pages is also broken. Adding the debug code to wp-config has fixed it.

Hi Jeremy,

I think I’ve got it, and boy, it’s subtle. The problem occurs if you enter lightbox mode *before* the page finishes loading.

Take a look at this movie – https://www.lpbaker.com/incognito.mov (35.2Mb, sorry it’s a big file). Filmed in an incognito window as requested, although that actually doesn’t matter as it turns out.

First I go to portraits, and it works fine. Then places, and it’s fine. But next – animals – displays the bug. Watch the video, you’ll see I clicked on the first animal thumbnail before the page load finishes. Next I go to nudes, which works fine, then I go to places – and again, click before the page loads completely – and the bug shows up again.

To make sure I wasn’t crazy I tried the same process in Safari, which up to now had seemed fine, and the bug appears there too.

You can probably tell from the video, our internet isn’t the fastest here and I tend to be impatient, and perhaps those two factors are why I have the problem and you don’t ??

I’m pretty confident that if you set up a site with a couple of really large galleries that took a while to load in your browser, you’d be able to reproduce this. I hope so, anyway. I was a computer programmer for over 20 years and I know how infuriating these sorts of bugs are!

Many thanks,
Lindsay

I can do one better – here’s a movie of it happening …
https://www.lpbaker.com/TiledGalleryBug.mov (5.2Mb)

The steps – start at https://www.lpbaker.com
– select the Portraits gallery and click on the first image to get the lightbox
– click right five times
– click the “X” (sorry, the video cut that part of the screen off)
… instead of returning to the portraits page, it goes back to the homepage.

What the video doesn’t show, because I didn’t think to try it until afterwards, is if I click “forward” in the browser, it goes back not just to the portraits page but to the lightbox gallery, but starting on the image I first clicked on, not the image that was displayed when I closed the lightbox.

I did try clearing the browser history in Chrome and even restarted the computer, but the problem persists.

Sorry for my slow replies, but I’ll definitely help you work through this when I can!

Many thanks,
Lindsay

Hi Jeremy,

You were quite right for the first problem, $content_width wasn’t being set correctly by the theme, which we were able to confirm and then work around using the Custom Content Width plugin. The developer is going to fix that in the next update.

As for the navigation issues, it only seems to happen in Google Chrome, but it is doing it consistently.

Thanks,
Lindsay
