ahhhh, I didn’t realize that! I’ll give it a try. They don’t really offer support. Really regret purchasing a theme!

I really appreciate the response though. I guess I will just go back to version 4.5, unless they surprise me with a response.

Cheers!

Yes I will find another anti-spam plugin, it doesn’t appear they are handling support of their plugin.

Thanks again =)

resolved

Sitebrains plugin was the culprit!

It is only supposed to be blocking spam comments. UGH! Going to let them know now.

Thank you again for your help!! Wonderful plugin!!!

photocrati replied w/ a standard email of we can’t provide any support with an issue with a 3rd party plugin.

eta: I just switched themes to twenty-twelve to troubleshoot, that SAME validating icon appears and prevents the download. Apparently one of the plugins I have is doing this?? Back to troubleshooting!

So glad I asked before I did anything!! Thanks ??

I’ll shoot photocrati an email and let you know.

I really appreciate the fast response!!

Thanks again

I did have a form builder, but I deactivated and the problem persisted.

That validating box is the same that pops up on password protected galleries, so I believe its part of photocrati =(

It seems like the constant ABSPATH defined in wp-load.php is causing the download to “die” as instructed in gallery-download.php?

I’m wondering if I could bypass that and it would then work

I (think I) see what the problem is

from gennext gallery-download.php
<?php if (!defined (‘ABSPATH’)) die (‘No direct access allowed’); ?><?php if (!empty ($gallery)) : ?>

Is this plugin incompatible w/ photocrati 4.5?

I added debugging, here is the log

YES! it did!! I got so frustrated last night with it I had deactivated it, but went ahead and re-activated it, tried your fix and it does now.

However now my titles (h1) on each excerpt are running up into the previous image thumbnail.

I could add space via the margin in where h1 displays, but that isn’t really a clean fix. I can’t figure out a way to write code to tell h1 that its position should be relative the thumbnail, rather than the excerpt.

As an answer to your question, the excerpt display is defaulting to wordpress’s excerpt of 55 words and their ending of it […]
you can add code to your function.php file of your child theme

scroll down to the heading:
Displaying a “more…” link when using the the_excerpt()

hope that helps!

Guds what did you do to fix it?

I am having the same issue you described above, I am running the same versions. I installed as described and it is doing nothing.

Thanks!
