crazeann, just to confirm, are you saying that when you change the code in the HTML to [gallery column="4"], WP properly saves the URL you enter into the “Link URL” field? I tried that and it didn’t work for me on 3.0.1.

BTW, one of the developers responded to the bug but wanted more clarification. I’ve provided that; hopefully it’s sufficient.

I reopened the bug on this. It was actually pretty easy – the forums and the Trac site use the same logins.

venedictus, it sounds like we both want to do the same thing. I have proposed it as an idea here: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/ideas/topic/mixed-media-galleries

Please go to the link above and vote for this idea to encourage the developers to add it to the WP core!

I guess that’s not too surprising since the developers think that the bug has been fixed: https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/12315

I think the thing to do would be to re-open the bug. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to do that. Anybody know how?

VSHoward, it’s not fixed in 2.9.2, but my understanding is that it is fixed in the nightly. I suggest you try downloading and installing that.

Looks like this issue has been fixed: https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/12315

I haven’t been able to confirm it though.

I came upon this searching for something else. There’s an article and subsequent discussion here that may be helpful.

Same issue here on 2.9.2.

My understanding is that Matt did not import his images from his Menalto Gallery install into WP. If you check out his site, his WordPress galleries only go back to November 2007 and I know that he had many more (thousands?) of photos prior to that. As far as I can tell, his Menalto Gallery images are no longer accessible from his site.

Regarding Matt’s comments on this, I remember him saying something about this when the new WP gallery feature was first introduced. However, I believe that he was referring to the fact that he had simply added many photos into WP and not that he had imported them into WP from his Menalto Gallery.

I’ve been searching for a script that can import my Gallery2 library into WP, but unfortunately have come up empty. As such, I am continuing to use Gallery2 instead of the WP gallery feature.

Yay! I fixed the problem. In Mac OS X (10.3.8), you have to set the AllowOverride variable to All in two places in the httpd.conf file. My problems stemmed from only having set this in one place.

This is the first place as described in the WordPress codex (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Using_Permalinks):


<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>


And this is the second place:


# This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can
# override. Can also be "All", or any combination of "Options", "FileInfo",
# "AuthConfig", and "Limit"
#
AllowOverride All


Once I did that, everything seems to work. Hopefully this info will help other Mac users and perhaps users on other platforms whose http.conf files may be set up similarly.

I should add that I have a standard 1.5 install with no plugins.

My .htaccess file has chmod 664. I am the owner and www is the group so it should be fine. However, just for grins, I changed the chmod to 666 but it still doesn’t work.

Any other ideas?

Hi all,

I am having what appears to be the same problem as fluideye. In my case, I am running WP off a home server (Mac OS X 10.3.8). I’ve got WP all set up and running and have even created my own theme, but am running into difficulty getting Permalinks to work. I’ve read through https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Using_Permalinks and came upon this thread in my forum search.

mod_rewrite is correctly installed on Apache as indicated by my PHPInfo file. I am using the default WP permalink URL structure. I’ve set AllowOverride in my httpd.conf file to “All” from “None”. My .htaccess file has been created and is modifiable by WP (I can see it and modify it from within WP). I’ve restarted Apache. Everything seems to be the way it’s supposed to be. When I hover over the links, they are correct, but when I click on the links, I get a “Not Found” error.

It sounds like the same problem as fluideye. Fluideye, your website appears to be down right now, but did you resolve this problem as the previous poster indicated? If so, please share the solution! ??

Roger
