Hi there,
yes of course, here’s the basic:
a) Activate the plugin in your plugin’s page

b) Put this shortcode in some page or post: [autoGrid] and then check out that page and you should be able to see a gallery right away (since the plugin comes with a default one)

c) Probably you want to put your own images and folders, so connect with FTP to your server (where you have the WP files) and navigate to this location: wp-content/plugins/autoGrid/gallery that’s the gallery folder, so you can just drag and drop your images in there and you will see the changes automatically in your page/post once you refresh the page.
so when you wish to add/delete images to the gallery, just connect via FTP to your WP and drag and drop images into the gallery folder and that’s it

d) Now if you want to change some settings you can navigate in your WP dashboard to this options page: http://www.davidbo.dreamhosters.com/files/documentation/#Options


c) also you can read the documentation here: http://www.davidbo.dreamhosters.com/files/documentation

I hope this makes sense

Hi there,
unzip in your computer the file that you downloaded from CodeCanyon, then inside you’ll find the docs and a zip file named “autoGrid.zip” that’s the one you need to upload into WP

Best, David

That is what I did David, and I got an error message when it tired to load. (sorry for my delay in answering, I was expecting an email…)

I’ll answer you via email for a faster reply

Hi Michael,
you can place another shortcode in a different page and specify a different folder right in there, for example like this:

[autoGrid directory="gallery2"]

Hi Aear,
I though you had the WP version, this feature is not included in the Stand Alone version

Thanks anyways David!!! you’re a big developer. Thank you for your willingness to answer questions. Have a nice day!!!

thank you

Hi Aear,
In the lightbox there are some sharing buttons in BETA, if you already have the plugin and wish to activate them just go to the autoGrid.js file (in the root directory of the plugin) and find this:

linkOnSamePage: false,

and right after that line add these lines:

fb: true,
twitter: true,
pinterest: true,

that will activate the sharing buttons in the lightbox that look like this: http://www.castlecodeweb.com/files/plugins_comments/autogrid-sharing-buttons-lightbox.png

Best, David

Hi,
in the latest version that file was renamed to “reader.php”, try doing it there

Hi there,
the grid seems to be working correctly on mobile, but I see an issue with the navigation filter bar, is that what you mean? if so just add this pace of CSS:

.category-navbar{
  overflow: hidden;
}
.category-navbar li{
  float: left !important;
}

you can add it at the top of the css/gridGallery.css file of the plugin
Best, David

Thanks for very fast and helpfull suppot. It works.

awesome

Hi there,
I have the plans to upgrade this grid to be based on the Media Boxes, which already has this and many other features, but in the mind time you can add a workaround to do this, first hide the all button with this peace of CSS:

.category-navbar li:first-child a{display: none;}

you can add it anywhere, in the CSS file of the plugin if you want

then in order to choose a default category, open the autoGrid.js file (in the root directory) and right before this line:

})(jQuery);

add this:

setTimeout(function(){ $('.category-navbar').find('li').eq(1).find('a').trigger('click'); }, 300);

so you only need to add 2 lines of code in total, I hope this makes sense

Hi there,
currently I don’t have a light version or something like that for you to test before purchase, but in short you only need to have image in a folder in your WP installation (i.e wp-content/plugins/gallery) and then you can just point the Auto Grid to that “gallery” folder and it will automatically read the images inside.

you can use any method you wish to upload images to a folder in your WP installation, using another plugin or via FTP
I hope it makes sense

Hello,
you only specify the main folder in the shortcode, then you can upload images into that main folder (or even subfolders) any time you want and the plugin will automatically read and display them (you of course would need to refresh the browser if to see the changes)

Best, David

Hi Tobías,
The issue with the centering of the light box image is due to the iframe of Envato, just look at it here: http://www.davidbo.dreamhosters.com/?page_id=2

Social sharing is not included but I’m planning soon to upgrade the all plugin with a way powerful grid an a new brand lightbox
Best,
David

Hi there,
Yes you can, you can use a relative path from the plugins folder, for example:

[autoAlbums directory="../Gallery"]

I hope it makes sense

Hi Chris,
currently the plugin doesn’t read the EXIF data, only the file data, but definitely sounds like a good update

Hello,
well it depends on each time, but maybe is better to ask the author of the theme, since he must know better

I thought that’s who I was talking to = / didn’t pay attention. Sorry.

don’t worry

Hello,
can you show me a living example online of this issue? so I can see what’s going on

contact me privately through here: http://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact (form on the right) so we can continue this support via email

I just email you

got it

Hi there,
yes, please send me a link so can see what’s going on, you can contact me privately through here: http://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact (the form on the right)

Hello,
you can fix this warning by doing the following:
open the index.php file (inside the plugins folder) and find this:

AGRG_Options::add_menu_page();

then replace it for this:

$AGRG_Options = new AGRG_Options();
$AGRG_Options->add_menu_page();

and that should fix it

I’ll try to include this in the next update

Hello,
You can change it by modifying the JS in order to get 2 characters before the dash, just open the autoGrid.min.js file and find this:

.substr(1,1)

then replace it for this:

.substr(2,1)

and that should do the trick

I hope this make sense,
Let me know how it goes
Best, David

Ohh sorry, forgot you are using the WP version, open the autoGrid.js file (in the root of the plugin directory) and put it at the end of the file

that doesn’t work – please help

strange, I tested on my site and it works! any chance you could five me FTP access to the plugin folder? so I can run few tests, if not I would need to give you several codes to test this out

You can contact me privately via email (through my profile at the bottom there’s a contact form on the right)

Hi,
I would need to see the issue, but if you only need to disable the hover effect then in the admin WP panel set the option “caption” to “no”

Hi, there is several image hover share plugins like “WWM Social Share On Image Hover”. The share icons doesn’t show up on the gallery but on single images on the site. I thought it has something to do with the gallery hover effect but it doesn’t. Any idea or do you know a plugin that works for sure? cheers David

Hi,
I’m not familiar with that plugin (and currently haven’t test a plugin like this) but maybe it has something to do with the images being added via JS? not quite sure, I would recommend you to contact the author of this other plugin, maybe he knows why his effect is not being recognized

Best, David
