Hello,
I purchased the platform and it looks really nice. Problem is i put my images (Scanned documents, JPG Format) and generated thumbnails through Photoshop for them.
I copied them into a folder, i generated a folder called “thumbnails” inside of it, where i put the thumbnails. But the problem is it doesn’t show the thumbnails nor the pictures.
Disclosure:
- i told the plugin not to use the config file. - full image size : 2634×3405 - thumnail size: 502×643
Can you have a look? http://overnight-scanning.eu/gallery-dfo/ - The category with the problem is “winemaking”.
Any log that you can access, or maybe tell what i’m doing wrong?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Hi,
thank you 
About your issue, try removing the ”#” from the name of your images and lets see if that solves it
Best, David
Hi David! Thanks for the help, it worked 
Love the plugin, its been up and working for months, but it just stopped working for some reason yesterday. I’ve checked and it’s not a server or firewall error. I did update a few plugins (woocomerce, google analytics and contact 7 form) not sure if one of those is causing the issue?
Could you please help
Hi,
thank you
can you show me a living example online? So I can see what might be wrong
Best, David
Hello …
My name is Henny Steen and I am interested in the WP Autogrid software that you offer. However, based on the demo I could not find out how pictures are loaded in a certain filter. I was wondering if there was an option to instead of automatically loading the pictures, use a ‘load more’ button?
I am looking forward to hearing from you!
Kind regards,
Henny Steen
Hi Henny,
When you places subfolders in the main folder the plugin will use those subfolders as the filters, so if you don’t have any subfolders you won’t have any filter (inside the subfolders you’ll place the images from that filter)
About the loading, yes you can turn off the lazy load feature and you will get a load more button instead

Hola. no me deja instalar la galeria directamente desde wordpress, quisiera saber si me puedes colaborar con instrucciones para hacerlo
Hola, tienes que descomprimir el archivo que descargas de CodeCanyon, adentro encontrarás un archivo llamado auto_grid.zip, ese es el que debes subir a Wordpress
Saludos, David
Hi,
Hope all is well with you.
I would like to ask your support for the plugin I just purchased. I did follow the documentation correctly but suddenly in my second edit to the dashboard the page is no longer showing – its empty. Even the sample folder I used for location.
shortcode: [auto_grid id=”comp_portfolio”]

Thank you,

Hi Jerus,
I’m guessing you found the problem, correct? since I see your page working correctly
Best, David
Hi David,
Thank you for the reply. It is actually works perfectly from the example. But for some reason – the directory I created is not working. Please see below screenshots for reference.

Hi Jerus, I sent you an email
Hello I have bought your plug in. But I would like to automatically hide pictures with an certain character is this possible
Hi,
currently the plugin doesn’t have this feature, only by erasing the picture from the gallery folder
Best, David
Hi there, I just bought your plugin and I have a problem. The script does not calculate the correct container’s width of my layout in the first load of photos. So, instead of show 3 photos by line, show 2 photos and a big white space at right.
Then, when you go down and the script load more photos, the container’s width is regenerated correctly.
I have checked out my HTML and CSS, and everything seems correct. The CSS of the Div where all the code of your plugin is inserted has just : width: 100%; and max-width: 100%. That’s all!
Any idea about who to correct this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
try adding this peace of CSS:
body{
overflow-y: scroll;
}
if still doesn’t work, can you show me a living example online so I can take a look and see what’s going on?
Best, David
Hi David, is it possible that the orientation of the photos will automatically adjust? See photo attached. The photos are taken with an iPhone.
Thank you!
Here is the attachment: https://photos.app.goo.gl/AVkyFUYjUH3LcD2G9
Hi Lars,
currently the plugin doesn’t have any setting to touch the original image file, it is displaying the images like a normal “img” html tag, you could try adding this CSS and see if it solves it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/27882870/1978456
otherwise it may be some EXIF data found in the image that tells the image to be rotated when displayed, but that EXIF data is ignored by HTML
in order to test this out you can take one of the rotated images and place it in another page with a normal “img” HTML tag
I hope this makes sense
Hi David. I found the following free program to delete the EXIF data. Now it works.
awesome thank you for sharing
Hi, question, does the plugin support variables (such as current user, current post) so it can be used in templates? Kind regards
Hi,
this plugin doesn’t support those kind of variables (the ones from WP), this plugins reads a folder full of images and make the gallery, and you can add custom variables to each image in a .txt file
Best, David
Ok, what if I want to use a root directory that is not inside the plugin main directory? I would like to use another root, is it possible? I see that I can change the directrory but only inside the plugin main directory.
Hi,
yes you can, you can use a relative path to move outside, for example like this:
../../../galleryI hope it makes sense
Yes absolutely ahaha I absolutely didn´t think to trick it like this. Thank you
hehe small tweak
Hi!
I’ve bought the Auto Grid Responsive Gallery plugin and I must say it is very user-friendly! There is one thing I couldn’t figure out though – which is probably due to my own lack of knowledge and experience in (simple) coding – and that is how to add an extra line of text below the images. I have read the documentation and it seems pretty easy, but somehow it doesn’t work for me. I added the text-variable to the right config-file, but the gallery just shows the’{{text]}’-tag instead of the actual text.
I would like to share my code with you, but since just pasting the code doesn’t work I am not sure how to.
Hope you can help me out. Thanks in advance!

HI Maikel,
Please contact me via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact
send me your template and if you have a living example online that would be great
Best, David
Hi David!
I wrote 4 weeks ago, on 5/22/18, hoping for some feedback. Are you actively working on this plugin? I’m waist-deep into implementation, but if we need to get a refund and find another premise due to you being unavailable to help riddle out some coding fixes, we will sadly go that route… =(
We have the latest version of Auto Grid Responsive Gallery – Wordpress, 3.1 (which appears to have been updated in early April, though you haven’t appeared to have answered peoples’ questions since ~5/21/18, so it’s like I missed some window to get your feedback…).
We’re wanting the behavior of the Pinterest-style gallery with, instead of the lightbox behavior, the ability to link off-site, launching a new tab. I’ve done my very best to model our custom info in the admin vis a vis what you’ve provided, but to no avail….
Here’s our test page: http://arck-project.org/press/ – we’re building in Divi. I put in our content at the top, with the Pinterest-style gallery below, for reference.
Additionally, can you explain how to change the letters that appear on hover (capital Ds and Hs and Rs and such) into the text that we want shown? I’ve tried in the corresponding config.txt file to use both text= and name= but neither seems to work. If I knew how/why those letters were showing up, perhaps I could riddle this out myself! Alas, I’m at a loss here and am needing some feedback….
Lastly, I saw some notes on this Support page: https://codecanyon.net/item/auto-grid-responsive-gallery-wordpress/3959433/support/ that implies that there’s an index.php file within the plugin: ”’is it possible when you link pictures to a new site to open them in a new window?’ ‘for that you first need to use the not minified version of the JS file so you need to open the index.php file of the plugin and find this: /js/autoGrid.min.js then replace it for this: /js/autoGrid.js’.”
Honestly, I went through all of the files – both the plugin and the extra stuff that comes with the download; I could not find that page to save my life! I’m wondering if that’s part of why I’m having trouble…?
Seriously, please advise, as I am close to transitioning from just frustrated to actually getting a refund and finding another resource. I don’t care if it’s via the Comments section or privately (though privately would ultimately be best, as I could give you FTP & WP access so that you can see exactly what I’ve done, help me to figure out what’s not working).
Thank you. Best,
- Kat Lilore Webmaster for The Arc/k Project katlilore@gmail.comP.S. I’m submitting this message via this Support page, as well as via the ‘email the author’ box on the https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#message page; FYI. Please communicate back!!!
Hi Kat,
I think there’s a misunderstanding somewhere jeje 
, I fully support all my plugins, I usually answer in less than 24 hours (48hours during weekends), unless I’m on vacations.
My last answer to the WP Auto Grid comment section was 6 days ago (I always answer all concerns even if they are not possible), the latest answers are at the bottom.
Also I answered you 20 days ago, I wanted some extra feedback from your issue, you can see my reply here: https://codecanyon.net/item/auto-grid-responsive-gallery/3864088/comments?page=18&filter=all#comment_19627645 you commented in the wrong plugin by the way (in the stand alone version instead of the WP version)
Here goes my response to your concerns:
1) about linking to another page, it depends on how you currently have your template (in the admin page), but it would be something like this:
<a href="http:www.google.com" target="blank">
<div class="media-box-image mb-open-popup" {{link}} data-src="{{popup_src}}" data-title="{{name}} <div hide_if_empty='{{text}}'>{{text}}</div>" data-type="{{popup_type}}">
<div data-thumbnail="{{thumb_src}}" {{ratio}} data-title="{{name}}" data-alt="{{name}}"></div>
<div class="thumbnail-overlay">
<div class="thumbnail-overlay-animated" data-from="top">
<div class="media-box-title">{{name}}</div>
</div>
<div class="thumbnail-overlay-animated" data-from="bottom">
<div class="media-box-date">{{filter}}</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</a>
notice how I wrap the media-box-image div into an anchor tag that links to google
2) about the capital Ds and Hs and Rs and such, that comes from the template again (in the admin page) that’s what’s inside the thumbnail-overlay div, I would need to see your current template in order to know exactly where those letters are coming from (you can give me WP access or send me the template you currently got)
3) lastly, about linking to another page in a new tab, that answer you found doesn’t longer apply, that was for the old version, but currently we are in a new totally version, and this is answered in step 1)
notice the
target="blank" in the anchor tag, that will open the link in a new tab
sorry for the long answer but I hope this makes sense
we can continue our support privately via email, I’ll send you an email so you can answer me there
Best, David
Hey David! I responded in detail via email last evening; thanks again! I look forward to your feedback… =)
- KatHi Kat,
I’m back, I sent you an email
Hello David,
I’ve purchased your plugin und my first impression is, that it works fine! I want to use it with the sharing plugin FooBox: https://fooplugins.com/plugins/foobox/Is it possible to integrate it to my gallery? I think I’ve to change the js lightbox of your plugin to make it work. Thanks for your help.
Hi there,
I’m not familiar with FooBox, so I’m not sure if I can be of much help, but if you know JS you can give it a try, check out how I initialized FancyBox and MagnificPopup in the mediaBoxes.js file
Best, David
Ok, I’m not familiar with JS . Are there other social sharing plugins you can recommend?
ohhh :/ I haven’t look for a sharing plugin for fancybox, but it probably would require some JS implementation
Hello David,
is it possible, that the searchfield find all(!) photos (by name) in the complete dictionary, not only the loaded photos?
Hi,
yes its possible, open the plugin/jquery.autoGrid.js file and find this:
searchTarget : '.media-box-container',and replace it for this:
searchTarget : '.thumbnail-overlay, .media-box-content',then clear your browser cache and you should be good to go
Best, David
Hi David,
perfect! That’s it. Thank you very much!!! : )
awesome
Hello,
your Plugin is very cool! Thank you for this.
I have a problem with the format/alignment from the photos.

This is the photo: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mfzsxx343ysperp/autogrid_001.png?dl=0
What is the problem? Thank you!
Hi there,
thank you
The plugin doesn’t touch the orientation of the images, it just show them in the normal “img” HTML attribute, so I think is probably some Metadata or Exifdata on the image file, try adding this peace of CSS to your site:
img {
image-orientation: from-image;
}
found this solution here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24658365/img-tag-displays-wrong-orientation
if not, we might need to remove the exifdata from your image file

I am getting this error when i try and view my gallery at http://spiresart2.com/gallery

Hi there,
Please lets keep the support in one single comment (for better support)
is this issue also present with the default galleries? (the ones that comes with the plugin)
i need to point the gallery to the uploads folder within wordpress
I want my gallery to point to /wp-content/uploads/2018/05
how do i do this
thank you so much
Hi,
you can use relative path to navigate outside the plugins folder, for example:
../../../wp-content/uploads/2018/05Best, David
where do i specify this path your not explaining this very well?
do i need to include this is the shortcode, the plugin settings page or? you dont tell me..
..
You can specify it in the settings page, in the directory option there (the first tab)
i get this error
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 314357488 bytes) in /home/spires5/spiresart2.com/wp-content/plugins/wp_auto_grid/plugin/auto_grid.php on line 164
Any chance you could give me ftp access to the plugin directory, so I can run few tests, you can send the ftp details privately via email (through my profile at the bottom there’s a contact form)
I sent you ftp details and wp login through contact form on your profile..
sent you an email
Im a noob at this, please tell me you have a video?
Hi,
you mean a video tutorial? if so, then no, only the docs found here: http://www.castlecodeweb.com/wp-autogrid/documentation/
Best, David
david do you have a video of making the gallery into Mansory, i cant seem to find that option. I added the folder and pictures I wanted, now I just want them to be display the way I want
Hi,
did you import the examples? in the download file there’s the Masonry example so you can start from there (instead of doing it from scratch)
if you want to know how here’s it: http://www.castlecodeweb.com/wp-autogrid/documentation/#importexport
Best, David
LOVE IT! Two questions:
1. In the popup screen the next and previous buttons will show the same image twice. How do I fix this?
2. I don’t want the file name to appear below the images in the popup screen
Template Code:
{{filter}}Here is my CSS Code:
/* make your own style of the filter /
@auto_grid .auto-grid-filters-container{ margin-bottom: 40px; } @auto_grid .auto-grid-filters-container{ padding: 0px; text-align: center; } @auto_grid .media-boxes-filter li{ list-style: none; display: inline-block; margin: 9px 0px; } @auto_grid .media-boxes-filter li a{ color: #999; text-decoration: none; background: transparent !important; padding: 15px; border: 0; font-size: 16px; } @auto_grid .media-boxes-filter li a:hover{ color: #008ae3; text-decoration: underline; } @auto_grid .media-boxes-filter li a.selected{ color: #008ae3 !important; background: transparent !important; box-shadow: none !important; }
/ Change background of the thumbnail-overlay /
@auto_grid .thumbnail-overlay{ background: rgba(0,0,0,.3); } @auto_grid .thumbnail-overlay i.fa{ color: #0182be; }
/ Remove box shadow and border-radius from the media boxes */
@auto_grid .media-box-container{ -webkit-border-radius: 0px; -moz-border-radius: 0px; border-radius: 0px;
Hi,
thank you
1) in your template find this:
<div class="media-box-image mb-open-popup" {{link}} data-src="{{popup_src}}" data-title="{{name}}" data-type="{{popup_type}}">
and replace it for this:
<div class="media-box-image" {{link}}>
2) in your template find this:
data-src="{{popup_src}}" data-title="{{name}}"
and replace it for this:
data-src="{{popup_src}}"
I hope it makes sense
Perfect! Thank you so much. One more thing. I’m getting a ”+” sign in the rollover of the thumbnails can this be changed to a magnifying glass icon?
Yes you can, you can use any of these icons: https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/icons/ just change the class to the one of your choice
Best, David
Hello!
Congratulations for your plugin! it’s very cool and i like this

All css alignement are exploded!!
If you send me your email, i can share a caption if you want. Have you a solution to fix my problem?
Thanks you in advance.
Hi,
