Hi. I want to populate some input in an automativ way for JIG Link, JIG Target. Are the entries stored in Custom Fields and what are the names or definitions. If so, I would try to populate them during file upload via MLA. Thank you.
It’s in custom fields (post meta) with the identifier _jig_image_link and the target is at _jig_image_link_target
Is there a setting in the back end to display an animation overlay while the gallery is loading?
No, JIG doesn’t have a preloader. They usually just delay the appearance of the first content loaded.
I’ve kotlis portfolio theme. How to set up the grid to show image loaded in the portfolio categories of the theme? thanks
With “recent posts” you can choose custon post type which should be the theme’s portfolio post type. If you want to pre-filter or frontend filter, then look at the custom taxonomies and see the “portfolio category” if it’s accessible there.
Thank you so much, It worked! Please only 2 things: 1. On “Thumbnail count and dimensions”, “Limit image count *” I’ve put 0 to have unlimited number of images. Do only facebook and flickr have a maximum of 500 images? I need for my portfolio more than 500…
2. On “recent post”, “Filter/narrow what posts to show”, “Filter by taxonomy” -> “portfolio categories”, “Taxonomy filter term” I was able to filter my portfolio categories, writing the taxonomy (comma separated slugs). I have an image with two categories, ex. A and B. On “Taxonomy filter term” I’ve put B because I don’t want to show images with A category (regardless of whether it has other categories attached). On site, the filter button A is correctly not displayed, but that image is yet visible, because has also B category. How can I do to not display at all that image (obviously I cannot remove manually the category from wordpress). Thanks
1. We believe Flickr can go above 500 but Facebook is still limited to 500 per gallery. It’s not nice to the server to fetch that many thumbnails on one page either way, so try creating different albums if possible.
2. Taxonomy settings are passed to WP_Query’s tax_query behind the scenes: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#taxonomy-parameters which mean there is an IN relationship between the comma separated slugs by default. The more you specify, the more results you’ll see in the gallery, because an image could belong to just one of them. Currently there is no exclude option. If you have a tag or a category on the image, you could use the other settings to combine it with “Taxonomy filter term” using AND relationship.
In your setup if you choose B in recent posts, and some of those B posts have also category A, they will still show up. Frontend filtering should show any and all categories in them, so A and B should both show up as buttons.
So in essence it only shows posts that have B on them, but not those posts that only have B on them. They can have anything else on them.
We could add Exclude taxonomy/term setting to Recent Posts like we have on the General tab, if that’s helpful.
Hi,
I would need to set the JIG plugin so that for each photo you open the lightbox to see the enlarged image and from the lightbox there is a link to the corresponding product (woocommerce). is it possible to do it through custom field or some other way?
Thanks
It’s built-in standard feature, using Recent Posts, and WC products picked as the post type. You can set it up in a way that the featured images open on a thumbnail click, and not the post/product right away. Then there is an option to show a “link back to post” (product) from the lightbox automatically.
Oh, great! And, due this way, i can show just a category post type? For example, I have products in category A and B, but want to show in the gallery just category A products. I’ve seen that Category inclusion option doesn’t work for custom post type.
Why wouldn’t it work? There are a taxonomy and term inclusion settings for the Recent Posts feature, so “product category” can work just as well as “category”. Feel free to buy and try, if it doesn’t work the way you want it we can always just refund.
I don’t know why it doesn’t work 
i’ve already bought the plugin (whit a client’s account).
Maybe i do something wrong in setting gallery: in the “recent post” tab > post type: yes use recent post; recent_post_type: products
recents_include: id or slug for products category
And the result is: “There are no recent posts with featured images” or products by all category, it depends by slugs in recents_incude. Some gave no results, some all products.
I can provide you some screenshot, or direct access to te admin pannel
Tnks
“Recents include” takes only “post category” taxonomy (only for post posttype). You need to use “filter by taxonomy” set to the the “product category”, and add your slug(s) to “taxonomy filter term”. All these are on the Recent Posts tab.
Look I have two license. First license look “expired” so I bought new one . Loose money…
Now I update my JIG on wordpress to new version. Older version was maybe one year ago.
Problem is, earlier gallery work.
https://elkesan.fi/kuvagalleria/ https://elkesan.fi/bticino-kuvagalleria-robur-video/ and it audio.1, both galleries look similar. 2, short code not work as earlier. Simply I update JIG to new version, no any other setting mod. 3, follow short code any wrong photos on gallery.
Gallery “video” is:
[justified_image_grid image_tags=”Sfera Robur,videokuvalla” image_categories=tuotekuva]
Earlier this show eg. https://elkesan.fi/wp-content/uploads/ACE00127.jpg (etc, this “video” photos are eg. ACE00110.jpg, ...ACE00110…ACE00161.jpg and its several sizes).
When check Media/MLA, this photos are available and I can see category is right, also I can found this tags.
SO: PROBLEM IS, my about one year ago old version jig and present jig are not compatible and this short code is not compatibe. Notify: short code generator make this code, and it not work. Short code make “about right”: category work. Also TAG work “about”: “Sfera Robur”, yes, all photos shortcode found are Sfera Robur. But second, “videokuvalla” not.
Notify: my jig is now new and only I do is “update” and check it is really new. No any setting mod.
What I can do? Short code is right, photos are right, no any mod from history… short code not work. Look this is bug in JIG new version? What I can do?
Replied to your email.
Hey!
If i implement more than one gallery in a post (f. ex. three with some text inbetween) – is it nevertheless possible so show all the pictures in the same Lightbox? Because now each gallery has it’s own lightbox and it would be great if users could look through all the pictures in one lightbox. Do you know what i mean?
All the best, Daniel
Yes we aware of this limitation, but currently JIG can’t connect with other instances. If you have a lightbox in your theme or on your site already, those can likely group everything together into one big group (and disable JIG’s).
Hi. Some topics.
1) I am very much interested in JIG and MLA together . Regarding such a relationship MLA documentation mentions
- mla_alt_shortcode * mla_alt_ids_name * mla_alt_ids_template * mla_alt_ids_value
Parameter mla_alt_shortcode is more or less clear to me. Do you know the other ones?They are not mentioned explicitely in JIG documentation.
2) JIG documentation, page 17/18. Process shortcodes in all captions from all image sources. It lets you add some automatic content such as links or add to cart buttons or maybe exif info. The shortcodes are processed from every image source available.
Can you give me an example?
Thank you very much, Ernst Wilhelm
1. We only know about mla_alt_shortcode the rest are unknown. If you have auto take over of MLA shortcode in JIG settings, you don’t need to use this.
2. That’s for 3rd party shortcodes and you’d write them in the caption among other texts. For example with exifography plugin you could place [exif id=457]. To facilitate the ID getting there are automatic ways if you are interested.
Dear As you will note from the purchase history today , I first extended the support for the licence I owned (Purchase Date: 2019-08-04 ) and then I was forced to purchase a new plugin licence(Purchase Date: 2020-11-03 ) although it concerns an installation I am now performing in a different subdomain of the same domain . That is in practical terms I paid today for six months support twice! Is it anyway that the amount I paid for the first purchase of support extension today to be refunded ((I do understand the reasons why I had to purchase a second licence but by doing this purchase I paid again for the six months support) ? I send the question to you as I have no way to contact envato Kind regards
Why would you be forced to buy anything? Just ask for a refund if you believe you bought more than necessary, we’ll grant it. We can reset any license-domain binds if you want to update on another domain because you transferred or went live after development. Expired support period currently doesn’t block you from free updates.
If your subdomain is basically the same as your main domain (same site, different language, or same product), we can add it to autoupdate exceptions.
Hi thanks for the answer. I do ask you a refund for the purchase I done (extension of support) from the licence I got back to 2019, given that as you say you warranty free updates. I will be happy to maintain the new licence I bought few days back , inclusive of the extended support period incorporated in the purchase. Thanks very much for your understanding Kind regards
Okay no problem. Request it through official channels of CodeCanyon, you need to initiate it not us. https://codecanyon.net/refund_requests/new
Hi, Photoswipe 4 lightbox has three social sharing options. Facebook, Twittter and Pinterest. How to add whatsapp option too in this list?
It’s not a built-in feature, you’d need to edit the photoswipe4.js file in the developer package to include that and then re-build JIG.
Hi, Thank you for the quick response. It’s really appreciable. Changing core file is not at all advisable. Kindly see if this can be add to feature list in the coming update. Thank you.
Hello, we are using your plugin for the Facebook gallery integration component. The plugin was working well for us up until yesterday (I believe). So I went in to the WP admin/JIG settings to update the FB token—as you have to do periodically. Instead of the normal message when I clicked the “Add current Facebook user” button, I got this message on the FB tab: Invalid Scopes: pages_manage_metadata, pages_read_engagement. This message is only shown to developers. Users of your app will ignore these permissions if present. Please read the documentation for valid permissions at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions Internally, the error log shows this message: “Message log: [8:10:18 AM] Access token acquisition wasn’t successful. Please authorize yourself on Facebook then click ‘Manually load Facebook data’. If you already closed the Facebook dialog, click ‘Add current Facebook user’ again.” I don’t understand what permissions might have changed. I went into facebook and the app I created for this. Everything looks good there, but of course, I don’t know what I am looking for. Please assist as soon as possible, as these galleries displaying on the site are essential to our business. Thank you.
Hi, that message would pop up if you created an app for “business purposes” and not “for everything else”. Nowadays when you create a new one that’s the first thing FB asks. Perhaps your app defaulted or got switched to business. Create a brand new one. This recent change in steps is not yet included in the instructions on the Facebook tab of JIG.
Hello, thank you for the response. I changed the app, although I didn’t see that it was displaying as a business or if anything changed. I got myself to show up, linking to the page with the galleries (as it was before). I then went to my Grids to reconnect to the gallery and I am getting an error in the plugin. “Justified Image Grid: The Facebook content cannot be displayed, the error from Facebook: Error: OAuthException Code: 200, (#200) Missing Permissions.” I even created a new grid in case the old grid contained legacy information, but it displayed the same error.
The main Plugin page Message log: [6:35:23 PM] Invalid appsecret_proof provided in the API argument I double-checked, the App ID and App Secret are both correct. Thanks again.
The rest of the story: When I verified my user, this was the messages: “[5:26:56 PM] Invalid appsecret_proof provided in the API argument [5:26:50 PM] The authentication of current user: (My name) is valid. You can choose from 9 albums. We’ll now try to auto-add or refresh the 1 page that you are an admin of. It will expire in 59 days 23 hours which is on 1/3/2021 (5:26:38 PM).” So my personal user works, but the albums that we need to use for my associated page (which has several galleries and a lot of photos) is popping up an error.
Thank you so much for your support! It was a change on Facebook’s end, and thanks to your help, now everything is up and working perfectly.
Thank you for the wonderful review!
I just purchased justified gallery but it is too complicated, may I have a refund? Ronna Johnston
Sure!
Did your plugin support also the format “webp”?
Not yet, but it’s planned
JIG does support WebP now!
Mega cool
That sounds promising. Do you support somehow the way of mla_markup? An extend example can be found here https://ernst-wilhelm-grueter.de/single-image/?sk=42025 , other examples here https://ernst-wilhelm-grueter.de/kunst-und-kultur/roma-musik-festival-im-zirkus-cabwuzi/,
Another question. Each image/attachment has an own Wordpress ID. Would it possible to acess this ID with a kind of internal shortcode [attachment-id] in order to build a link like mentioned above https://ernst-wilhelm-grueter.de/single-image/?sk=42025 as a download link. I want to control a download, ie. registered users, logged in, email. In that case I could use the functionality which I have already in place 
, Thank you.
Sorry, instead of 42025 take the id 41783. Looking forward to your answer
Only via custom PHP code. Following this idea you can set a dynamic caption that crafts a link and can use the attachment ID: https://justifiedgrid.com/support/faq/can-use-text-captions/
Instead of “Hello world!”; you’d use
"https://ernst-wilhelm-grueter.de/single-image/?sk=".$object_id;
JIG already has a built in download feature but it’s not limited to registered users.
I’ve prepared it so far. Child theme is in place, functions.php contains function jig_change_meta_on_the_fly. I changed the the plugin settings to use custom field instead of caption. But I can’t see any intended results. How can I resolve the issue?
If you haven’t changed the field name in the code, do you have your_field_name added to the Captions tab? Are you using the “new grid” interface, or the JIG settings, or the shortcode editor?
I entered the “arbitrary” field name in the code and in the fields of caption and lightbox tab. I was using the overall plugin settings.I guess you call it JIG settings. I have already MLA shortcodes in place which are converted then by JIG ‘standard’ settings.
My arbitray field name is ‘ewg_test’ .
Hi. Looking forward to get some further instructions. Thank you.
So you then need to write ewg_test into the JIG settings caption or lightbox tab, after you chose the field to be the custom field. In the code snippet you write the ewg_test instead of your_field_name.
If the JIG settings control all your galleries, make sure there is no local preset selection (if you are auto taking over MLA then it’s fine). If you were to create a JIG and choose a preset in it, your caption settings from the plugin settings would not go through.
Thank you. I went through my changes again and realised a mistake that I done when creating the child theme. May I come back to you in case I have some questions when adjusting the coding for this ‘arbitrary custom field’ ? In any case thanks a lot
Sure, let us know anytime you need help.
I have a question to your code advice [ https://justifiedgrid.com/support/faq/can-use-text-captions/ ] I ‘ve some adjustments with html code and the $object_id . What to do if I want to make use of the image_title like image_title
$attachment = get_post($object_id);
Then image title is:
$attachment->post_title
Thank you. I have 2 more questions. I have inserted a link into the custom field and am using a dark theme.How can I adjust the font color? 2nd question I don’t understand the 2 custom field, commaseparated. Which field is used for what, how do I control the appearance of these custom fields?
1.
Use custom CSS similar to this:
.pswp__caption a { color: red; }
2. Normally you just enter one custom field, because you only want to show one. However if you chose “custom field” for both “link title” and “image alt” then you need to add two custom field names, comma separated, into that setting. Their appearance in the lightbox can only be controlled by Custom CSS. If you are showing them for thumbnail captions then they are controlled the same way as any other caption in the JIG Captions tab.
Many thanks for 2) Regarding answer question 1. At which point in the lightbox settings I can enter this definition?
On the JIG Settings, General tab, Custom CSS.
Thank you
Hi. Regarding jig_change_meta_on_the_fly, My images are always attached to posts. How can I access parent title, parent title slug (or permanent link), parent cateogory and parent category slug ? I want to sue this as parts (incl link) of a caption.
Try this https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_get_post_parent_id/ here the “post” is the image, post parent is the parent itself. Image ID is the $object_id in the JIG filter.
Once you have parent post id then feed it to: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post/ then you’ll have access to the info you need.
Hi there. Does JIG work together with MLA (= Media Library Assistant, Author David Lindgren)? The Author says yes and recommends JIG very much. It’s just, to get something like a “confirmation” from you? Thank you very much, Ernst-Wilhelm
Yes of course, we have a long running relationship with that plugin. It not just works, but JIG has references to MLA in its UI and code, and can auto takeover their shortcode if you prefer.
I’ll give it a try
supports webp?, thank you
Nope, not yet.
JIG supports WebP now! Changelog: https://justifiedgrid.com/support/changelog-update-history/#v4_3
Hi, is it possible to JIG with the language translator WEGLOT? I am not able to find a solution.
Thanks, Adrienne Norman
Sorry we don’t know that plugin. But here is a guide for WPML https://justifiedgrid.com/support/faq/how-to-translate-galleries-with-wpml-and-justified-image-grid/
Hi for some reason I am now getting Error: OAuthException Code: 200, (#200), but cant seem to find anything about it. Any ideas on a solution?
Where are you getting that, is this in relation to the Facebook source? When have you created an app, and is its purpose for business or “for everything else”?
Hi, I’m trying to set up facebook as external source, but when I try to autentificate my account I have this error:
Invalid Scopes: pages_manage_metadata, pages_read_engagement. This message is only shown to developers. Users of your app will ignore these permissions if present. Please read the documentation for valid permissions at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions
Thanks, Alex
Create the app again and on the first screen for purpose choose “for everything else” and not business.
Thanks so much!
It’s possibile to use an album from facebook group?
Currently no, it has never been possible due to the API not covering groups for this kind of use. FB API became increasingly less forgiving, so it’s unlikely to be supported but we can double check if you wish.
Hi,
I have a strange issue with JIG on www.cwhdev.co.uk. Some galleries are working fine, but others I am seeing errors. I’ve used the inspector and I’m seeing 400 errors.
If I disable JIG and use the default gallery then everything works OK
I’ve deleted one of the galleries that is not working and re-created it and I still see the error, but what is strange is that some galleries are fine!
See :
Working : https://cwhdev.co.uk/your-view/autumn-colours/ Working : https://cwhdev.co.uk/your-view/your-view-from-eden/
Not Working: https://cwhdev.co.uk/your-view/rainbows-and-views/ Not working: https://cwhdev.co.uk/your-view/september-views/
Any idea why things are working some times and not others?
Thanks
Stuart
Hi, have you solved it? They are all appear to be working fine with Network tab of Dev tools open, all images show up and no error 400s. Were only some images missing or all, in the nonworking gallery?
Hi, what was strange was that some galleries were working totally fine and others where not working and when inspecting in the Network tab I was seeing 400 errors on the galleries that were not working. There is no obvious reason why some worked and some not as all settings are the same.
I worked through the various settings in JIG and found that if I changed “Thumbnail file name” to the “Extensionless version” all galleries started working.
Strange that some worked and some didn’t with the default settings! Any thoughts on this?
Thanks
Stuart
Yes that setting was the one that can influence this greatly. Is the extension the same for all your images?
Yes, they are all .jpg. Seems to be working OK for all galleries with the new setting
Good!
Hello. I purchased this plugin today. I have a form on my site. When it is submitted, a post is automatically generated. Within the form you can add images. I would like the images to create a gallery in the post. I thought the images were attaching to the post when submitted, but they are just being added to the wp media gallery. Is there any way to automatically add the images uploaded on the form to a gallery on the post that is generated?
Does the form create any other relationhip for the images with the post? How do you know about a certain image where it was uploaded to? Does the form use a different user perhaps? Or are these images tagged/categorized? Using some information like that it would be possible to construct a gallery with just those images.
I’m a newbie. I’m not sure. I’m using Caldera Forms.
www.wherethedotsconnect.com/connect
Where do I go to request a refund?
Okay no problem. Request it through official channels of CodeCanyon, you need to initiate it not us. https://codecanyon.net/refund_requests/new
Your integration will need custom work on the Forms side.
