Hi! I’ve just bought your nice plugin. I’ve got this error. Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ’../plugin/auto_grid.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php74/pear’) in…. Any tips? Thanks Nicola
Hello Nicola,
Can you double check that the path to the auto_grid.php file is the correct one?
Any chance you could show me a living example online? you can contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castleplugins#contact

Hi, how are you? when i put a videofile, the app doesnt generate a videothumbail, i tried to find the script to show the first frame but i cant. Thanks!
Hello,
at the moment the plugin is not working with video-files automatically, you would need to place a thumbnail/image and then set the link for the video (either a mp4 file url or a youtube file)
I hope this makes sense

Hi there! Thank you so much for this great product. I´m really enjoying it in my web.
I have a question (I´ve searched for the answer in the comments with no success): I would like to have a grid of images, no text shown (no file name, no categories name) so that when pressing the images it opens a new page.
I´m trying to achieve this with the portfolio option, but I cannot hide the texts nor linking in the image.
Thank you in advace.
Jota.
Hello Jota,
you would need to follow the next steps:
1) in the itemTemplate JS settings, remove everything inside the “thumbnail-overlay” div, by doing this you’ll remove all the text that appears on top of the image
2) if you want to link to an external page, then you need to specify the link variable in the config.txt file, you can read about it here: https://www.castlecodeweb.com/autogrid/documentation/#conffile
it would be something like this:
image. => Category 1/Autumn.jpg link => https://codecanyon.net/item/auto-grid-responsive-gallery/3864088
I hope this makes sense
also by any chance, did you buy the plugin from a different account? or maybe a different version of the plugin? since CodeCanyon says that you haven’t buy this plugin in particular
Best Regards
Hi there! I´ll try it and let you know! Thank you. I have purchased the plug in with this user (as I have done with others in the past), so I don´t know why CodeCanyon says that. :-/ Cheers! Jota.
Hi there. I´ve tried what you said but it is not working. I´m trying to change it here (jotabarros.com) so that when a user presses the green round buttons new pages open.
Hi Jota,
Ohh you have the WP version. This is the stand alone version, that’s why you don’t appear as a “buyer” of this plugin, but don’t worry, the steps are the same.
About your site, I see the link working correctly, is it the one that says “Echa un vistazo”?
also if you prefer, we can speak in spanish
Best, David
Hola David!
Perdona, te envié el link equivocado, ahí me gusta cómo funciona, pero en https://jotabarros.com/club-fotografia-callejera/ me gustaría que al pulsar sobre los círculos verdes se abriese directamente la página correspondiente, sin mostrar “ENTRAR”.
Jota.
Hola Jota,
Ohh ya veo, en la configuración de tu galería, en la parte de “item template” encontrarás una variable llamada {{link}} esa hay que moverla y ponerla en el div que tiene la clase de “media-box-image” algo así:
<div class="media-box-image" {{link}}>
Saludos
Hola! Perfecto. Gracias, Daniel!!!
can NOT link to another page when you click in a thumbnail
(image1$$sample-page.php.png) NOT work, maybe because inside jquery.autoGrid.js , no ” var url ” ... ” var link ” like in AutoGrid WP version ( autoGrid.js )
Hello,
In the WP version, Are you using the old version?
In the stand alone version, if you are using the new version, the link is specified in the config.txt file, which would be something like this:
image => Category 1/image1.png link. => https://codecanyon.net/item/auto-grid-responsive-gallery/3864088you can read about it here: https://www.castlecodeweb.com/autogrid/documentation/#conffile
Best, David
oh, ok, i prefer comeback to and stay with older versions jquery & wp, which give the possibility of links directly from the name of the file (a brilliant idea), thanks, great script
Thank you, I may consider adding this feature to the current version of the plugin
Hello Developer, thanks a lot for your script. I need to ask you some questions:
1) I use your script only on a mobile project. I set a page on where I need to show on one column different pictures – one beloe one – from a folder.
So I set the js on this way: popup : ‘none’, // fancybox, magnificpopup, none
{
maxWidth: 450,
columnWidth: 'auto',
columns: 1,
horizontalSpaceBetweenBoxes: 1,
verticalSpaceBetweenBoxes: 1,
},Now, I disabled the popup because my wish should be that when you tap over the image you see the text (overlay) using the file name as usual.
Tell me is this possible?
2) This mobile project uses a french or Italian language using some special characters such as ò à ù ì etc. I tried to use \ or / before the special chars and even À or À without having success in showing the text.
Do you have a tips for this?
3) Tell me, how I can hide the loading button at the start and at the footer during the lazy loading without to lost the function?
4) I need some help to undesrand this: waitUntilThumbWithRatioLoads : true, // When they have dimensions specified
waitForAllThumbsNoMatterWhat : false, // Wait for all the thumbnails to load even if they got dimensions specified
It seems that when I load the page, the script wait a little bit to show the pictures, I just want to know if I need to set the above value in a different way to quickly show pictures.
I set to load 8 pictures a time
boxesToLoadStart : 8, boxesToLoad : 8, minBoxesPerFilter : 10, lazyLoad : true, lazyLoadInLoadMoreView : true,
Thanks for your help! giadina
Hi Developer, in waiting your answer, I take the occasion to ask you: do you think to add support on your script to the webp format? It will very useful. Thanks.
Hello Giadina,
1) This is interesting, I think it depends on the mobile browser, but by disabling the popup is it not working for you?
2) The plugin support special characters, even Chinese characters, but I’ve found that some hostings have not the right settings for the characters, can you try opening one of those images in the browser directly? (outside of the plugin), for example if you click on this image it works: http://www.castlecodeweb.com/autogrid/example/galleries/gallery/Category%203/%E9%80%99%E6%98%AF%20%E6%9C%89%E7%A9%BA%E6%A0%BC%E7%9A%84%E6%AA%94%E6%A1%88%E5%90%8D%20%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87.jpg
3) yes, just add this peace of CSS:
.media-boxes-load-more-button{
display: none !important;
}
4) The only way to take advantage of this setting, is to set a static ratio, with the following settings: https://imgur.com/a/DdCb0Qp
5) I haven’t test webp images, but if you want to give it a try, just open the auto_grid.php file and find this:
$images_allowedin there add the webp format (like the others)

hi , it possible to video generate thumbnail
Hello,
Unfortunately no, at the moment we don’t have any video thumbnail generator
Best, David
Hi, I bought your product, but it does not let me add it to my website as I need it. Could you please advise on this? Thank you.
Hello,
By any chance you bought a different version of the plugin? maybe the WP version? Since it says that you haven’t bought this plugin (Auto Grid, the stand alone version)
you can contact me privately via email for better support, here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castleplugins#contact

If I buy a Fancybox v4 license, will it work with your software?
Hello,
We haven’t try Fancybox V4, we are hoping to see a “one-time payment” license from the author so we can start implementing

Hello Mark,
Ohh very strange, did you try here? https://codecanyon.net/user/castleplugins#contact
I’m not able to contact you since you don’t have a contact section on your profile.

Hi there,
I am thinking about purchasing this for a customer. However before I buy your script, I do have a few questions. Because the other script I purchased, does not work as promised… So before I waste (again) money….
Question 1 The customer has absolutely no knowledge of PHP/HTML. But as far as I understand your description, it’s very easy to use. Either;
- upload the images in a directory with FTP - create a new directory for a new gallery category
Is this true? I think I can explain this to him.
Question 2 Can I very easily add your script to an existing webdesign template? The one I am currently using is the following one: https://themeforest.net/item/canvas-the-multipurpose-html5-template/9228123
Question 3 He will have two seperate categories e.g. projects and a general gallery. But they have to be seperate and shouldn’t be visible both at once. In other words can I call your script to use for one page only the “projects” images and on the other page the “gallery” images?
Let me know if this is possible. Thank you in advance.
Hello
1) Yes, that’s correct, once the gallery is configured you only need to upload images via FTP
2) Yes, you can copy the gallery and implement it in your existing page, you can take a look at the docs: https://www.castlecodeweb.com/autogrid/documentation/
3) Yes, that’s totally possible, just specify a different path on each page
I hope this makes sense
Best, David
Thank you! Bought it.
Okay, one question (probably overlooked it), but how can I remove/hide the following stuff completely:
- the search field - the text “No More Entries”
So it only displays the images.
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
1) You can hide the search filed by passing this JS option in the JS initialization:
search: false,
2) You can hide the “No more entries” text with the following CSS:
/* hide no more entries button */
.media-boxes-no-more-entries{
display: none;
}
Best,
David
Hello, I purchased the code, and it works quite well. However, there is one issue that seems to pop up, and I could not find the reason. I copy jpgs into the different category folders. When viewing the gallery, it seems some of the JPG names show up as a category… So, besides ‘catergory 1, category 2,..”, the category list also shows a lot of the jpg names, example ‘IMG 1565GFHYSZ.jpg” Any ideas?
Hello,
this is quite strange, can you show me a living example online? So I can take a look

Is it just images or can we add videos too?
Hello,
The plugin will not automatically scan videos, but you can attach a video to an image by using a .txt file (there you can specify that for certain image you want a specific video URL, which can be youtube/vimeo or a mp4 file)
Best, David
Is it possible to generate full screen width masonry gallery ? thx
Hi there, you latest Autogrid script doesn’t auto scale on model or desktop if you have a small scale screen. The gallery pictures overlap the search bar. Even in your usage example it does the same. Can you fix?
Hello,
yes, that does happen in the live preview, but if you download the latest files that should be fixed, or you can just add this peace of CSS to your page:
.auto-grid-filters-container {
overflow: hidden;
}
Best, David
Thanks for the replying. When did you fix? I recently downloaded it, last week.
I pushed the update today, it still going through the review process of codecanyon, it should be available in couple of hours, or you can just add the CSS I provided above
Best
Just wanted to say thank you. That worked. Appreciate your help. Love the gallery i think its amazing!
thank you

I may need to request a refund as I purchased this code but plan to use on a commercial landscape page and purchased a regular license. It was not clear that regular = personal vs extended = commercial. Can you clarify? Thank you
Helo,
Here’s a little explanation about Regular & Extended licenses: https://codecanyon.net/licenses/standard these licenses are provided by CodeCanyon
if you need a refund so you can get the extended one you can contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castleplugins#contact
I hope this helps
