For some reason even though I set no Lightbox on mobile it still pops up on mobile. Any idea why? I have it installed on multiple sites and all set to no Lightbox on mobile but they all pop up.
site is www.paulpetch.com
Do you use a caching solution/plugin? What kind of device are you testing with?
Litespeed cache. Turning it off does not fix the issue. It’s a pain in the ass! Turning off Lightbox for mobile is OK but as mentioned the ability to click an image on desktop for Lightbox is random.
What we could do is to enable lightbox everywhere, but use CSS to disable clickability on the thumbnails if the screen width is under a certain value. That survives any kind of server caching and does not use server side mobile detection. Would that work for you?
Custom CSS:
@media screen and (max-width: 768px) { a.jig-link{pointer-events: none;} }
Brilliant. That seems to have fixed it!
Unfortunately, this product does not seem to be supported. My questions have gone unanswered for one week.
Please send your question again (here if not sensitive) as I see no trace of your message in my inbox.
If you have used the old support email address, that’s no longer in operation. Use the one with justifiedgrid.com or gmail.com domain.
I’ll try again when I have time. I honestly don’t remember what email I used. It was one of the linked forms in Envato. Thanks for responding.
I’m trying to update from 1.7.1. This is the error I get when trying to delete the plugin: Deletion failed: TypeError throwncall_user_func_array(): Argument #1 ($callback) must be a valid callback, non-static method JustifiedImageGrid::on_uninstall() cannot be called statically
Delete the folder of the plugin via FTP (or your hosting’s file manager, or via this free plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-manager/ ), then install fresh from the downloaded installable from CodeCanyon. 1.7.1 is probably too old (10 years) for modern servers to do anything with.
Understand. Will my settings be retained?
Yes, but since it’s a long gap, some may have been discontinued (rare). I don’t usually rename settings variables so backward compatibility should be good for those that exist though. Also the use of the plugin has changed significantly since then, so while grids will likely continue to work, you’ll need to relearn how to edit or create them or access the shortcode editor like in old times (that still exists but new users don’t copypaste shortcode anymore).
Very happy to say everything worked on the first try! Thanks for everything. Sorry about being in a bad mood before.
No problem!
Hey Firsch – Having a bit of a problem. I made a grid of images and I have it set up where if the images are clicked the user is taken to the attachment page, in this case a post where the image resides. It works fine – if I’m logged in to the backend. If I’m not logged in, I’m taken back to the main page. As far as I can tell, I have everything set right – the grid is set to access the attachment page, I have the grid set a preset that has this set as well. Any ideas?
Could it be due to caching? Can you please send me a link to where this happens? Are those pages published? If the public has no permission to view them, they won’t work.
hmmmm…. maybe that was it because it seems to be working now. Of course. I guess you fixed it, thanks.
I’m very interested in using this plugin, but I am unsure if it can conflict with my theme. Out of curiosity, here is my website: https://vlanderon.com Does this plugin align with my theme?
I don’t see why it couldn’t align with your theme 
If there is any technical problem let me know. Designise it’s mostly unopinionated by default, but can be tailored to look more seamless via the settings.
Hi, can i create several different galleries in several pages Thanks
Yes of course
Puzzled why the plugin on my home page no longer finds images. It’s working on photos.albj.net but not on the root albj.net – I even tried just slimming down to zero options and just pulling [justified_image_grid flickr_search_user=55455788@N00] which results in a message “There are no photos with those IDs or the post 17 does not have any attached images! Source selection is missing from this grid.”
Okay, I revised the code to [justified_image_grid flickr_user=55455788@N00 flickr_collection=complete-overview] and it works, but the original code still says no photos match my search criteria even though it used to produce results. The code I’m trying to use is:
[justified_image_grid row_height=100 caption=slide mobile_caption=same caption_match_width=no caption_title_size=10px caption_desc_size=10px caption_align=center gradient_caption_bg=no orderby=rand filter_orderby=random max_rows=3 disable_cropping=no flickr_search_tags_m=all flickr_search_user=55455788@N00 flickr_description=no]
It’s starting to look like the search function has broken, which explains why photos.albj.net works (I don’t use a search query for my tag there).
Well, rescind the above comments. I can only assume Flickr was having a momentary massage and not processing API search queries. It’s working now.
I see now that in the JIG admin, it’s not clear that you need to give it more inputs to work with than just your ID. It looks like it had missing, for example, a search query to trigger “Flickr mode” for the gallery.
https://i.justifiedgrid.com/s0pla1.pngIn this test, unless I specified a text, I also got that message, but it’s normal.
The longer shortcode you posted also has this issue. It has 3 relevant flickr_* attributes but no query:
flickr_search_tags_m=all Sets the tags match mode to any/all but there is still no tag query specified so it doesn’t search by anything.
flickr_search_user=55455788@N00 This narrows the search to your profile.
flickr_description=no This is just a cosmetic, turning off text for a collection or set, probably doesn’t do anything for search either way.
Sorry for the inexcusable “delay”.
Says I need to Update but, also says it isn’t compatible with latest version of WordPress – What am I supposed to do?
Update anyway, it shouldn’t be a problem, it’s being developed on the latest beta. Updating the latest compatibility version number is just a technicality. If anything ever comes up I can send older versions after purchase verification.
Hello, this is a presale question.
I am looking for a grid that can be used in this website (it is a jcomposer built website): https://eyeslicepictures.com.
In the static state, each grid item must shown a picture. When hover, a coloured veil must appear, as well as a title and description and two icons. One of the icon is for a custom link, another one for a youtube video or for a lightbox image.
Does your plugin have this features?
Thanks in advance.
Alf.
In this plugin, the thumbnails themeselves are already links (to the lightbox or custom link), so to avoid a link in a link scenario, the single icon that can be displayed on the thumbnail is already part of the larger link. So it won’t carry a different link. But from the lightbox it’s possible to link to further pages or videos.
Color veil and title and description: yes.
Do you guys have this kind of photography editing application source code: https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1iaQI
Please if you have let me know
Nope
Just received an e-mail from Flickr about updates to the API requiring a User-Agent header on all API calls. Is JIG set up for this or perhaps releasing an update soon to be in compliance?
Well, I guess this is moot. Flickr did a mea culpa and rescinded the API changes.
Flickr integration is an important part of JIG so if they bring changes that can be adapted to on my part you can rest assured I’ll keep up with it. Yup they seemed to roll back, but it wouldn’t have been a problem if they went along with it, it’s not like they pulled what Instagram did.
JIG & Flickr. I can get the photos to show up in either “latest first” or random (orderby=rand). The instructions don’t seem to up-to-date. How can I change the order to “oldest first”?
Hi, only random order option is implemented to re-sort what is received from Flickr. Other than that, the order is set at the source (on Flickr). The previous comment mentions the API way has a problem and it’s known to skip instuctions. So the best bet for now, is to change the order of your content on Flickr itself with the UI.
Any chance you can troubleshoot the Flickr sorting problems?
The Flickr API shows what sort options are possible but they are not working JIG. I am most concerned with date-taken-asc and desc.
sort (Optional) The order in which to sort returned photos. Defaults to date-posted-desc (unless you are doing a radial geo query, in which case the default sorting is by ascending distance from the point specified). The possible values are: date-posted-asc, date-posted-desc, date-taken-asc, date-taken-desc, interestingness-desc, interestingness-asc, and relevance
I’ve just tested this and it works for me. Is it working for you too?
Hi! Recently I´m seeing a bug in my Facebook´s grids: the name of the last file appears at the end of the grid. Is there any bug or missconfiguration about this? Thanks in advance.
Can you please send me a link to where this happens? That’s unusual.
Yes, here you go: https://www.cinecritico.net/pelicula/del-reves-inside-out/
It’s likely the a3-lazy-load plugin’s doing, it’s pulling out images/text from the HTML version of JIG that is there only for Google and people without javascript. Try disabling that plugin or put this into Custom CSS as workaround:
.jig-HTMLdescription{display:none;}
One more problem, maybe firsh or someone else has an idea. I sort my Gallerys inside Album by hand (newest first, oldest last). Inside the gallerys i would like to sort pictures by default to filename (as my filenames are numbered). I can do this by clicking inside every gallery on sort, change that. If i left it to default its sorted by something else. Nextgen Gally support told be to change setting inside nextgen to default sort order “Filename”, but if i do so, also the jig gallery page where all the gallerys are shown is sorted wrong to.
IIRC JIG respects that order if you keep’s JIG’s Order by on the default. You can override that with the General tab’s Order by and chooing something else. It’s also possible to use developer hooks to re-order the image set displayed in JIG, either on the client side with JS or at server side with PHP.
On a side note, a customer used special characters like !! to “pin” certain images at the top when sorted by A-Z, then I wrote custom script to remove such characters from the beginning of the titles.
Hi Firsh
I have setup this up, https://justifiedgrid.com/sources/wp-real-media-library/folders-and-top-level/. Working fine with counters etc. I would like the thumbnail galleries at the end of the sequence, to open in their own windows. Instead of on the same page. Is this possible?
Thanks Snapper
The “open galleries in lightbox” setting on the RML tab should do that.
If you meant new tab, then that’s only possible with custom code into developer hooks, but it wouldn’t do much else other than clicking with middle mouse on their thumbnails.
I should have made it clearer, what I’m trying to achieve.
I would like multiple Albums to be displayed but instead of opening the Gallery on the same page, open on a fresh page.
I can do this for Single Album by using the General Settings / Custom Link Override. I can’t find a way to get Multiple Albums to open each individual Gallery in a fresh page (RML Collection of Albums only has an option to add one Custom Link in JIG).
Hope that makes sense?
I think via custom script it’s possible. With this hook https://justifiedgrid.com/support/faq/jig-images/ I’ve been able to achieve some interesting things that have no settings. I’ll need to see your usage to better advise, please share a link.
Custom links can be included with code where otherwise unsupported. The _blank target, if you need it on a new tab can also be included. But it’s still a little hazy without seeing your setup.
Would you create manual pages for each gallery, and want to put a custom link on them in the “index” JIG’s galleries? So it’s not new tab, but pointing their handcrafted page instead of JIG changing itself in place?
Hi Firsh
I’ve found a solution, I have placed each individual album into Row Layout / Section, on my homepage and used the custom link setting, to connect each Album to a Gallery page
All working fine, now have various Albums with Title, Image Count and Preview Photo, that link individually to my JIG gallery pages
Thanks for your suggestions
But did that require you to create multiple singlle album grids? If you have too many or that ever becomes tedious, let me know and I’ll cook some code for you. Perhaps something that uses a shortcode-like marker from the description field from RML to pass as custom link.
Hi Firsh
Yes, I created multiple single album grids, not too bad as only four. Copy and pasted Shortcode into Grid Editor, only had to change URL, RML ID and add Preview Photo in RML
Thanks for the offer of custom code
Will let you know, if this method becomes a problem
Hello, does it allow bulk image uploads? does it have image grabber? can user share images via social media?
Hi,
There are no uploads (bulk or single) as JIG doesn’t manage a library, it attaches to already-existing solutions (sources). For bulk, NextGEN can be a good choice.
I don’t know what do you mean by image grabber but it probably doesn’t have it.
It depends on the lightbox you use, but two of the built-in ones have individual social sharing.
I really like the style/formatting of JIG but have a pre-sale question. I have a need for a WHITE background (vs the typical blacked out or darkened background on most lightboxes) on the lightbox view. Can that be accomplished with JIG and its bundled lightboxes? TIA
Yes look at the wedding-themed (last) example of this lightbox: https://justifiedgrid.com/lightboxes/photoswipe/ the JIG implementation includes a light skin!
PERFECT… !!! Thank you for your excellent support!
With no recent changes, my use of the JIG plugin on my site is suddenly causing “critical error” on my WordPress site.
For now, I moved the plugin off my home page and onto a test page: albj.net/test – the page password is simply “password”
My plugin code is: [justified_image_grid row_height=100 caption=slide mobile_caption=same caption_match_width=no caption_title_size=10px caption_desc_size=10px caption_align=center gradient_caption_bg=no orderby=rand filter_orderby=random max_rows=8 disable_cropping=no flickr_search_tags=-license,-plate,-custom,-vanity,-tag,-MDG flickr_search_tags_m=all flickr_search_user=55455788@N00 flickr_description=no]
The WP version and all plugins are fully up to date. There was a recent JIG update that I just installed a moment ago, and the problem remains.
I use a different codeset of the same plugin at photos.albj.net which is still working fine. But on my main site, it simply started with the critical error. Any advice?
Well, lovely how technology can make a liar out of me. With absolutely no intervention on my part, it’s now working again.
It would be helpful to see the nature of the error, did you receive an email with more verbose explanation or does something appear in the error log? It could have been a memory issue or something else masked by WP’s simplifaction of error messages.
I should’ve screenshot it, but it showed the minimal core of my WP theme (but must not have fully loaded the CSS because the fonts were wrong). Below the usual header, there was a simple DIV container with a message about the site suffering a critical error and a generic link for troubleshooting this sort of problem. That really was pretty much all there was to it. I didn’t get any e-mails. I was just randomly visiting my own site as I do from time to time to make sure all is well, and realized the problem. My quick Google-foo tells me the wp-content folder should have a debug.log file that might have info to share with you, but it’s not there. Only a bunch of 0-byte “temp-write-test” files. I found error-log file in wp-admin folder but nothing helpful in that file. I suppose it’s entirely possible my hosting provider had a momentary problem.
That’s interesting, usually an error like that breaks the entire site (WP white screen of death, with or without an error message). It’s quite oldschool for it to break in the middle. I believe you can use some free monitoring services that check the site for you periodically. If you suspect the load is too high for your site, you can use CloudFlare to at least serve the static assets from their CDN for free. Also, a caching plugin can help preserve a working state of the pages and until something changes in the content, the site is less likely to break.
Hello. Using woocommerce, I’m looking at having a link to the product in the lightbox (photoswipe) displayed as an icon rather than text, and positioned alongside the other buttons. I know I can link to it with recents_link but was wondering if this kind of styling is possible?
Hi, by other buttons you mean a link back to the product page from the the top right toolbar of the lightbox?
The problem is that recents_link puts things into the caption, but breaking out of that and making it appear as if it were in the top right corner takes some CSS wizardry and it would not look very native. The lightbox code itself is not my creation, I wrote an adaptor script to integrate it with JIG. I guess the source could be modified to include anything you need.
So far I only influenced the sharing menu items but that is a dropdown from a button that is already there.
Yeah that’s right, here’s an image to make it clear. https://imgur.com/CCAQIrb Do you know where I can modify the code for photoswipe? It looks fairly simple to add a button next to the others with that, but I’m unsure how I would get the link to the product page from there.
First, I’d need to send you the unminified edition for developers. Then in photoswipe4.js line 4000 https://i.justifiedgrid.com/roj1v4.png the ui elements are set up (the on tap actions applied to them). Around 4450 https://i.justifiedgrid.com/roj1tz.png my adaptor script adds the actual HTML layout to the body that the JS makes use of. How the link from the caption gets moved to your button is yet another story. Not that simple
Ah thanks for letting me know. I figured I would try a different approach and move the product link to a new line by changing it to display:block. One minor issue I’m having is the little dash after the description https://imgur.com/4Lc94RQ Any idea how to hide/disable that?
With a little PHP, you can change the text/html of the caption with search and replace https://justifiedgrid.com/support/faq/jig-images/
Hi, Sorry I’m not very experienced with PHP. I tried putting the ‘influencing captions’ code snippet on your link into my functions.php and updated the custom class but It wasn’t doing anything. I’m not sure if I’m going about it the correct way.
Sorry for the delay, found the setting for you! https://i.justifiedgrid.com/rop2we.png Don’t need to change the link to display block, but add <br /> to the General tab -> Separator character setting. It’s used in some other places too, that’s why it’s consolidated to the General tab.
Thanks mate, that makes it easier haha. Figured I’d put this here if anyone else was curious, I did manage to get the link to display as an icon using a fontawesome unicode as the content and changing it to a fixed position to sit alongside the other icons. Not perfect but it works! https://imgur.com/iBSDlNP
That’s neat! I guess it doesn’t fade out with the rest of the UI, though.
Yep. I did have it fade away when the mouse hadn’t moved for a couple seconds via javascript, but it never quite synced up with the photoswipe buttons, so I just compromised and made the buttons always visible. Like i said not perfect but still happy with it
Firsh, is it possible for JIG to access images on a Cloud server like AWS or BackBlaze?
Presently not, but these are interesting for future features. I use AWS (S3) myself. If you use AWS CloudFront as a CDN then yes that’s possible. But as an image source to auto-create a gallery based on what’s there: not yet.
Isn’t BackBlaze a backup provider? Or you can now expose content to the web? DigitalOcean, Azure, Google Drive and similar are also interesting, but might need to change the inner workings of the plugin to allow these as addons as not everyone want to use them all and don’t want to create bloat.
They do offer backup options but I’m using Backblaze for an imagehost I set up for a small forum. I checked with a representative to make sure they were OK with it. The program I use provides embed codes for any images uploaded so they can be shared elsewhere, just like any normal image host I suppose. From what little I understand BackBlaze is much less expensive than AWS. I’ve been using the Free option for the last couple of years (the forum is pretty small) so I can’t really say what the costs actually are.
Is that forum WordPress-based? If you use a cloud provider with a publicly accessible URL with at least a predictable structure that mirrors how they are in WP, then it’s essentially a CDN. Image URLs can be re-written prior to creating the grid (with custom code) to pull from the cloud instead. But images must be registered in the WP Media Library first.
No. That forum is a Pro Boards forum – so no image uploads. I set up the image host to provide the forum members a place to upload images that are shared on the forum so, the image host is completely independent of the forum. I was just thinking that since I already have the cloud hosting I might be able to use it for images on my site with JIG.
Ok. As long as you use it for images of your WP site by the way of syncing them there, there are ways to rewrite the image URLs in question. I use a software called syncovery to put files of the wp-content/uploads folder on the cloud then change the URLs on the site in question. Perhaps there are WP plugins that make use of the cloud. JIG out of the box would likely not be aware of your mirror, but PHP (and now JS) filter can change URLs if they are predictably different. https://justifiedgrid.com/support/faq/jig-images/ I can help write a little function that does this once you’ve established images on the cloud that (even manually) mirror your site’s files.
Alright, I’ll get back with you when I get around to trying it out.
