Hello, I’m trying to get the ‘caption’ field in my image to show up in the pop up that i’m using (social image grid). However it’s just pulling the title field no matter what I put in the shortcode. Can you please advise?
[justified_image_grid caption_field=caption title_field=caption]
The lightbox text isn’t determined by what you set as caption on top of thumbnails. Lightboxes pull their text from the ‘link title’ and ‘img alt’ attributes, you can set them on the lightboxes tab ‘what to show in the lightbox’ section’s two settings.
Thank you!
No problem!
Good day,
I have secured users logging into my site which need to see only their own posts…
How would I be able to filter a JIG by posts Author… I’m currently using this short code:
[justified_image_grid recent_posts=yes recents_description=author recents_filter_tax=filter recents_filter_term=Author recents_post_type=multiverso]
Thank for your help
Sorry filtering by Author is not a feature yet. Would you like to set that in the shortcode so all displayed posts are already by your desired author or would you like the user to be able to filter the authors using the filtering buttons or author-cloud?
YOUR PLUGIN IS FREAKEN AWSOME by the way – I use it for almost everything… 
Currently admin is posting personal documents (user specific) in the back-end and then setting the post-author to “user A” – ‘allocating’ the document to a specific user. When “user A” logs in he is able to only see the documents he is an ‘author’ to (document allocated to him).
Currently I’m unable to sort JIG to a taxonomy that is equal to the author… neither do I know how to code such things, not as clever as you guys 
I’d appreciate if you can help me…
Thanks again
Author is not a taxonomy as far as I know, so that would need to be specifically added but I like the idea and you are not the first to ask about this. Contact me from my profile I can add this as a beta feature. I’m not a team just one guy
Thanks for the nice words
AWSOME SUPPORT! This guy is committed to making his plugin work for you!
Thanks for helping with this query, u rock!
No problem 
Hi Firsh, first of all: Thanks for this wonderful Plugin. Looks really nice with some nice features.
Unfortunately I do have a problem. I created galleries like in the tutorials, but they won’t show up when I do open a page with the link. BUT: After refreshing with the browser (Firefox and Safari) the gallery shows up perfectly. So the page is blank until i refresh the page (tried to clean cache, try it with different browsers) but nothing worked. Thanks for your help!
Sounds like you have an AJAX site, can you disable AJAX or animated page load in your theme? Otherwise there is an older modified version of JIG that supports AJAX.
Hi, thanks for your answer, Firsh. I do use:” http://themeforest.net/item/photoeclipse-ajax-powered-portfolio-wp-theme/2297592 ” – It’s Ajax Powered… So I guess I “have” to use Ajax. Where can I find the older modified version?
thanks so much! 
Contact me from my profile. Note that it’s somewhat older. I’ll integrate the AJAX compatibility in the future.
Thank you! I appreciate your help. Have send you an e-mail via your profile. THX!

AJAX support is included in the form of unconditional script loading setting, JIG v1.9 was released today.
Hallo with the code:
function defer_parsing_of_js ( $url ) { if ( FALSE === strpos( $url, ’.js’ ) ) return $url; if ( strpos( $url, ‘jquery.js’ ) ) return $url; return ”$url’ async onload=’myinit()”; } add_filter( ‘clean_url’, ‘defer_parsing_of_js’, 11, 1 );
in my theme funktions.php I get in your plugin the error message: The Justified Image Grid JS is not loaded.
Can I skip it? Are there solutions?
JIG doesn’t support AJAX or deferred JS. Why do you defer jQuery? Other script may rely on it as well.
Yes i am managing it and i did tried to fix it SSL certificate authentication working fine otherwise but this issue still eixit … please let me know where i can send you more detail
Thanks
Through my profile, I’ll reply back so you’ll have my address.
Hey, I have a question before purchasing this plugin : My actual theme doesn’t contain any lightbox so images open natively on the browser, does your plugin contain a lightbox ? I would like to use your plugin without creating galleries on my posts….Can it open .jpg files I put on my post (without creating a gallery) ? Thank you.
It includes prettyPhoto, ColorBox and PhotoSwipe.
You must create galleries, the standalone images in the post won’t be used by JIG.
Hi, How could I have the same function of opening an image (from recent_posts) with preetyphoto and have a link to the post inside the opened lightbox with the Foobox plugin?! I could not find a way to show the link to the post inside an opened Foobox…. Could you help, please!?
Thanks!
This is the base of the shortcode:
[justified_image_grid lightbox=foobox recent_posts=yes recents_link_to=image recents_link=yes]
Does any text show up for you in FooBox? If so you can add the post link to either caption position using the recents_link setting/attribute.
Hi, no caption show in my Foobox!!!
NO text at all!
Check your settings in JIG, lightboxes tab, link title and img alt settings. These primarily control what is shown in the lightbox. Also check out the foobox settings (in that plugin), they allow you to control where to pull the caption text from. If you show me your site maybe I can tell you more.
Try asking FooBox’s support then as it seems right from the JIG side of things.
HI, since you say you have support to Foobox I thought would ask here…..thanks!
Yeah but technical questions about the workings or bugs of it should be directed to them 
Hi, ok. thanks! just sent a Support Ticket to them!!! 
Cool!
Hello,
I have issues with fetching images from facebook when i try to authenticat fb use it gives me following error “SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK” i have already tried solution u proposed i.e php modification: curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, TRUE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, ”/srv/ssl/Go_Daddy_Class_2_CA.pem”); but still not working and when i contacted my vps hosting providers they said that the issue is rooted in the Facebook user authentication application.
Please help
If you contact me from my profile I can set the verifypeer to false in JIG. Otherwise if you have a VPS then you are managing the http server too, no?
Hi! I’m working on customizing your plugin so that when someone clicks the PIN IT button below an image in the lightbox, the image’s caption that automatically populates in the pin’s text area is a specific field from the image’s meta data (caption vs title vs alt tag… etc).
do you know if there’s a place to customize where pinterest pulls the text from within your plugin?
I know you can customize which text is displayed under the picture in the grid, and which text is displayed above the lightbox, and which text is displayed in the caption area at the bottom of the lightbox… but the pin it button doesn’t have customization options in your backend settings. so if there’s a place in one of the php files, that would be so helpful! and if not, oh well. 
thank you!
The pinterest image text is derived from the description position of prettyPhoto, which is the ‘anchor title’ attribute. So it’s the same as what displays below the photo in prettyPhoto lightbox.
Really enjoying this alongside Grandeur theme and Social Gallery Plugin.
Having a problem though, I have authorized and successfully connected Facebook and Instagram, it show me how many albums, but does not populate with content to select.
Can’t you see the content to select in the Shortcode Editor on the Facebook or Instagram tabs? You select what content to load there and not in the global JIG settings.
I just installed latest version, and still the same problem I don’t get any shortcode,
only: Message log: [11:20:29 AM] The authentication of page: xxxxxxxxxx is valid. You can choose from 42 albums.
Ah ok, got it. I see it was behind the TinyMCE
Yes that’s the shortcode editor.
Hi! I was wondering if there’s a way to programmatically call JIG and supply it with wordpress attachments and arguments?
For example, I’m programming a custom page that displays all of the uploaded media attachments in wordpress, sorted based on custom taxonomies of the parent (associated) post. What I’d like to do is have my code sort and determine which attachments should be displayed based on user input, and then feed the filtered attachment results to JIG for display.
How would I go about calling JIG in such a manner? (Or is there an easier way that I’m missing?)
Thanks!
Sorry no that would generally mean JIG would work as a standalone jQuery plugin. If you add a normal JIG gallery to the page you can study how is the core jQuery plugin called. There is a JSON object that holds the images with their information. But it’s pretty specific and is not meant to be used that way.
You’d have a better result if you tried that with JIG. You can display all images by entering a * for the ids setting. Then you can filter them by even custom taxonomy on the frontend or categories/tags on the backend.
What would be best, though, could you output the list of image ids you want to display? Can you do that, like a comma separated list (45,213,12,52)? Because then you can just add that to JIG’s ids shortcode attribute, as a PHP template tag and JIG will take care of the rest.
Ah, I actually meant with PHP, via a personal wordpress plugin I’m writing. (Not via javascript) Basically users would use drop downs on the page to change the images, videos, and posts on display via AJAX. So my idea was an AJAX call to my PHP file that sorts the attachments and then outputting the JIG HTML if that makes any sense. This was the best way I could think of doing it so far, but I feel like there’s a better way. Still working my way thought the JIG documentation.
You mentioned it’s possible to sort the images with JIG via the frontend? So would it be possible to sort what was being displayed on the page via drop downs with custom taxonomy? (And would there be any documentation on this method?)
Thanks again – and for the crazy fast reply! 
Well there is a frontend filtering feature: http://justifiedgrid.com/filtering/ it’s not sorting in the sense of A-Z or Z-A if that’s what you need. But it can show the filter buttons/tagcloud using any custom taxonomy that the images might have.
The PHP-AJAX way you mentioned will likely not work. If you drop the AJAX and supply a PHP template tag (the shortcode editor can output the PHP code too) with the ids attribute of your image list (selected by your PHP code), that’ll work.
Thanks a ton man for the awesome support, that was exactly what I needed to get me going in the right direction! 
Great, no problem
Please rate if you like
thanks a lot
Your theme is based on fixed width colums, you’d need to modify the theme’s responsive on various levels to allow the content to flow to the max width. Sorry you need to hire someone else to do that for you. JIG always takes up the max avilable space within the theme and can’t go beyond that or it would screw up the site. You might want to try disabling the sidebar on the gallery pages though.
Hi Firsch
I’m loving the plugin but issues with getting a complete row, here: http://www.creativebrisbane.com/ as you can, no matter what I change the settings to, it won’t finish a complete row….can you help?
Cheers
You need to play with the row height and height deviation settings. If you only want 1 row and not care about if some images are dropped, you can enter the number 1 into the max rows setting.
Hi Firsch I’ve tried all that but to no avail. I need complete rows (doesn’t matter how many) and it’s not happening. I have tried adjusting the max number of images and nothing too…
I have complete rows now but they are not in a grid- the second row is larger than the first. What I want is like this: http://garypeppergirl.com/
Edit this shortcode and it’ll look like that (add your image source):
[justified_image_grid thumbs_spacing=0 row_height=120 height_deviation=0 last_row=hide aspect_ratio=1]
Is there anyway to set the opacity of the caption text independent of the overlay background? Right now, there is only 1 opacity option and it effects both the overlay and caption text. There should be some way to set them individualist.
You can set the caption background differently with rgba, there is an example there. So overall the caption opacity will be effective (you can set that 1, so the text is clearly visible), BUT set an rgba CSS color for the caption background so it can be like 20% transparent. The rgba is made compatible with IE too so feel free to use it. There is an example on what is a correct value near the caption background setting.
I am trying to authorize instagram to use in my gallery. I’ve followed all the steps to set up the app and when after I authorize the user, I’m redirected to this error: “Check your redirect URI setting”.
In wordpress, I get this error: “Access token acquisition wasn’t successful. Please authorize yourself on Instagram then click ‘Manually load Instagram data’. If you already closed the Instagram dialog, click ‘Add current Instagram user’ again.”
I try to do that, but it basically keeps doing the same thing.
I BOUGHT THIS PLUG IN SPECIFICALLY TO USE AN INSTAGRAM GALLERY, AND I NEED TO LAUNCH THIS WEBPAGE TOMORROW!
please help
You need to add the redirect URL to your Instagram app – that appears in bold in the Instagram instructions on the Instagram tab, once you open the instructions there. It’s specific to your site, and needs to be exactly the same as it appears there.
yes, I followed those instructions and wound up with the error mentioned above.
Contact me from my profile I’ll need to check it out for you. It could be that sessions are disabled in your PHP config.
Thanks so much for the quick and effective support!
For anyone else having this problem temporarily disable the Intense plugin, it’s causing the conflict. No problem 
So I’m trying to use YouTube Playlists – I was able to get an RSS feed, but JIG is saying there are no items on the playlist. Here is the RSS feed link:
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/QoKkj6DrER1nvsBiZ4XT-XaN1IiSRBP6Which is for this playlist:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQoKkj6DrER1nvsBiZ4XT-XaN1IiSRBP6Any ideas why this isn’t working?
Youtube playlists are not supported as youtube doesn’t put an image to the feed entries. Only channels are supported. RSS feeds have a semi-dedicated support for youtube, it’s not as fully-featured like Facebook or Flickr compatibility.
Thank you for the quick response. Would Vimeo give me better options? Also, I noted that videos do not launch properly on iPhone, is the only way to get that support by purchasing FooBox?
Yeah FooBox is best! And yes vimeo has better feeds.
User’s videos
User’s likes
Channels
Groups
Subscriptions, Shares and Watch Later feeds
Will consider purchasing Foobox – For some reason I can’t get it to consistently use prettyphoto as a lightbox, half the time it will just link to YouTube (or Vimeo) instead of opening it in a lightbox. What am I doing wrong? Using this:
[justified_image_grid lightbox=prettyphoto rss_url=http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/merggarvey/uploads?alt=rss&v=2&orderby=published&client=ytapi-youtube-profile]
I will be moving over to Vimeo but the problem appears to be the same there.
Could be that if you click on a link too fast then prettyPhoto is not yet activated. Also, your theme may disable prettyPhoto at a lower size (like Avada). Or there could be another script in the page that causes a JS error and prevents other scripts from working.
Have tried everything I can think of – disabled every plugin other than JIG as well as resetting the theme to a stock WordPress theme and wiped the settings in JIG to go back to initial settings. Looking at the HTML, JIG is not linking to PrettyPhoto for the anchor tags:
(brackets removed so it shows up in the post)
a target=”_self” class=”jig-customLink jig-loaded” href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq80ytS7C7I&feature=youtube_gdata”
That is what is generated when it is fed the smartcode referenced in the previous post. Vimeo RSS exhibits the same behavior.
Ah, JIG considers that a custom link that should not be opened in a lightbox. You need to set the JIG Target to lightbox/video in order to have it opened in a lightbox and not loaded just as-is (_self target).
For feeds you can use the Custom link’s target setting on the general tab, to set a default target for all links in that instance.
This is indicated at the context help of the RSS link setting:
What should open when clicking on thumbnails from an RSS feed? Go to General -> Behavior of the plugin -> Custom link’s target to open permalink in the lightbox (iframe, videos) or on a new tab.
Awesome, that did it! Thank you so much – that was driving me absolutely insane, would have never figured that out. 
Okay 
Hi, we have this problem. We load the amazing JIG, everything is ok. But in new post=> add multimedia files=> load archive… the photo doesn’t appear as thumb and when i insert the photo doesn’t work properly in the post. What is the problem?
Hi, sorry I don’t know how is that related to JIG. What is “load archive”? Do you have the problem while JIG is deactivated also?
Hi,
Really a great plugin! I would love to use the functionality for a one row horizontal scrolling gallery, like used here: http://www.dixiedixon.bizWould something like that be possible?
Best, Nic
Yes it’s on the to-do, no ETA on it however.
ok, cool, thanks for the prompt reply
hello
I have a problem with the plugin:
after installation, I insert the API key, after I write the user name FLICKR but remains stuck on “communicating with flickr api, please be patient, it takes a moment.”
why?
thank you
Contact me from my profile there is likely some error on the server.
Hi,
I make a upgrade to lat version of this plugin and now the pages show this message:
All of the images have failed to load.This is most likely a TimThumb permissions error.
Go to the Justified Image Grid settings, TimThumb & CDN tab. Click check permissions then click 0755 or 0777 to see if that works (or do it manually on the files and folders it lists there in case chmod fails).
Also read the troubleshooting guide in the documentation on what else to do.
Tip: Install the official WP plugin ‘Jetpack’ by Automattic and enable ‘Photon’. Jetpack enables you to connect your blog to a WordPress.com account to use the powerful features normally only available to WordPress.com users. It’s an excellent TimThumb alternative and will make your images load faster. Note that you won’t be able to use special effects due to cross-domain security limitations. It’ll also make Justified Image Grid high resolution display or Retina ready by devicepx.js! Read more at: jetpack.me
Another possibility is that you are using W3 Total Cache to minify JS – turn that feature off.
Example: http://mochilabrasil.uol.com.br/destinos-imperdiveis/semuc-champey-guatemalaHow i can fix this?
How did you update (FTP or wp dashboard uninstall/reinstall)? Have you tried setting the permissions or Jetpack Photon? You can disable timthumb in JIG settings, timthumb tab, “use timthumb” setting.
I see you got it working with Jetpack though.
