Hello,
Unfortunately is not possible to customize the deeplinking feature, in a future update I’m planning to simplify it to something like #filter=Category 1 but would still need to use the hash (#) since I can’t interfere with the site normal navigation

Meanwhile if you don’t like it you can turn it off with this setting: https://imgur.com/a/0jTuV6m

Hello,

Hello,
You are correct, when you remove the plugin it removes the directory “wp_auto_grid” which contains the galleries folder, I would suggest to place the galleries in a different directory, maybe directly under wp-content, for example:

wp-content/galleries/gallery

and then in your gallery settings, just change the path like this:

../../galleries/gallery

so now your galleries are not deleted when removing the plugin

I hope this makes sense

Best, David

Unfortunately, it is not possible. The directory cannot be changed. The path is: /wp-content/plugins/wp_auto_grid/galleries/gallery but only the ”/galleries/gallery” part can be changed, the rest is impossible to edit.

Indeed, you currently have this:

galleries/gallery

just replace it for this:

../../galleries/gallery

and that’s it, with the ../ you can navigate back

Let me know if this makes sense

Best, David

Hello Diego,
The plugin doesn’t have a limitation, by any chance the new images have some special characters on their names?

Best, Dasvid

Hi David, there’re no special characters. All the images have the same name + different number. It’s a generic problem because there’s the same problem even if I change the n+1 image (it works up to “n” images).

Diego

Hi Diego,
Can you show me a living example online? you can contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castleplugins#contact

Hello,
This feature doesn’t come by default, but by modifying a line of JS code you can activate a “download” button in the lightbox (fancybox)

I hope this helps

Best, David

Hi,
by default the plugin doesn’t have this option, but there’s a way to activate something like this in Fancybox (the popup), to do that, you would need to open the class_auto_grid_shortcode.php file and add this line of code: https://imgur.com/a/rZFp0Kd

I hope this helps

Best, David

Hello,
This is quite strange, by any chance in the .zip file you are trying to upload there’s a __MACOSX folder or file? if so, try removing it

If still no luck, please contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castleplugins#contact
I’ll be happy to install the plugin for you

Best, David

Hi Z,
Strange, it still says “Forbidden”, can you try contacting your hosting provider and send them the link above so they can bypass that file, so is not blocked by the web server?

Best, David

Hi David, the web developer enabled direct PHP file access on the server and it’s now working – victory! Thanks for your help

glad it is working now

Hi Aldo,
Happy to hear that you are still using it

It depends, which version of the plugin you are using, are you using the new version? (the one based on the Media Boxes) or are you using the old one (first version)?

Best, David

Thanks David…. I know I’ve not updated a least 3 years ago… so it must be the old version. So my guess I need to re-created with the new version?

Hi Aldo, the major update was on 2017, maybe you already on the new version, can you send me the link to your site so I can check it out?

Best, David

it is blank when I look at the template area. is there a chunk of code I could copy and paste into there?

yes, you can copy the code from here: https://www.castlecodeweb.com/wp-autogrid/documentation/#template

or you can also create a new gallery and copy the code from there (when you create a new gallery the “template area” has some content by default)

I hope this makes sense

Best, David

that worked. thanks,

Hello,
thank you

it may be an issue with the scrollbar, try adding this peace of CSS:

body{
  overflow-y: scroll; 
}

if the issue persists can you show me a living example online? so I can take a look and see what’s going on.

Hello,
the plugin is placed via shortcode, so yes, you can place the shortcode in elementor

Best, David

Thank you very much. I liked the plugin because of its function, fast photo viewer, zoom, very mobile. What you need now. A successful solution to the problem.

thank you

Hello,
thank you

Yes, there’s a feature for that purpose, lets imagine you have an image named Autumn.jpg under Category 1, if you want that image to be under Category 2 and Category 3 as well (without adding it again inside those folders) you would need to use the config.txt file, and inside that config.txt you can write something like this:

image           => Category 1/Autumnn.jpg
extra_filter    => Category 2, Category 3

so the Autumn.jpg image will be also found under category 2 and 3

If you haven’t use the config.txt file before, you can check how it works here: http://www.castlecodeweb.com/wp-autogrid/documentation/#conffile

I hope this makes sense

Best, David

sent you an email

Hi Gianluca,
Yes, that would be possible, although it would required customizing the code and adding the option in the admin section

yes, I added a “clone” button in the admin (to clone the settings) you can send me a private message so I can send it to you to try it out, you can contact me here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact

Best, David

Hi David, popoup Fancybox buttons on top right, are not visible when user is login and wp admin bar in on. May you help me?

Best regards Gianluca

Hi Gianluca,
try adding this peace of CSS:

.fancyboxMB-container {
  z-index: 999999999999 !important;
}

Best, David

I guess another related question is if there is a limit to the number of categories?

Hello,
Ohh I see, the plugin doesn’t have a limit in the total number either, but sometimes if the thumbnails are a little bit heavy browsers tend to lag when there are many images, can you show me a living example online? so I can take a look and see what’s going on? you can contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact

Best, David

Hi,
the plugin doesn’t have a limit per category at the moment

Yes,
there’s an option in the admin settings named “Enable gallery for popup” which disables the next/prev buttons, so only a single image will show up in the lightbox

Best, David

Ok thanks, so I can insert a main photo for the album and when I click the lightbox opens with the other photos in the album inside?

Hi, ohh you meant a unique gallery in the light box per image in the grid, unfortunately the plugin doesn’t have this feature, it might be possible with the media boxes plugin but you would have to specify the HTML manually for all your images

Best, David

Hello,
Very strange, can you send me a couple of screen shots of this? you can contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact

Best, David

I sent you a private email through the link.

lets continue via email

Hi,
Do you mean like this example? http://www.castlecodeweb.com/wp-autogrid/portfolio/# some images have video-iframe and others have just images

if so then yes, you can have in the same gallery a combination of that

Best, David

Hello, yes! It is also possible to add a shared social button to any single picture? Can I set a link for a single picture? Thank you again

Hello,
At the moment the plugin doesn’t have sharing social functionalities

And yes you can set a link for a single picture

Best, David
