Hello, unfortunately I have another problem which I cannot solve. I just want to be able to center the name “{{name}}” or the text (from the Config.txt) in the middle of the photo. With the function this works fine, like in the example “FULL WIDTH GALLERY” for example.
But I want to have the name directly in the photo without having to use the thumbnail-overlay overlay-always-visible.
Unfortunately I could not solve the problem even after many attempts. Is that possible at all? Or is it only possible with thumbnail-overlay or thumbnail-overlay overlay-always-visible?
Finally a big praise for the ingenious AutoGrid plugin. I’m really not a programmer, but with some practice and looking up how CSS works on the internet, you can create the best picture galleries! Thanks for that.
Greetings from Switzerland MarkusHi Markus,
Thank you 
I appreciate your nice feedback.
About your issue, you can probably do this with CSS, can you show me a living example online? so I can see how you have it configured, also you can contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact for better support
Best, David
There’s a plane that has absolute positioning that flies across the screen as you scroll. That no longer works as long as your plugin is Active. If I deactivate it, it works again.
I’m using Elementor Pro > Custom Positioning (absolute) and Motion Effects > Scrolling Effects (vertical and horizontal)
Hello,
Very strange, I don’t see how the auto grid could affect that effect, but any chance you could give me access to your WP? so I can see what’s going on

Hello,
How do we enable a scroll for the fancybox?
We have a portfolio with websites but there’s no scroll available. https://www.screencast.com/t/dtERaswmrN
How do we access the default configuration from the Fancybox component itself? There’s no interface for that through your plugin.
Hello,
Strange, the scroll bar should be available when using iframes, like the one here: http://www.castlecodeweb.com/wp-autogrid/popup-content/ (click the “A Web Page” example)
I’m guessing you are using the config.txt file, did you specify also the popup_type? like this:
image => F-A Web Page.jpg popup_src => http://www.castlecodeweb.com/mediaboxes/example/ popup_type => iframeLet me know
Best, David
hello how can I disable the automatic load of the images when I scroll down with the mouse?
I want people to press the button to load more images
I have the problem with all my auto_grid gallerys. Of course I disabled the Lasy Load option under GRID, but it doesn’t change anything.
example: https://link2web.ch/bridgeman/auto-grid-privat-2/ or https://link2web.ch/bridgeman/full_width_gallery/Thanks for your help. Markus
Hi Markus,
I fixed the issue, please try re-downloading the plugin (from the downloads page) and update it.
Do not forget to backup your galleries folder, because if you remove the plugin the images inside the galleries will be erased
Best, David
Hello David Once again thank you very much for your help! The new version now also works perfectly with the Lasy Load. Best regards Markus
Awesome
Hi, I would like when you click on one picture, it opens, not a popup but a new window with one page of the website. But I don’t manage to do that. I can’t find the index.php of the plugin. I already created my config.php and writen : mage => Sport/site-vitrine-dalisan-02.jpg link => https://atelier-liege.kwalt-digital.com/espace-coworking/
image => Sport/referencement-dalisan.jpg link => https://atelier-liege.kwalt-digital.com/talents/
I bought the plugin to show my customer projects so I need to do that. Thanks for helping
Hello,
Ohh it shouldn’t be config.php it should be config.txt check the docs about this here: http://www.castlecodeweb.com/wp-autogrid/documentation/#conffile
I hope it makes sense 
Hello, I was wrong in my email but right on my FTP : I have a config.txt but the link doesn’t appear and neither the new name. It seems it doesn’t see the file config.txt. And other question, how can I change the overlay color please ? Here is the link to my test page : https://atelier-liege.kwalt-digital.com/test-portfolio/ Thanks for helping
Hi,
I noticed in your config.txt that you have it like this:
image => Sport/site-vitrine-dalisan-02.jpgbut your folder “sport” is in lowercase, so it should be this:
image => sport/site-vitrine-dalisan-02.jpglets see if that solves the issue
Also you can change the background color with this peace of CSS, just add it in the CSS tab:
.thumbnail-overlay{
background: red !important;
}
Best, David
Hello Autogrid programming team
I have the following problems with the new version of Autogrid V 3.2 With my old version V 2.2 the problem didn’t exist yet!
I hope very much that they can help me.
First of all: The fancybox is under the top menu, so you can’t click on the controls. (No matter with which WP topic)
Secondly: Within a popup the images are not loaded automatically, you always have to press the “Load More” button first.
Thirdly: The sorting order in the All tab does not work, but within the individual tabs it does.
All these errors exist since version 3.2.
I have here the link to my test homepage, there you see immediately all the described problems. In both versions the same photos are installed.
https://link2web.ch/bridgeman/Apologies for my English
Kind regards from Switzerland from Lake Constance
Markus Bruggmann photo@bridgeman.chHello Markus
1) The first issue is just some z-index problem between your theme and fancybox you can quickly fix that by adding this peace of CSS:
.fancyboxMB-container{
z-index: 999999999999;
}
2) You mean that when you are in the popup you can’t see unloaded images? that’s an issue in the old version, but in the new version you can navigate through all the images even if they are not loaded in the grid (I see this working in your site as well)
3) There’s a setting in the admin section for this, just go to the “Source” tab and uncheck the “Few thumbnails from each folder” setting
I hope it makes sense
Best, David
Thank you Dave for the quick answer!
So far almost everything works, except that on my startpage, in the popup the pictures are only loaded when I click the “Load More” Butten. Is there no way to load the first pictures immediately? Or a CSS code that I can insert for Load More?
Thanks a lot Markus Bruggmann photo@bridgeman.chOhh I see the issue, that’s probably because the auto grid is in a popup (which is hidden when the auto grid is loaded), in other words, the auto grid loads faster than the popup so it doesn’t have dimensions to adapt.
we can try to place a timeout so it waits a little so the popup finish loading, in order to do so open the init.js file (of the plugin) and find this:
$('.auto-grid-responsive-gallery').each(function(){
var settings = $.parseJSON($(this).attr('data-settings'));
$(this).attr('data-settings', '');
//console.log(settings);
$(this).autoGrid(settings);
});
then replace it for this:
setTimeout(function(){
$('.auto-grid-responsive-gallery').each(function(){
var settings = $.parseJSON($(this).attr('data-settings'));
$(this).attr('data-settings', '');
//console.log(settings);
$(this).autoGrid(settings);
});
}, 600);
if still doesn’t work try adding more milliseconds, so instead of 600 maybe 900
Let me know if this makes sense
Best, David
Hello Dave.
Thank you so much!
Everything now works perfectly, thanks to your help and super-fast support.
Have a nice day.
Yours sincerely Markus
awesome you’re welcome!!
We have a problem with your plugin not loading properly when the page initially loads. It always loads 1 column more than requested and does not fill the entire width of the container that it is in, BUT once the page scrolls down, the plugin refreshes to fill the container properly and uses the correct amount of columns. Here are two examples:
4 column layout loads as 5 column initially and then refreshes to 4 column on scroll: https://dev.highstarranch.com/weddings/weddings-gallery/erin-kate-photos/ 3 column layout loads as 4 column initially and then refreshes to 3 column on scroll: https://dev.highstarranch.com/weddings/weddings-gallery/alix-loosle-photos/The second issue I have relates to the rollovers. I just want the black rollover without text in the box. If I have to have text in the rollover, I want to be able to designate what that text is, but right now the text shows as the last name of the photographer and I cannot figure out how to control what that text is. It’s not the name of the gallery or any other setting. How can I either remove the text, or change the text to the full name of the photographer without having to make the config.txt file with every photo called out in lines of code… that’s a pain in the butt!
We are hoping to launch these galleries and more today using your plugin, so please get back to me soon on how to fix these small issues. Thanks
Hello,
1) I see the issue, but it seems to be related to the container the plugin is in, when I first load your page (before the plugins loads) I noticed the container is not full width, see this: https://imgur.com/0ibWMJC
and it seems like later on (probably with Javascript) the width of the container changes to full-width. In the middle of that the plugin loads and adapts to the initial width of the container, it doesn’t know that later on that same container is transformed to full-width
Also the plugin doesn’t fill the entire width of the container because the container has padding on the sides (again that’s related to the container)
the following CSS might solve this issue though, I’m not able to test it since I don’t have access to your theme, but you can give it a try:
.vc_row-has-fill{
min-width: 100% !important; /* this will force full-width of the container always */
}
.vc_row-has-fill .wpb_raw_html{
padding: 0 !important; /* this will remove the padding on the sides of the container */
}
I added some comments so you know what’s doing
2) By default the plugin uses the name of your images in the thumbnail-overlay effect, but you can totally remove it though, there are 2 ways of doing this, one of them would be the following:
Go to the “Template” tab (in the plugin settings) and remove the following HTML:
<div class="thumbnail-overlay-animated" data-from="top">
<div class="media-box-title">{{name}}</div>
</div>
<div class="thumbnail-overlay-animated" data-from="bottom">
<div class="media-box-date">{{filter}}</div>
</div>
that means you don’t want to show the name and the filter in the thumbnail-overlay effect
I hope all of this makes sense
Best, David
Thanks for the help. I have added your CSS to the WordPress page “Custom CSS Settings” and then assigned the “vc_row-has-fill” to the CSS Class of the Raw HTML widget being used in the container to apply the short code. I also removed the 3% padding I added to the widget, so the second CSS was not needed. BUT, it is still doing the same thing. Any suggestions how you would prefer this get programmed into the page? I have tried a text box widget and the Raw HTML widget to place the shortcode andboth give the same result. I would give a screenshot, but there is no upload.
Raw HTML with shortcode – CSS applied to outter row: https://dev.highstarranch.com/weddings/weddings-gallery/alix-loosle-photos/ Text Box with Shortcode – CSS applied to Text Box widget inside the row: https://dev.highstarranch.com/weddings/weddings-gallery/britt-chudleigh-photos/I have removed the code from the Template tab and that worked, thanks.
Hello,
I would need to take a closer look to your theme, is there any chance you could give me WP access? you can contact me privately via email for better support here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact
Best, David
Thanks. I just emailed you from that. Please email me back so I can get your email to add to the temporary Admin user and I will send you access.
hi, I want to add an ad code / banner to load under each image popup. and reload the ad when clicked next image. how do I do this ? thanks!
Hello,
This feature is not included in the plugin, but it can be done if you know some JS and CSS (you would need to customize the ja code)
Best, David
which file exactly ?
In the plugin/components/Media Boxes/js/mediaBoxes.js there’s a popup section
are you available for customization ?
Yes, but I’m currently away, I’ll be back on Wednesday
Hi again, Can you take my request of customization ? can I get a quote please ? thanks!
please contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact also do you already have those banners? can you show them to me?
Best, David
Hello David,
We meet again. Well I wanted to buy this plugin. I have a an querry.
1) How do I show multiple galleries from each photo.
for e.g each front photo thumnails…when clicked…. should popup and pull photos from “folder1 (12 pics)” and when you click 2nd photo…it should pop & pull photos from “folder2 (22 pics)”. Is this possible? Please let me know. Thanks
Hello,
With this plugin that’s not possible, but I’m actually working in something like that, I hope it doesn’t take long
Best, David
Hello David, Thanks for replying.
It’s a great news..would you let me how soon will you be releasing that. Thanks.
Hello
I don’t have a release date, but hopefully in couple months
Hello, how can i upload images?
Only with an FTP user or can i put it on the Mediatheke of wordpress
Hello,
Yes, you need to upload the images via FTP, unless you have a plugin that uploads images into a specific folder in your WP installation
Best, David
Hello,
You can customize the background color with CSS, just add this peace of code (in the CSS tab)
.thumbnail-overlay {
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.3) !important;
}
About the slideshow, that’s strange, can you send me a private message here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact so I can send you a most recent version
Best, David
Hello, I am a user of your plug-in for many years, the best. Always in my opinion! Is there a chance to use .webp images someday ? Do you work on it ? Because this format is being democratized with great speed. Already used for my site showcase, it is a huge advantage for the speed of display pages. Good continuation, Mickael
Hi Mickael,
I haven’t try using .webp images, but you can give it a try, open the auto_grid.php file and find this:
$images_allowed = array('jpeg', 'jpg', 'png', 'gif');
in there try adding this new image format
I hope this makes sense
Also don’t forget to renew your support period, as codecanyon says it has expired
Best, David
Hello, thanks for your answer. Just tested but didn’t work. Hope working one time because this kind of format take more and more place. I use your plugin all the same, so good !
Hi ! I’m very glad I purchased your auto-grid plugin. I will use it to upload pictures from a photobooth, so the users can see the pictures online right away during the event. There’s only a little thing I can’t figure. There is a “download” button included with fancybox, and I tried to add it in the jquery.fancybox.min.js file (toolbar:”auto”,buttons:[“download”,”zoom”,”slideShow”,”thumbs”,”close”])
This used to work in the plugin I was using previously, but the wordpress settings of auto-grid (Popup/Fancy Box/Buttons) seem to override the auto toolbar setup of fancybox. Is there a way around? Thanks !
Hello,
I’m glad you like it
and yes you can add the download button in the Auto Grid as well like this:
1) Open the class_auto_grid_shortcode.php file and find this:
isset($gallery['fancyb_btn_slideshow']) ? 'slideShow' : '', isset($gallery['fancyb_btn_fullscreen']) ? 'fullScreen' : '', isset($gallery['fancyb_btn_thumbs']) ? 'thumbs' : '', isset($gallery['fancyb_btn_close']) ? 'close' : ''2) In there add the download button like this:
'download', isset($gallery['fancyb_btn_slideshow']) ? 'slideShow' : '', isset($gallery['fancyb_btn_fullscreen']) ? 'fullScreen' : '', isset($gallery['fancyb_btn_thumbs']) ? 'thumbs' : '', isset($gallery['fancyb_btn_close']) ? 'close' : '',
I hope this makes sense
Best, David
It works in a folder inside my ftp ? Not inside the wp-content/uploads but in the root where is the wordpress ?
Hello,
you can use a relative path to go outside the WP installation, for example: ../../../gallery
Best, David
on Android, saving doesn’t work
Hello,
Can you explain a little bit more? Do you mean saving the options in the WP admin panel?
hi! is the plugin compatible with Wordpress 5.0.3 and PHP 7? Thanks
yes it is
Is there a way to autostart to slideshow. I know this can be down when you click on an image, if you have it set it will auto start after you click on an image. However can you autostart it when the page loads?
Hi dear customer,
I’m currently on vacations, but I’ll be back in 5 days, so I can’t be of much help at the moment.
About your issue, you mean open the light box when the page loads right? If so then it is possible by doing a small JS tweak, I’ll help you out once I get back (on January 5)
Best, David
I found a small work around in that you can use the deep linking to autostart directly if you have a known image name and location. However it will be cleaner for navigation purposes to not have to do that. So at your earliest convenience a tweak to the JS would be appreciated.
ohhh, but you want to open in the lightbox the first image when the page loads?
Yes please.
Hi,
alright, then do the following:
1) open the plugin_extra/init.js file
2) and find this lines of code:
});
})(jQuery);
3) right before those lines add this:
$('.auto-grid-responsive-gallery').eq(0).find('.mb-open-popup').eq(0).trigger('click');
4) clear your browser cache
and that’s it

Hi,
does this happen also with the example galleries? can you contact me via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact so I can send you a new version of the plugin and see if that solves this issue
Best, David
Hi,can you have a link under images? also can have a way to insert automaticly watermark on images? thank you
Hi,
yes you can have a link under each image, about watermarking, the plugin doesn’t have any built in feature to automatically modify the image itself and add a watermark
Best, David
