New galleries Vs. Old galleries

Didn’t follow your question fully. If you are using a native WP gallery, unless that gallery has a "style" attribute passed in the shortcode, the gallery will display as normal. See http://aquoid.com/news/plugins/photonic/wp-galleries/. The first display is a regular gallery, that displays when I don’t use a style attribute (or if I don’t have Photonic). Subsequent galleries are displayed using specific Photonic features.

Not really sure as to what you are asking – the definition of your styles for your galleries are coming from your theme. If you are asking why you are seeing new galleries on the front page and why aren’t seeing old ones in your front page, that is a question for you and the author of your theme.

I took a look at your page’s source code – there is absolutely no trace of Photonic anywhere in your pages (you can do a search in the source code for Photonic), hence the issues you are facing are from another source, not Photonic.

AND I STILL HAVE AN AWFUL LOOK ON MY SITE DUE TO YOUR PLUGIN.

Okay, you have to explain to me what the “AWFUL LOOK” is (and since I haven’t done anything to aggravate / insult you personally, I would appreciate it if you avoided using ALL CAPS to yell.

If you can explain to me what the expected behaviour is and what it is that Photonic is supposedly messing up (screenshots will help), I can provide you some direction. From what I can see, you are probably referring to your front page, since I am not seeing any material difference between old galleries and new galleries in the individual pages – http://www.dinogomez.com/cynthia-adam-wedding-dreams-los-cabos-resort-ttd/ (old) and http://www.dinogomez.com/randa-jim-intimate-wedding-preview/ (new) look very similar. So are you referring to your front page?

The simple point I am making to you right now is that your galleries are not being styled by Photonic – they are being styled by WP. Check your source code. You will see this:

<style type='text/css'>
			#gallery-1 {
				margin: auto;
			}
			#gallery-1 .gallery-item {
				float: left;
				margin-top: 10px;
				text-align: center;
				width: 33%;
			}
			#gallery-1 img {
				border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;
			}
			#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {
				margin-left: 0;
			}
		</style>

This is from WP, not Photonic. Photonic doesn’t use the “gallery-*” id for any gallery.

Also, what I see in your page source code is this:

<!-- see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php -->
		<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-7521 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>
			<dt class='gallery-icon'>
				<a href='http://www.dinogomez.com/wedding-setups-sheraton-hacienda-del-mar-los-cabos/wedding-photographer-dino-gomez-201/' title='Wedding Photographer Dino Gomez'><img width="120" height="120" src="http://www.dinogomez.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Wedding-Photographer-Dino-Gomez102-120x120.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Wedding Photographer Dino Gomez" /></a>
			</dt></dl><dl class='gallery-item'>

That markup is not from Photonic – it comes from WP. Photonic’s markup would have the word “photonic” show up in the class name at different places.

The basic questions you have to ask yourself are:

1. Do you want the gallery thumbnails on your front page?
2. If you don’t want gallery thumbnails in your front page why are you seeing them? My suspicion is that you have defined a manual excerpt for them, and your manual excerpt is using the [gallery] shortcode. If you correct your manual excerpt to remove the gallery shortcode, then that will take the thumbnails off the front page.
3. If you don’t want gallery thumbnails on your front page and if you don’t have manual excerpts, the question becomes, do you have another plugin that evaluates shortcodes before printing excerpts? Or, did you make any change to your theme template file to evaluate shortcodes in the excerpt generation.
4. If you want gallery thumbnails on your front page, then those are being styled by the WP styles – Photonic has nothing to do with them. Try including the thumbnails for your old galleries on your front page – you will see the same result.

The answer to your problem is in the questions above, not in Photonic.

Those thumbs should look nice and square, not lons and messy.

This is what I am trying to tell you: Photonic has nothing to do with those thumbs or their styling.

You are seeing thumbnails because you probably have the [gallery] shortcode in your manual excerpt. If you remove the [gallery] from your manual excerpt you will not see those thumbnails. If you want I can log into your site and fix this in a few minutes – it is a content issue, not a plugin issue. If you take a fresh site with your theme and don’t put in Photonic there, if your manual excerpt has the gallery shortcode, that site will also reflect the same problem.

My offer to fix it by looking at your site still stands. If you want you can create a login for me. My email is my first name (Sayontan) at gmail.com.
