This is because an ajax call updates the view counter when a fullsize image is shown, and front-end ajax uses admin-ajax.php, a stupid thing in wp.
This problem is almost fixed ( by making my own ajax startup interface ) and currently under test, will be released today or tomorrow ( version 5.1.17 )
A thousand thanks for your speedy response. And thank you for all your hard work on this plugin — you’ve done an awesome job with it!
I did the update. Although the Ajax doesn’t bring up the HTACCESS password prompt anymore, now the spinning loader animation just runs forever but never pulls up the next level of gallery images. Any ideas?
This has been reported once before. The problem is that i can not reproduce it. Maybe i can when i have your settings.
Please do the following:
Go to the Phot ALbums settings page and run Table VIII-A2: Backup settings.
This creates a file named settings.bak in your depot directory (…/wp-content/wppa-depot/admin/settings.bak ( if you are admin ).
This is a normal text file. Please mail it to me: opajaap at opajaap dot nl
Once i can reproduce, i can most likely quick find the cause of this problem.
Whatever you did, that fixed it. Thanks!
It was not in your settings.
Important!:
Now you updated to 5.1.18, the password question is back in the slideshow, because you can now choose between admin-ajax.php and wppa-ajax-front.php and i set the default on admin-ajax.php. There are sites that do not work because of statuscode 202.
So the problem is not fixed yet, but you should check box Table IV-A1.1: Ajax NON Admin to get the previous situation. ( You can only check IV-A1.1 when IV-A1 is checked, however it will also work for certain ajax actions when IV-A1 is unchecked )
