FAQ

The visual editor replaces div-tags with p-tags

If you’re using the visual editor the div-tags may be replaced with
p-tags. To keep the markup intact you should disable the visual editor
if you’d like to edit a post/page that contains a SmoothGallery.

To do this, go to Users -> Your profile and uncheck “Use the visual
editor when writing”. Once you’ve saved and published the post/page you
can activate the visual editor again – but make sure to disable it again
if you want to change a post that contains a SmoothGallery.

The SmoothGallery doesn’t show up in Internet Explorer

SmoothGallery doesn’t seem to work with Internet Explorer if you use Prototype on your site.

Read about a solution here.
Basically you’ll have to make sure that you don’t use Prototype and
SmoothGallery on the same site or at least embed the SmoothGallery
inside an iFrame.

What about integrating it into my theme?
