Title: Caching thumbs Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Caching thumbs * Resolved [thoughton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thoughton/) * (@thoughton) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/caching-thumbs/) * Installed this today, seems to be working ok in it’s default state. However I noticed that it is quite slow displaying each thumb, presumably because it is creating them on the fly. * However when I turn on ‘Enable thumbnail caching’, instead of displaying the thumbnails it shows a purple ‘barber pole’ animation in place of each thumbnail. This animation goes on forever. If I FTP into my server I can see that that the plugin is not creating a ‘thumbs’ folder. I also tried creating my own ‘thumbs’ folder and giving it 755 permissions, but the barber poles still appear. Any ideas much appreciated! * On an unrelated note, do you anticipate any problems using this plugin to display the same gallery on several different pages?

I am using Lightview on my site (not via a plugin) and LG doesn’t seem to find it. * Plugin Author [Marcel Brinkkemper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macbrink/) * (@macbrink) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/caching-thumbs/#post-2170701) * Please check the plugin FAQ #2 [http://brimosoft.nl/lazyest/gallery/frequently-asked-questions/](http://brimosoft.nl/lazyest/gallery/frequently-asked-questions/) * Plugin Author [Marcel Brinkkemper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macbrink/) * (@macbrink) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/caching-thumbs/#post-2170702) * LG checks for known and tesetd WordPress plugins only. If your own plugin is working, you can enable the setting anyway. * Thread Starter [thoughton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thoughton/) * (@thoughton) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/caching-thumbs/#post-2170705) * Thanks for the quick response :), but which part of the FAQ are you directing me to? * GD works on my server, as I am using it in other places. * Permissions seem to be okay. LG can create the slides folder, but it doesnt create the thumbs folder. * Thread Starter [thoughton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thoughton/) * (@thoughton) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/caching-thumbs/#post-2170706) * After re-reading your post you seem to be saying I might be running out of memory? I don’t understand why caching the images to disk take more memory than just displaying them, but perhaps that is the problem. I will assign more and see if it works. * Plugin Author [Marcel Brinkkemper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macbrink/) * (@macbrink) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/caching-thumbs/#post-2170707) * Please unselect the setting **Create cached thumbnails after page has loaded in the browser ** * Thread Starter [thoughton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thoughton/) * (@thoughton) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/caching-thumbs/#post-2170710) * Cool, thanks 🙂 I unchecked that box and now it seems to be working. I can see the thumbnails being created in the thumbs folder. * However the slides folder has now vanished. It doesn’t really matter to me as I won’t be using the slideshow, but thought you might like to know. * Thanks for all the help! * Plugin Author [Marcel Brinkkemper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macbrink/) * (@macbrink) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/caching-thumbs/#post-2170720) * After changing the thumbnail setting, LG may clear the cache. * Thread Starter [thoughton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thoughton/) * (@thoughton) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/caching-thumbs/#post-2170721) * I see, thanks for the explanation! * Out of interest, is the _Create cached thumbnails after page has loaded in the browser_ setting intended to postpone the slow thumbnail creation process until after the page load? * Plugin Author [Marcel Brinkkemper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macbrink/) * (@macbrink) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/caching-thumbs/#post-2170729) * It should load the thumbs one by one through javascript. If you upload many images by ftp, this could be handy. But sometimes it doesn’t work. I’m investigating why not. * Thread Starter [thoughton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thoughton/) * (@thoughton) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/caching-thumbs/#post-2170761) * I see, good luck with tracking it down. * By the way, in version 1.0.35 the ‘Visit plugin site’ link on the Plugins page in WP admin section is broken. It links to brimosoft.nl/lazyest/galery/ (missing an ‘L’ in gallery). I was looking for a ‘donate’ link, which I will use as soon as the client settles his invoice!
