Error “cannot find gallery in post”
-
Ran across an odd error today after a while of having no issues! I uploaded a batch of new photos, and the uploaded correctly, went into the appropriate RML folder, but were not added to the page. No error message on either end.
I checked my php logs and see “Cannot find gallery in the post 14” and another error “Cannot find the term for 622525”
The last change I made to the site before this stopped working was a different order for the gallery shortcode. So I added “orderby=’date'” basically, which changed the galleries to be ordered by date taken as I wanted, but might be causing this issue? I removed the orderby but no luck in fixing the problem.

The issue is (likely, I think!) on line 513 of the post_types.php plugin. The preg match all regex query matches [gallery order="asc" ids="123,124,etc"] but not if the other options are at the end of the gallery shortcode.
To fix this, it’s simply to add another “.*” to the end like so:
preg_match_all( '/\[gallery.*ids="([0-9,]*)".*\]/', $content, $results );See here for a test of this: http://regexr.com/3eq5n
Next, in order to find the ids, you are looking for $results[1][0], which will ONLY match if ids is in the first position of the gallery shortcode. I won’t lie, I’m not sure how to solve this one, as it goes a bit beyond my capabilities, but if the pre_match_all is changed as I showed above, at least I could put my settings after the IDs and it would work as I intend.
Unfortunately I made the changes as I mentioned in the above comment and it seems to still not be working. I’m not certain why not. But I still believe that is where the problem lies.
As far as finding the IDs part of the array, instead of simply designating which array index to use, perhaps you could use http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-search.php ?
Sorry, I definitely should have posted the actual shortcode I’m using. My bad.
Here’s an example. WordPress processes it correctly, applying the sort and showing all the photos. It’s just that WP/LR can’t sync to a page with shortcode like this.
[gallery ids="375,377,379,381,383,385,387" orderby="post_date" order="ASC"]From my understanding, you’re using array_search to find the current ids in variable $ids and either remove or leave alone. However, to set the $ids array it just assumes that the $str = $results[1][0]; is “ids”, not “orderby” or “order” or any other options right? Anyway, just trying to help with the debugging. Sorry if I’m way off, I definitely don’t fully understand what you’re doing here.
After looking at it a bit further, to find “ids” in gallery, you are only using the $str = $results[1][0]; which just assumes it’s the first thing in the gallery shortcode, not actually searching for it in the gallery array of options.
Ah, but the preg_match should only match those ids, not anything else. Hmm… ok, no idea why it wouldn’t return anything into $results.
I’ll try resetting with extensions and then starting from scratch. It’s just a pain!
