Gallery does not load thumbnails and shows in one column

    Hello everyone,

    I have migrated wordpress installation to a new host. I have moved one single installation out of a multisite to a single installation on a new host. I managed to get everything working fine except for a gallery by BestWebSoft. So I decided to delete it and install a new gallery. I tried Foogallery first, because I have never had problems with it. It works perfectly allright in admin including preview but does not display thumbnails on the gallery page. Also the 3 column layout of gallery is broken and the lightbox does not work either.
    I have tried couple of other galleries (Envira, Modula etc.) and none of them works – they show no photos. Now there is foogallery installed again, please take a look. Could anyone please give me a hint why is this happening? I have never encountered anything like that. Thanks a lot in advance.

    hi,

    When you have issues like this (especially with multiple plugins) then always test with a built-in wordpress theme (eg. twentyfifteen). If it starts working with that theme then it means there is something wrong with the theme you were using. I have seen many custom themes that do not include wp_footer() in the code which stops a bunch of plugins from working.

    I had a look at you site and I could not find any foogallery assets included in the page

    hi, thank you very much for looking at this. There was indeed a problem with the template and including wp_footer() solved the problem.

    Now the gallery shows but Foobox does not work. It shows allright with twentyseventeen theme so again the problem must be in the theme I am using. I understand this is not a plugin issue but still any ideas what could be wrong would be very appreciated. Thank you.

    Foobox works now! I noticed there was also wp_head() missing in <head> section so I included that before </head> tag. Than I changed <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN”> to <!DOCTYPE HTML>. And that was it. I am not sure why the doctype matters in this case but I am so glad it works.

    So the cause of all this was poorly coded theme not including wp_head() and wp_footer(). And probably also old doctype.
