Title: Lightroom not working Last modified: June 30, 2026 --- # Lightroom not working * [paviland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paviland/) * (@paviland) * [3 weeks, 2 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lightroom-not-working/) * Whilst one of my sites now works flawlessly after recent updates, I have issues with three other sites where Lightroom is not working. It fails to open Photo of the Day (in the Footer), Slideshow images and video. Moreover, it no longer displays the Gallery in 3 column format, though oddly does display sub-galleries correctly as 3 columns. * This occurs with Google Chrome, Edge and FireFox. The example given is for one of these websites but all sites have the following: * WordPress Version 7.0 Database Version MySQL 8.0.36PHP 8.3.31WP Photo Album Plus 9.2.03.001 * I have compared the site plugins for any pattern that might explain this, but deactivating those that are not in the working site makes no difference. Oddly, whilst comparing the contents of the wp-config.php files, I altered the permissions to match that for my working site and for a brief few minutes of testing, the Gallery display and Lightroom worked. * Can you please guide me as to what to try next. Thank you Jacob. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flightroom-not-working%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lightroom-not-working/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lightroom-not-working/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Jacob N.

Maybe a temporarely server issue? * Thread Starter [paviland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paviland/) * (@paviland) * [3 weeks, 1 day ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lightroom-not-working/#post-18953271) * Hmm.

It comes from the plugin **Compliance by Hu-manity.co** used to set cookie preferences. I have not reactivated it, just so you can see for yourself. Interestingly, the following site also uses this plugin … but wppa+ works flawlessly if you go to the Gallery or click on Photo of the day: [https://www.sunwheelgrove.co.uk/](https://www.sunwheelgrove.co.uk/) * Curiouser and curiouser!

Are there any difference in the settings of the Compliance plugin between the sites that has and has not the problem? * Thread Starter [paviland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paviland/) * (@paviland) * [2 weeks, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lightroom-not-working/#post-18956195) * Unfortunately, I do not see any differences. When I originally set them up, all settings were the same for each site and there were no problems. * Plugin Author [Jacob N. Breetvelt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/opajaap/) * (@opajaap) * [2 weeks, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lightroom-not-working/#post-18956340) * Can you change it back so that it shows the issue again? then i can pick up the wrong code from the pagesource to further investigate, and maybe ask the compliance people to chamge something * As soon i have it, i will inform you. * Thread Starter [paviland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paviland/) * (@paviland) * [2 weeks, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lightroom-not-working/#post-18956411) * Thank you for that.
