Hi ihaider,

This could be done, but since external PDFs can’t be WordPress attachments, you would need to put together some custom code to integrate with DG.

If this is something you or your team is interested in pursuing I can give you some more detailed pointers.

Hi tosok,

Yes, the pagination changed following that video to use WordPress’ built-in pagination logic. Using some custom CSS (entered at Dashboard -> Settings -> Document Gallery -> Custom CSS you can get close to the original look:

.document-gallery > .paginate > .page-numbers { display: none }
.document-gallery > .paginate > .prev, .document-gallery > .paginate > .next { display: inline }

Hi Joyce,

Could you do me a favor and temporarily disable all plugins (minus Document Gallery) and switch to a default WP theme? Once done, let’s see if the issue goes away. If it does, re-enable plugins & theme one-by-one until the issue comes back and you’ll know what’s causing the issue.

Hi themezz,

It sounds like you’ve got descriptions enabled. Assuming that’s the case, you’ll want to disable those to get multiple documents per row.

Hi bws999,

Unfortunately I can’t provide a definitive answer as to what went wrong. The best guess I can give is something got cached and the uninstall/reinstall purged the cache that had the wrong content.

If it stops working again, it would be interesting to know whether the DG shortcode is completely missing in what’s being shown or or if it is just not matching any documents (which would result in an empty space where the gallery should be. If it’s the latter, there would be an HTML comment when you viewed the source code.

But, saying all of that, there’s nothing I can think of to determine what’s happening until it happens again. Not the most helpful answer, I know :/

Hi architecb33,

You can definitely change the output of DG the way you describe with a little bit of PHP. You’ll want to setup a filter like the following (untested since I’m not at my dev computer right now, but should be close):

add_filter('dg_icon_template', 'dg_href_to_onclick');
function dg_href_to_onclick($icon, $use_descriptions, $id) {
    return preg_replace('<a [^>]*>', "<a onclick=\"window.open('%link%', '_system')\">", $icon);
}

Mmm… yes, that could definitely cause your problems!

Glad you got it sorted!
