Hi there,
My test site is here: http://smugmug.michael-allen.net/?p=1
The gallery shortcode I’ve used is as follows:
[gallery type='smugmug' view='tree' nick_name='https://giveitawhirl.smugmug.com' layout='square' caption='title-desc' thumb_size='Tiny' main_size='Largest' ]
I’d love to get this working as I’m wanting to migrate my old Flickr account over to SmugMug
Thanks for your help,
Michael

In reply to: [Awesome Flickr Gallery] Custom Image size not functioningI’ve been having this problem with custom image sizes for a month or two now. Initially blamed the hosting provider as nothing had changed (as far as I knew) with my site.
However, I’ve now tested it with three different hosting platforms (running both PHP5.3 and 5.2) with a clean WP 3.5 install on each and only AFG 3.3.3 plugin activated. Two out of the three hosts failed to show the custom sized thumbnails I’d specified.
Read on RonakG’s site a couple of threads where users had downgraded AFG to 3.2.4. I’ve now tried this and am happy to say all is now well with both of my websites and custom thumbnail sizes.
I’ve made no changes to my hosts standard folder permissions (though haven’t checked what they are either).
I can only conclude that with 3.2.4 working nicely, 3.3.x seems to have custom thumbnail sizing issues with certain hosting provider setups.
Hope that helps folks who are trying to get this to work.

In reply to: [Image Store] [Plugin: Image Store] 3.0.0 is a step backwardHi Hax,
I have more information for you.
I’ve installed a brand new WordPress test site with nothing but the sample data that ships with WordPress.
I then added the latest version of the Image Store plugin.
Next, I created a gallery with a sample image in it.
With this most basic of installations, I then set about changing the Templates in the Image Store settings for both Albums and Galleries to see if I could use the Default (full width) and Sidebar (two column) templates supplied with the standard WordPress Twenty Eleven theme.
The settings had no effect whatsoever and Image Store continued to display the same template regardless of the setting.
As I observed this on a completely new WordPress installation I’d have to conclude that my live site’s theme and plugins are not causing any problems and that the failure setting the template in the Image Store config must be in the Image Store itself.
I hope this helps resolve the problem.
Thanks,
M

In reply to: [Image Store] [Plugin: Image Store] 3.0.0 is a step backwardHi Hax,
Any news on the template issue I (and others) are getting? I’ve bitten the bullet and installed 3.0.2 so I can give you a link to the page to see the problem I’m getting.
http://michael-allen.co.uk/galleries/gallery-722/
Basically, no matter what I seem to do (change the settings, follow your sample template instructions above or this guy: http://xparkmedia.com/support/topic/many-bugs-in-latest-version-here-they-are/) I cannot get rid of the date row and sidebar from the page.
Any help much appreciated as I need this running in the next few weeks. I’d rather use v3.0.x but may have to fall back to v2.2.2 despite that version giving me problems elsewhere on the site.
Looking forward to your reply…

In reply to: [Image Store] [Plugin: Image Store] 3.0.0 is a step backwardHi Hax,
Thanks for v3.0.1, that sorts out the lightbox issue.
I (and others it would seem) still have two unresolved issues with v3 though. As per my original post, changing various classes has scuppered my styling from 2.2.2 but it’s not the end of the world for me to attempt to restyle. I’m NOT a web developer, so this is quite a big job for me to do but one that is at least achievable.
However, the template issue is something else entirely. Basically, no matter what settings I apply in Image Store it uses the same template from my theme that is intended for the Blog and as such has a sidebar down the righthand side which I don’t want in my image store.
I really need this fixing and am quite happy to have a go myself (I resolved a missing bit of SQL in the last version myself) but I need a clue as to where to start looking.
Better if you fixed it though…
Thanks,
M

In reply to: [Image Store] [Plugin: Image Store] 3.0.0 is a step backwardHi Hax,
Still no joy with the page templates. No matter what I try it still uses a template with a sidebar from my blog pages.
I found the theme folder as you directed, I copied the file and made modification to my theme to pick up the new templates. Then specified the new files in the Image Store, General settings for template to use and still nothing.
It would seem that no matter what I choose on this settings page, it has no effect whatsoever.
I’m going to have to give up with v3.0 and go back to v2.2.2.
Hope this is fixed soon…

In reply to: [Image Store] [Plugin: Image Store] 3.0.0 is a step backwardUpdate – I can’t find a “Templates” folder in the plugin download. Please can you advise?

In reply to: [Image Store] [Plugin: Image Store] 3.0.0 is a step backwardHi Hax,
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
On point 1.), I did change the Album Template on the Settings > General page but it did not seem to have any affect. Are there any instructions for using the sample templates you mention that are available?
2.) thanks, I’ll give that a go.
3.) OK… I guess I’ve got a bigger job ahead of me, but at least if I use my own styles completely I won’t run the risk of it coming apart on me during updates.
Looking forward to using 3.0…

In reply to: [JetPack – Twitter] Twitter stuck in errorI’m getting the same across all the sites I run. I’ve not yet tried installing a vanilla site on my host and then just Jetpack to see if I get the same problem but the following WordPress.com forum thread would seem to place the problem at Twitter’s end.
I’ve tried another couple of Twitter plugins and they all have the same problem – not getting anything from Twitter.
Hope this helps…

In reply to: Moving WordPress – ProblemsThanks all for your suggestions, do appreciate them.
To threestyler, I did try each of your suggestions but unfortunately without success.
However, I’ve now managed to get this working myself so have marked this post as resolved. For anyone else finding similar problems, and for what it’s worth, here’s what I ended up doing:
1.) Created a new WordPress installation where I wanted it.
2.) Copied all my site data over the top of the new installtion EXCEPT wp_config.php.
3.) Using phpMyAdmin, backed up my original sites database adding the option to drop tables etc.
4.) Textedited the SQL file doing a search and replace for the old URL and replacing it with the new one.
5.) Using phpMyAdmin, imported the edited SQL file to the new WordPress installation.I think that was everything, and now all is well.

In reply to: Moving WordPress – ProblemsSo what am I doing wrong?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Moving WordPress – ProblemsOK, I’ve tried again and same results white screen in every browser I try both for the front and backend.
I’ve followed the “Moving WordPress within your site” from this document: http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress and cannot get it to work at all. I have to ask the question – are these instructions correct?
Any help much appreciated…
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Moving WordPress – ProblemsYes, both front & backend are inaccessible with just a white screen. Thanks for the suggestions, I’m going to give it another go this weekend and post back if I’m still unable to move the site.

In reply to: [Plugin: Flickr Gallery] Authentication Token problemJust tried a brand new Flickr account, API key and secret. The same thing happens – the “Done Authenticating at Flickr” link doesn’t work but when opened in a new window this is the message:
“An external application has requested your login credentials and permission to perform certain actions on your behalf, but has failed to include all the required data.
You don’t really need to know what this means, except that you can’t use the application until this problem is fixed. (It’s a third-party problem, not a Flickr problem.)
There are lots of applications using the Flickr API. If you are curious about this, visit the Flickr Services page to see more examples of cool stuff. Otherwise, you might like to head to your home page…”
Any help appreciated!
