That causes a different version of the page to be loaded, one with a different language and a different url. The same WP Photo Album Plus shortcode is in each version of the page. * I thought that when I changed the language while a slide show was running that the slideshow would stop (because I’m opening a different page) and the shortcode in the new page would cause a new slideshow to start, taking the locale of the new page. It seems that either the original slideshow keeps running or, if a new slideshow is started by the new page, it uses the locale set by the first page. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Photo Album Plus] Creating an album](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-an-album/) * [Philstix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philstix/) * (@philstix) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-an-album/#post-3227352) * A positive but confusing update: after spending about 8 hours installing, activating, testing, deactivating and uninstalling several dozen other WordPress gallery plugins, I tried reactivating WP Photo Album Plus (I never uninstalled it, just in case) and suddenly it is working. * I have no idea what may have fixed the problem, but now that I’ve been able to test it I can confirm that it is exactly what I am after. Thank you for doing such a great job with this plugin. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Photo Album Plus] Creating an album](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-an-album/) * [Philstix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philstix/) * (@philstix) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-an-album/#post-3227351) * I already am Administrator/Super Administrator of the site, and I have activated the plugin. * It is a multilingual site using qTranslate, and I am controlling admin access using AWM Access Manager (which converts the site to multisite for permissions purposes – that’s why I am SuperAdmin). * There are no errors displayed and no errors in the log files. If it’s any consolation, several other gallery plugins also do not work on my site, so it may be a conflict with other plugins. Most of gallery plugins that I’ve tried do work, they just don’t do what I want. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Photo Album Plus] Creating an album](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-an-album/) * [Philstix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philstix/) * (@philstix) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-an-album/#post-3227348) * I am having the same problem as Daniel Haugen. I am SuperAdmin for the site. * I’m trying to set up my first WordPress site and create a photo slideshow. * There is no ‘Photo Albums’ menu item anywhere. Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total)
