    Hi Darren,

    Yes, that’s right regarding all products being set up as an affiliate product.

    This all sounds great!

    Yes, it’s easy enough to edit manually, so I will just do that until it’s possibly changed in the future. Thanks for the help! Appreciate that!

    Thank you! The issue was actually with Showit, my website provider. Thanks for the help, I did do what you suggested just to force any changes

    @vanyukov Thank you! I have implemented the change and have started the validation process on GSC which in my experience can take a few days. Will report back if the issues persist. Thank you!

    Thank you, Weston! I did add that, but it comes back with the following error: https://prnt.sc/qgvnji (and when added to the top https://prnt.sc/qgvowh) probably because it’s a Showit website which uses WordPress integration for blog. But that’s a guess. I can’t really afford to keep waiting indefinitely for the rankings to go back up on that post, as this is the time of year people are searching for that topic, and I’ll need to get those clients. I’ll communicate with Showit to see if they can add that code. Thanks, you’re the best – appreciate the speedy reply.

    Thank you! I also approached my Theme company, Flothemes at the same time I wrote this post (did not know if was a WordPress issue of a Theme issue). They quickly responded that I needed to activate a plug-in called Really Simple SSL, which I had recently deactivated for some reason. As soon as I activated it again, the little button saved perfectly! Thank you!

    Hi,

    As I never heard back from you on this, I deleted the plug-in and gallery.

    I found a different solution due to incompatibility with my website’s existing theme and plug-ins, even with the new plug-in from the Dropbox link.

    This also didn’t retain the actual image ratios of the original images, so images would need to be cropped in the gallery view, which wasn’t what I wanted (and conflicted anyway).

    Thanks anyway.

    Thanks so much Mihaela! I’ve installed the new plugin but sadly it didn’t work right, I think due to the conflicts with many other plug-ins and the them itself which is built on so many plugins.

    First when installing I got this message on wordpress dash: http://prntscr.com/kp6veu

    Then I installed, everything looked good and I chose my options on the back end: http://prntscr.com/kp6xdt

    But the finished webpage [https://zoelarkin.com/weddings/] looks not so good, with some text across the top, and no ability to scroll through images, images do not pop up on a lightbox even though it was selected, there are not 2 columns as I had selected, it isn’t the way it’s supposed to be: http://prntscr.com/kp6ytz

    I don’t think Modula is going to be compatible with all my other plug-ins that run my website. I have used so many plug-ins to make the inexpensive theme look better than it was out of the box.

    Thanks for your help but I think I will have to look at a completely different solution, not using a plugin at all. Unless you have any other suggestions! Gratefully received! Thanks.

    Hi Mihaela,

    Thanks so much for your help! Before I have even gotten to number 4 on your list, I would like to get your opinion on some issues I’m having with number 3 – the ‘cropping of images so that they fill up the available space’.

    I’m a wedding photographer and it’s important that my images in the grid look the same as they do on their own. That is, I do not want images that are vertical being shown as horizontal, as happens here: http://prntscr.com/koqepq (I prepared that on Photoshop to show you).

    So the thumbnail needs to be just a smaller version of the same image – not cropped differently.

    Is there a way of turning off that ability (as you mention- the algorithm) for photographers so that the images shown in the masonry layout are the exact same as the images on their own – not cropped in any way?

    If this can’t be turned off (as a paid user, and am happy to pay), then that’s a deal-breaker and Modula will not be for me 🙁

    Yay @judgerookie, you’re a genius!!! It worked! Thank you so much for understanding, bearing with me and being able to solve this problem! I just uploaded one test image and just like that, right off the bat it said full size, not medium.

    Thread Starter zoes0702

    Thank you @judgerookie for taking the time, yes you’ve got the correct gist of it. Screenshot link attached.

    What I’m asking is that there is a way of making this default be “full size” like it used to be, instead of Medium when I go to grab an image (either upload it from my PC or retrieve from the Media Library) and insert it into a post or page, without having to take the extra step of hopping to Medium in the drop-down, past Large then to Full Size, which can only be done individually I think… on every. single. picture!

    When adding 30 pictures, and bulk selecting them all (I’ve shown bulk-selecting of the top row in the screenshot) this gets time-consuming when you have to individually change the size of each and every one from Medium to Full Size, and also increases the chances of an error – missing one by mistake and having this one be a tiny 300px or whatever image.

    Full Size is how I want my (many) images to display a large proportion of the time but I still want the occasional option of being able to choose Medium.

    Hi sinip,

    Right, this is new information to me, that I need to create the link I’m redirecting TO on my new website. Thanks for that. Funny, nowhere in the step-by-step guides for dummies, does it mention this.

    I’ve changed a few things now.

    The .htaccess of my OLD website is:

    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php56 .php .php5 .php4 .php3
    
    # BEGIN 301 Redirects
    
    Redirect 301 /2016/12/23/photographing-the-bay-bridge-san-francisco// http://www.zoelarkin.com/photographing-the-bay-bridge-san-francisco/
    
    Redirect 301 /2016/12/08/the-joy-of-oakland-oaklandloveit// http://www.zoelarkin.com/the-joy-of-oakland-oaklandloveit/
    
    Redirect 301 /2017/03/31/simple-text-post// http://zoelarkin.com/simple-text-post/
    
    # END 301 Redirects

    The .htaccess of my NEW website is now

    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php56 .php .php5 .php4 .php3

    I had some redirection links in the new site from when I was figuring things out, but I’ve taken them out now because they were in there erroneously, whoops.

    Unfortunately, having now created the new links on my new website following your advice, I still can’t see my old content
