Galleries, Thumbnails and Lightbox issue

[ro1and]

Hi, I’m attempting to display image galleries containing up to 500 photos each. I’ve tried multiple methods an all lead to the same result: Only what is loaded onto that initial page show in the theme’s lightbox (I use a “Load More” button as some of these galleries contain 500+ images). For example, I have it set to load 35 thumbnails masonry style, then a load more button to load more. After more load, any of the freshly loaded images I click on do not open in a lightbox, but a new page. I tried loading all thumbnails as a test and the lightbox displays them all, and works as it should but, as you can imagine the page-load time is unacceptable. Any ideas? Thank you!

What support service includes ? What not ?

Apologies, after deleting Nextgen Gallery (Nothing but issues with that mess of a plugin) I had to re-save my permalink structure as all my links were 404s…. Please visit the said link again, I truly appreciate any help with this one, Radu!

The issue seems to come from the gallery plugin that you’re using.
This happens because after you come and load additional content in the gallery ( when hitting load more button ), the plugin should also re-initiate the popup script in order to accept the new content.

You should contact that plugin author or if you have programming skills, make sure that after the load more action is complete, you also re-initiate your lightbox script.

Cheers

Thanks for the explanation Andrei. Being the case, can you recommend any other way, or plugin to display a large number of photos? Thanks again for your time.

Could the answer be in this area of the plugin’s admin (see screenshot)? Any direction would be extremely helpful. Thanks guys.

Yes, I think you might resolve your issue with the last option from that page, called “Endless scroll”. You will probably put the class of the link which wraps each of your image from the gallery.

You should better ask the author of that plugin for some guidance of how to use that option with your gallery.

Am unable to figure this out but thanks just the same for helping out. This hasn’t been an issue with any previous themes so I’m guessing it’s a theme conflict somewhere.

Could you please set your gallery again how it was and provide me credentials to your wp admin area. I’m sure it’s a simple setting that you missed out.

Good news,

I managed to fix your issue by adding the following js in your gallery page, using visual composer “Raw JS” element.
Is not the best solution, but it works in your case, so if you’ll make more pages using Awesome Gallery, then you’ll have to add this js to each of your gallery page.

Cheers

COPY CODE

<script>
function refreshMagnific(){
	jQuery('a.asg-lightbox').magnificPopup({
		type: 'image',
		mainClass: 'asg-lightbox',
		gallery:{
		enabled: true
		}
	});
}
setInterval(refreshMagnific, 100);
</script>

Andrei, you’re a genius sir! Thanks so much for the fix. Obviously way outside of the normal support provided with a theme and I truly appreciate that! 😀 I’ll add the script to the remaining photo pages and make sure all’s OK. Again, thanks!
