Hi – I think I may be doing something wrong, but with no help guide it is very hard to get this plugin working.
I am using latest version of plugin and WP.
I have installed the plugin and added a gallery, and uploaded images to the gallery. I then went to the ‘image Store’ page and added the shortcode for the gallery as:
[ims-gallery id=U0m7RZDTDYnP layout=lightbox number=all linkto=file]
I added this using the wysiwyg editor and put it underneath the image store short code.
Absolutely nothing appears on the image store page when I preview it, other than the title and the usual features for the theme (I am trialling using twentytwelve theme supplied with WP).
The widget works fine in the sidebar, and previewing the gallery from within the gallery editor seems to work. Getting anything meaningful on the image store page seems not to work.
Please – some simple, step by step instructions that I can follow would be great!
I am confused about Albums, too. Are these just tags? Do I need to tag images to an album and then add albums to galleries? If so, how? Can galleries have more than one album?
I am afraid the help files and support from the web site are ‘thin’ at best. I see others have struggled and some have even come back and posted that they have ‘solved’ it. Why on earth did they not say how…?
Please help!!
When you create a gallery each gallery has it own url, you can view the gallery just by clicking the view gallery button.
The sort-code is to just to display the images if you want to display them within other content type (posts). You can view the sort-code guide here
Can you also provide a link to your site to see if there is an issue, and what other plugins are you using?
Albums and tags work just like “categories” and “tags” for post, and these are optional.
Also check if you are creating secure galleries, secure galleries will not display on the store page unless you change the sort-code.
