* Our site is http not https. Unfortunately google returns https as the link. Loading
as https causes foogalleries to ignore the css `.fg-justified {position: relative}`
and the gallery floats to the top left in some browsers. Not mine so it’s hard
to troubleshoot this. None of the other css seems to be affected.
* Loading as https causes no other problems that I’m aware of.
* I’ve added !important to the justified css in the gallery settings currently
on the front page `[foogallery id="104085"]` but I don’t know if it’s having
any effect as I’m relying on users to report back.
* Screenshot: [http://carnethy.com/screenshot/](http://carnethy.com/screenshot/)
* Is there anything I can do to solve this? I would like it to load as https without
this problem.

* I note in page source that when loading the site in https the stylesheet link
is http –

* And when loading the http site the stylesheet link is https

* But I don’t know what this might mean, if anything.

* User reports that my ‘fix’ of adding `.fg-justified {position: relative !important;}`
to the custom css of the gallery has fixed the problem but this is just a hack.
I don’t want to go back through all the galleries adding this in. Nor do I want
to add it to the overall settings as they are added as a stylesheet and not inserted
into the page source.

* Hi [@digbymaass](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digbymaass/)
* Thanks for getting back to us.
* First of all, I want to start by clarifying that loading the page as HTTP instead
of HTTPS isn’t the cause of this issue. This is because, just by using the developer
tools, I can see that the FooGallery scripts – both CSS sheet and JS script –
have been properly loaded as HTTP.
* Now looking at the gallery pages you’ve shared with me, the first one actually
has one gallery created with FooGallery whose layout looks like it is properly
displayed, while the other looks to have been created using either another gallery
plugin or by an in-built gallery builder that came with the theme.
* Also, for the fix you added, it shouldn’t have any effect since there’s a similar
style in the FooGallery CSS sheets that sets the position of the gallery to “
relative” by default. You can even use the Developer tools in your browser and
you’ll see it rendered.
* If possible, could you kindly create a test page with one or two galleries created
using FooGallery that are exhibiting the issue you described so that we can be
able to carry out further analysis before we can advise on this? Thanks in advance
for doing so.
* Kind regards,
Elvis.

* . I’ve shared a screenshot page and a link to the post containing the foogallery.
Any other galleries you can see on the main news page are native WP galleries.
* The post containing a foogallery – [http://carnethy.com/2022/10/manor-water-photos/](http://carnethy.com/2022/10/manor-water-photos/)
* As you can see from the screenshot page [http://carnethy.com/screenshot/](http://carnethy.com/screenshot/)
foogallery loads the opposite as I said previously. All other plugins load stylesheets
appropriate to http or https. As you say, the javascript loads the correct version
for http or https.
* The fix I added does have an effect as it is not loaded as a stylesheet but is
inserted directly into the page source/
* Only a very few browsers are displaying the fault so if yours aren’t, it makes
it difficult to reproduce. However you can see the screenshot of our user’s browser
where you can see the gallery floating to the top left.

> Firefox 103.0.2 (64-bit) > > arch linux 5.19.2-arch1-1 Another user with the
same issue uses chrome, but I have no further details.

* Hi [@digbymaass](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digbymaass/)
* First, to clarify what I meant by the part of the message you highlighted, when
I loaded the page you shared with us ([http://carnethy.com/](http://carnethy.com/))
I saw a number of Galleries, and only one of them (this one: [https://prnt.sc/QNrbiuhoAZWo](https://prnt.sc/QNrbiuhoAZWo))
was created using FooGallery. Thanks for clarifying that the rest were created
using the native WordPress gallery builder.
* Secondly, thanks for the extra info about the browser and OS you are using. On
my end, I have tested the same page you’ve shared ([http://carnethy.com/2022/10/manor-water-photos/](http://carnethy.com/2022/10/manor-water-photos/))
on the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, and Safari on both Windows 11 and
MacOs Ventura, and here are some screenshots to show you the results:
* Windows Chrome: [https://prnt.sc/uXH2j-AjfQsa](https://prnt.sc/uXH2j-AjfQsa)
Mac Chome: [https://prnt.sc/NKbXchHuz8nI](https://prnt.sc/NKbXchHuz8nI)
* Windows Firefox: [https://prnt.sc/YVOmSqh4KMDp](https://prnt.sc/YVOmSqh4KMDp)
Mac Firefox: [https://prnt.sc/HWClz8VRUotg](https://prnt.sc/HWClz8VRUotg)
* Safari: [https://prnt.sc/BrL-IWDCrt1U](https://prnt.sc/BrL-IWDCrt1U)
* As you can see from the screenshots shared above, the galleries are loaded perfectly
and do not look like the one in the screenshot you shared with us ([http://carnethy.com/screenshot/](http://carnethy.com/screenshot/))
* From this, I believe the issue may be happening because of the platform you are
using. Just to confirm this, could you kindly test this on a Windows,Mac or even
a mobile device to see if you’ll still make the saame observations as before?
Thanks in advance for doing so.
* Kindly let me know what yoor observations will be.
* Kind regards,
Elvis.

* I see that all your examples were loaded as http. Since the problem happens when
loading as https it’s not surprising that all of them loaded fine. However even
if you had used https my fix would have ensured they loaded fine.
* I’ve added a gallery **without** my fix to the screengrab page. Load it as https
[screenshot page](https://carnethy.com/screenshot) and see if the gallery misbehaves.
Something I should have thought of sooner!
* For the first time my own firefox (78.15.0esr (64-bit) mac OS El Captitan) is
displaying the error. Loading as https the gallery is floating top left. Loading
as http it’s fine.
* I’ve had reports from 2 users as I said before.

* I’ve asked the second user for more details but no reply so far.
* Both users reported that changing back to http solved the issue (prior to my
fix solving it for https).
* Have anoher look at the [screenshot page](http://carnethy.com/screenshot) and
see how foogallery is loading the stylesheet opposite to the http/https request(
screengrabs of page source).
* I see from the support forum that others have a similar issue. Could they be
related?

* I see my chrome – Version 103.0.5060.134 (Official Build) (x86_64) OS X 10.11.
is now showing the error too. Perhaps caches have cleared.
