Hi @leapedalea,
Actually, I don’t understand the issue 🙂 You mean you already have the standard gallery shortcodes, but that when it is empty, the Meow Gallery breaks? I would love to help but I need to understand a bit.
That said, yes, the Meow Gallery does override the standard gallery. I could write an option so that it does its own shortcode (it actually has its own too), but it was meant to replace easily the default one.
The default behaviour for the WP gallery shortcode is that in abscence of ID’s, it picks every image uploaded to that post. So [gallery] (just like that) in fact does print out a gallery for a lot of my posts. But your [gallery] doesn’t, because it doesn’t replicate this behaviour.
I think it’s be better that it could be optional to use the same shortcode, because I want my old galleries to remain the same.

Actually, I have to admit I didn’t know that 🙂

That’s a bit difficult to change the default shortcode, as it it supposed to replace the defaults gallery when active.
I just released a new version of the plugin that does exactly what you say, and use the attached media entries when the gallery is empty. I hope that will fix the issue 🙂
Thanks for the quick response! (and sorry for the lateness of mine).
But I’m still seing “Meow Gallery: The gallery is empty.” when I’m using [gallery]
Are you sure the Media entries are attached to that post? How do you attach those entries to the post exactly? I just want to make sure.
This new version really works with Media entries attached to the post, which is represented by the “Uploaded To” column in the Media Library.
