 * Hello, have issue similar to this: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-only-loads-on-window-resize/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-only-loads-on-window-resize/),
   however, for me changing to JS rendering does not help.
 * In fact nothing helps, tried various options and still photonic randomly fails
   to render. I am using wordpress uploaded photos and Astra theme.
 * Resizing winow helps. Was trying to disable catche plugins etc, nothing helped.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fphotonic-gallery-randomly-not-rendering%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Your gallery took a long time to show up, but the culprit wasn’t Photonic. A 
   number of your photos are coming up with a “502” error (“Bad gateway”), which
   indicates an issue on your hosting server. Photonic waits for the photos to come
   in before it starts loading, which is what is causing the issue.
