Thank you for feed back, there are some solutions:
- You can deactivate the share symbol in the SSG plugin configuration – first tab: Display social share icons
- The gallery thumbnails are fully managed by WordPress, Story Show Gallery is just the lightbox which is displayed when you click on the thumbnail. You can use some other plugin to create thumbnails the way you want.
- Deactivate SSG for particular gallery might be tricky, if you use the Gutenberg editor. You have to click on the right place, to select the gallery. When there is a border around all thumbnails, then you have selected the gallery and you can set nossg class to it.
- Whether the deep link opens on the new page depends on the link parameter, it can’t have the parameter target=”_blank”. https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_target.asp
For deeplinking within the same page is better to use class ssglink – it is described here – https://roman-flossler.github.io/StoryShowGallery/#classes - The gallery always initially loads only the first three images. When a user scrolls down on the second image, the fourth image is loaded. And so on. SSG never initially loads all images, it would be would be crazy.
I am closing this thread. You can try to deactivate one plugin after another, to find out which one is in conflict with Story Show Gallery.
Hi,
Good idea, but swiping down and up is used for fast scrolling through the gallery. In landscape mode fast scrolling doesn’t work on iPhones, because iOS doesn’t support fullscreen mode.
Hi, I looked at your site and it seems that there may be a conflict with another script.

Hello,
Story Show Gallery tries to avoid image galleries created by other plugins. But you can deactivate this behaviour in the System tab. It is choice labeled as “If you uncheck this, SSG gallery will try to override lightbox from other WordPress gallery plugins.”
I planning to add class which will have priority.
Otherwise SSG takes into account every image hypelink on the page. The image itself (thumbnail) isn’t so important, the important part is the hyperlink which points to some large image. That large image will be displayed inside SSG lightbox.
It means something like this has to be in the source code:
<a href='BigImage.jpg'> <img src='thumbnail.jpg'> </a>or just
<a href='BigImage.jpg'> text link to image </a>.- This reply was modified 4 years, 4 months ago by Roman Flössler.

Hi. Unfortunately that is a matter of Facebook. FB takes a preview photo from the page (from the meta tag og:image), it is not possible to set particular photo in the share link :-(.
But there is one thing you can do. If you set featured image of the article (in the WP editor), the og:image meta tag should point to that image. If it doesn’t point, there are social sharing plugins for it. Before each sharing on Facebook, you will have to set the featured image to the image you want (it will alter og:image metatag). And Facebook will show the image you have set. There is no other way.
FB should not load jpg file, because SSG gallery is setting the url adress of the page with hashatag with image name. There might be problem with metatags, if they are set to the first image and not to url of the page. Maybe try some other social sharing plugin, which can alter OpenGraph metatags in the right way. Social sharing of your page on Facebook is directed by those metatags. I use plugin Open Graph Meta Tags for that.
Hi, thans for the superb review.
As I wrote you in the email, it is possible to remove SSG logo via CSS.
Story Show Gallery uses standard WordPress Gallery, so all the thumbnails issues are a matter of the WP gallery.
But you can use some other gallery block plugin for creating thumbnails. If the plugin is able to link thumbnails directly to images (“Link to Media file” option in WP gallery), it should work toghether with Story Show Gallery.
