    Another bit of information for anyone else having this problem…

    In the 2010 theme it says this:

    /*
    * Always have wp_head() just before the closing </head>
    * tag of your theme, or you will break many plugins, which
    * generally use this hook to add elements to <head> such
    * as styles, scripts, and meta tags.
    */
    wp_head();

    and a similar warning in the footer. This is the problem. Many themes do not observe this warning and WPL has lots of problems with it. Fortunately it is a very easy fix if you know about it, simply move the wp_head and foot to the right spot and things should work.

    This might be obvious, but if not, finding it here might save someone some time and frustration.

    Well, turning off other plug-ins and doing a fresh install didn’t help at all.

    But, the themes seem to be another matter. Some themes seem to work while others do not. So far I can’t see any pattern to it, but it is good to see it can be made to work… now the question is how…

    Thanks for the pointer.

    Is there a list of known working themes? Or a list of things to check for compatibility?

    I suppose the specific question is answered “a thumbnail view for property gallery”… but I wanted to share what I learned about the causes.

    Apparently WPL uses a plugin JQuery called “box slider” from here:
    http://bxslider.com/

    Where it seems to work. On my site it doesn’t. So, instead of appearing in a box intended to look like a mobile screen I get a string of images one after the other in a giant column. Scrolling down through 20 or so images brings me to the bx-pager which seems to appear in a random location. BUT, it isn’t random.

    What happens is that the frontend.css file sets the bottom attribute at 5% which probably looks OK on one picture, but by the time I’m up to 20 it is actually floating up above the last picture. To test I tried to over-ride the frontend.css but the instructions here:

    https://support.realtyna.com/index.php?/Default/Knowledgebase/Article/View/549/

    Didn’t work. I think because of the ambiguity in the path descriptions there. I put it in wplhtml/assets/css/frontend.css which is the way it appears in the orginal but no luck. Then I went to frontend.css itself and changed 5% to 5 px. and it moved back down where it belongs.

    So, in a way it is a bug and shouldn’t have been 5% probably because that causes an ungraceful failure when boxslider doesn’t work, but this wouldn’t matter IF boxslider worked in the first place.

    Overall, I’m getting the impression that js and jquery calls made by WPL on my site just don’t work and that is actually causing many of the other problems.

    So, I’ll leave this here for others who may run into the bx-pager problem and make a new request about js and jquery not working.

    Thanks.

    I don’t know. I think there was some user error involved. I went back and set it all up again, now it works with either setting as long as I tag the image and make the tag on the image match the name of the category.

    I’m sorry. I don’t know what in the world I did. I’m guessing maybe the tag wasn’t matching the category name exactly.

    Is there any way to assign a tag to most or all of a gallery at once without typing (or pasting) into each tag field?

    Thanks very much. You’ve done amazing work with this plug in, and provide better support than most commercial software.

    OK, thanks again, but it doesn’t seem to be working like that on my instalation. I must be doing something wrong.

    I have a post called Test, it is in the category “Wildlife” and I have a picture in a gallery tagged “Wildlife” but it doesn’t show up. In another post I’ve done the same thing but instead of putting the post in the category “Wildlife” I tagged it “Wildlife” and it came right up.

    I can just use the tags I guess, but it isn’t as convenient. Also, is there a way to automatically have it assign a tag to all the images in a particular gallery?

    The support is very much appreciated. Thanks much.

    Thanks for the reply. If I understand you correctly then, you are saying that the category match feature is only for older versions of Word Press which don’t have tags?

    Thanks.
