    I downgraded to the 1.160 version and the plugin works fine, so it’s something with the latest version.

    My site health reports no issues, I get errors in the main and home page of the plugin. I’ve used this plugin for years without issue and nothing has changed on my site so it’s something with the latest version. I also tried a full reset of the plugin and an reinstall.

    Thanks, would it be possible to make it only load urls from the sitemap instead of crawling the site? This seems like it would be much more efficient and it would hit every url I want warmed. Thanks!

    No, you know how wordpress generates a lot of different thumbnail sizes such as full, large, medium etc. MetaSlider uses the full image size, almost all galleries and plugins allow you to select a different thumbnail size such as large or medium for the images, but I can’t find a way to do that with MetaSlider. Thanks for the help.

    It’s too late for me, after hearing the gallery was now generated by Javascript and the I felt really poor initial response that you gave me, basically that it was the Photoswipe’s developers issue to get things working, and that I should just use your Lightbox (Which is really bad on iOS). I removed the plugin and won’t be reinstalling it. You should have said the above at the beginning. You can’t just go from a clean, compatible, html gallery to a Javascript generated gallery that breaks everything with just a simple version update and no warning. Just please don’t mess with PhotoEngine too much, I have been using that for probably 10 years and I need it for my site.

    Yes I can’t believe they went from a clean SEO friendly compatible plugin to one that loads the images with Javascript. This is exactly the opposite of the reason I used Meow Gallery in the first place, I liked that all the images were listed in the html of the page and just styled with css. They would load even if javascript was off, they would even work with native lazyload with no extra scripts. I’ve removed Meow Gallery from my site and cancelled my membership. I’ve just got a regular wordpress gallery now with some custom css, so many users come to my site on mobile a single column of images is good enough anyway. I do miss the carousel.

    Sorry I resolved the question above, there was an issue with my function that set default gallery shortcode parameters, it wasn’t doing link=”file” correctly.

    Thread Starter rsmith4321

    (@rsmith4321)

    Sorry to have to ask for support about this, but I’ve removed meow gallery and went back to a standard wordpress gallery shortcode with some custom css. I just can not figure out why I can’t get the Lightbox to work now on my default galleries. Everything looks correct but the Lightbox is just not attaching to the image links. You can see an example here https://www.ryansmithphotography.com/wedding-gallery/

    Thread Starter rsmith4321

    (@rsmith4321)

    Yes I’ve already cancelled my pro membership for Meow Gallery I’m quite upset they broke the plugin compatibility without warning. Also, generating a gallery with JavaScript seems not SEO friendly, but I don’t really know I haven’t looked into it in detail. I would use their Lightbox, but it truly is awful on iOS compared to Photoswipe. I will go back to just a standard WordPress gallery vs their plugin. The question is, why don’t you charge for your Lightbox? I’ve tried them all and yours is the best, I would pay for a pro version.

    The extra dashboard plugin is required to use any of the new features. I just don’t want analytics and a host of other bloat added just to use the link checker. It doesn’t really matter if you store the login, you have a direct connection into the site with the hub plugin. But I understand it’s free so it needs to be paid for somehow.

    Thread Starter rsmith4321

    (@rsmith4321)

    Never mind about this question. I realized I actually wanted to use the pro slider for a project I’m working on so I just switched to the pro version. I’m just curious why the javascript is so much larger for the gallery pro. I notice the extra javascript file it loads is 46kb. Perhaps in a future update you could make a way to disable some features to shrink this extra script a bit. Thanks for the help!

    Thread Starter rsmith4321

    (@rsmith4321)

    I actually fixed it myself in a way, looking at the minimized code it was too complicated for me to remove things, but I just changed the galleries.js to the following and it seems to work, I just know it will be changed back on plugin updates so I don’t know if there is a better solution.

    {"use strict";var o=e(849);e(958),e(415);var t=o.Z.right_click;console.log(o.Z),t&&document.querySelectorAll(".nothing").forEach((function(o){o.addEventListener("contextmenu",(function(o){o.preventDefault()}))}))})()})();

    Awesome, it seems to be working great. You definitely have the best Lightbox plugin now for WordPress.

    Thread Starter rsmith4321

    (@rsmith4321)

    I was testing the new version on iOS, and it does seem to work much better. Thanks for adding this option. I was wondering if you could eventually add an option to overlay the bottom caption over the image and have the image extend all the way to the bottom of the viewport. I was trying to do the with CSS but the way the image height and caption top location are set inline I’m assuming with javascript, I couldn’t figure out how to do it. Thanks!

    Thread Starter rsmith4321

    (@rsmith4321)

    That sounds great, yes I would like to beta test it if you could send me a link. Or can I just it from Github? I tested your example and you can drag the image even in desktop mode. I actually think just using arrows is probably less confusing for desktop users anyway. It’s mobile where people expect to swipe.
