Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Document Gallery
A: In the WordPress Block Editor, click the '+' button to add a new block and search for "Document Gallery". Once inserted, you'll see a preview of your gallery. Click on the block to access the settings panel on the right side, where you can configure: Limit to Current Post - Toggle to show only attachments from this post or all attachments Columns, Order, Descriptions - Control gallery layout and appearance
The gallery updates in real-time as you adjust settings. No document selection is required if you want to show all attachments matching your criteria. Q: I'm using taxonomies, but nothing is showing up in my gallery A: Remember that Document Gallery defaults to retrieving just attachments for the current post/page. If you want a broader scope of attachments, you'll also need tell Document Gallery to search everywhere like so: [dg id=-1 category="My Awesome Category"]. Q: Ghostscript is installed on my server, but it's not working! A: Document Gallery does a pretty good job of detecting where Ghostscript is installed, but on some installs it may need a little help. To check whether this is the case, navigate to Dashboard -> Settings -> Document Gallery and see if there is a notice next to the Ghostscript checkbox indicating that your server is not properly configured. If that notice does exist, the next step is to go to the Advanced tab on that same page and see if the Ghostscript path is set. If it is not, you'll need to manually fill it with the location for your Ghostscript install (eg: /usr/local/bin/gs). Once that change is saved, the Ghostscript checkbox should be enabled on the first tab.
A: Assuming that you do not have the columns attribute set to 1, the likely cause of this behavior is that descriptions are enabled. To fix this, simply add descriptions=false (eg: [dg descriptions=false]).
A: Document Gallery works very hard behind the scenes to ensure that it enables as much as is possible for any given server, but some servers just can't do some of the things that the plugin supports. Document Gallery detects when a server can't do something (run Ghostscript, for example) and disables that option. If you later modify your server to handle one of the thumbnail generation methods,
though you will need to go in and tell Document Gallery that it should use this newly-enabled method.
A: This comes down to how the two programs work. Imagick actually delegates handling of PDFs to Ghostscript behind the scenes, but it doesn't do so intelligently. Before passing off the PDF, it first reads the entire contents of the PDF into memory. Since we only need a single page to generate the thumbnail, this is much more work than is needed. Ghostscript, on the other hand,
returning our thumbnail.
