Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about jAlbum Bridge

You don't have to add the images to the WordPress Media collection. Simply use the jAlbum application—which runs on any PC—to create and upload albums separately from WordPress. I can't see the settings (inspector) Click the three dots in the block's header and click Show Block Settings, or press CTRL-SHIFT—[,] to toggle!

First, you create an album using the jAlbum application. See short instructions here →. Upload to a separate (static) folder in your server's root, e.g., /albums. Make sure to avoid naming conflicts with existing WordPress posts. If you already have a post (page) called "album" and you create a folder at the site root called "album", they might interfere, and instead of the post, the visitors will only see the contents of the static folder. Open a WordPress post (or page) and use the jAlbum box button to insert or edit a projector. Provide the URL to the album, e.g., /albums/Event1, and set the projector Type and other settings. Once finished, click "Update" to actualize the post.

You can use either "absolute" (e.g., http://your-site-here.com/album/Travel) or "site root relative" addresses (e.g. /album/Travel).

Yes, you can. However, you'll have to have access rights to the album's server. It's called "Cross-Origin Resource Sharing" (CORS), and can be controlled many ways, e.g. through the .htaccess file in the site root. For example, adding Header add Access-Control-Allow-Origin "http://www.your-site-here.com/" allows file access from the mentioned site. Once you already allowed access to "*" (any site) you don't have to do anything more.

This error message means there's either no tree.json (album database) in the given folder, or the server does not allow to access it. Check the following: Check if the album's output directory (Ctrl-Shift-O) in jAlbum contains tree.json. If not, choose a skin that supports JSON output (Tiger, Photoblogger, Responsive) or turn on the Settings / Advanced / Generate JSON data option. Make + Upload again. Check the Developer tools (F12 in Chrome) for the error. If it says "Cross Domain Access Denied" you'll have to set proper CORS policies on the other site (see above), or if it's on the same site make sure to use the same absolute URL format (with or withour "www" for example), or use the site root relative format, e.g. /album/Travel. If the browser complains about "Mixed content" that means the WordPress page runs under secure (https:) protocol, while the album comes from an "unsecured" server. Ensure the album's site has "https:" certification or move the album to the same server as the WordPress page. If none of the above happens your (album) server might not support "JSON" files by default. You might need to add application/json to the known MIME types on your server. By default Apache servers used to be configured properly, but most IIS servers need this modification.
