Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about PiwigoPress

Just have the URL without the /index.php? on the end. Just have recent pictures in the gallery. Change Since X months (0=all) from 12 to 0 Set "Number of pictures (0=none)" to 1 or 2 If it doesn't work, see the provided screenshots...

In your gallery admin pages, find Configuration and there select: Options > Photo sizes > Multiple size > show details

maybe you should try to upgrade your gallery to Piwigo 2.4.x or above. See screenshots

If Album = 0 the link will remain to the picture page. Otherwise, if Number of pictures > 0 the first picture will link the Album page, next pictures will refer to their picture page.

Picture is going to have a link to its most recent Album page (Upcoming releases should cover other cases).

Message is "No available public picture or Piwigo release < 2.4.x" (Won't be translated) Disconnect you from the gallery and try to access to any Albums, maybe all pictures are locked or private Second possible cause: Old piwigo release. Only recent releases (2.4 and above) provide several picture sizes. Backward compatibility below Piwigo 2.4 is limited to Widget sidebar functions

Since images are generated in the following way: ``` <div class="PWGP_shortcode "> ...img... ``` horizontal alignment can easily be achieved by adding the following code to either custom css or child theme css: .PiwigoPress_photoblog { display:inline-block; } .PWGP_shortcode { display:inline-block; }
