Troubleshooting Tips
Common issues and quick fixes.
- Check that the shortcode is correctly pasted and the gallery ID exists. Temporarily disable other plugins to test for conflicts. Clear your WordPress cache and browser cache. Increase your PHP memory limit if you have many projects.
- Ensure the layout is available in your version (Free vs Pro). Check your gallery settings — you may have overridden the layout. Verify that your projects have the correct fields filled.
- Check that JavaScript is not disabled or blocked. Look for console errors in your browser’s developer tools. Ensure the lightbox setting is enabled in the gallery settings.
- Check that your images are uploaded to the WordPress media library. Regenerate thumbnails if needed. Verify that your server has sufficient resources for image processing.
