    Hi Saxena,

    1. Yes, the issue was fixed in the following commit
    https://github.com/buddydev/mediapress/commit/6aa6ce846fc344c9030c9553f12eacf23bb979ab

    I have yet to release this on wp.org

    2. For [mpp-uploader gallery_id=695]. It will only allow the user wo created it or the site admin to upload.

    For sitewide gallery, there are 2 approach that works
    1. Let users create gallery and upload to their gallery
    2. Or let all users upload to single gallery. In this case, you will need to use the MediaPress Global Shared Gallery addon.

    If I understand correctly, you want to go with approach 1?

    About MediaPress Release:- There is one more feature that I need to add in current release. Optimized loading of the media in the lightbx. Currently it loads all media from context which is not optimized if your gallery has hundreds of images. I am paginating the loading and then will release MediaPress.

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    Thanks Brajesh,
    I would like to go for both the approaches as I want some of my students to create their own galleries and some to upload in the gallery I have created.
    So what do you suggest me to do?
    Regards
    Saxena

    Hi Saxena,

    For 1st approach, you can use the shortcodes as I have mentioned above.

    For second, you can create a gallery, set it as global gallery using the plugin

    https://github.com/mediapress/mpp-global-shared-gallery

    and then use the uploader shortcode to let everyone upload. For first approach, you don’t need the uploader shortcode.

    Regards

    Thanks Brajesh,
    So you want me to download the zip file “mpp-global-shared-gallery-master” and upload as a plugin in wordpress.

    Hi Saxena,
    Yes, you will need to download and install that plugin and then enable it per gallery.

    No Problem.

    I am glad I could help.

    PS:- Once you have activated the plugin, if you visit the gallery edit screen in dashboard, you will see option(checkbox) to enable it for that gallery.

    And should I do the same with mediapress plugin. Download the mediapress-master.zip and upload as a plugin?
    Will that upgrade my old plugin or I will have to create all the galleries again?
    Regards
    Saxena

    Hi Saxena,

    You can do the same for MediaPress but there is a catch. The name of folders are different.

    Here is what I suggest.
    1. Download mediapress-mater.zip
    2. unzip it
    3. Rename directory to mediapress. Most probably unzipping will name it mediapress-master

    4. Zip the renamed file
    5. Delete old plugin
    6. Upload new

    Upgrading plugins don’t remove old galleries. They will work.

    Regards
    Brajesh
