    Hi Douglas,
    I am sorry I missed to update you.

    I logged in to your site earlier and was able to upload and see images.

    Here is the gallery you had created( images were uploaded by me)
    Here is the link of the sitewide gallery.
    http://tratto111.altervista.org/gallery/test-test/

    1. i had issues yesterday creating gallery on your site due to caching issue. I cleared cached and waited for few minutes only then I was able to upload. I believe you are facing the same problem( even the upload box was not visible to me properly when I had upgraded the site).

    Please clear cache and try. It is working fine for me.

    2. The problem with images not being found was related to gallery component. Tjose images had no component assigfgned. You don’t need to worry about it. It was due to old version.

    For Linking, please create a gallery and link directly.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Jan,
    I did not notice I already reached to the guru level on the new forum so soon 🙂 You too seem to be enlightened 🙂

    Thank you for the details. Please put your mo file in the mediapress/languages directory or do you have WordPress languages directory created?
    If yes, you can put the mo file there. Normally the languages directory for WordPress is named “languages” inside wp-content. You can put the translation for plugins inside languages/plugins directory. That is a fallback location for loading translations if the translation file is not found inside the plugin specified languages directory.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Jan,
    The sitewide activity is not properly translatable at the moment. Will put some efforts tonight and will make it translatable by tomorrow.

    Thank you

    Hi Jan,
    Please rename the “mediapress-master” to “mediapress” and reactivate the plugin. It will take the translation.
    The translation files are named “mediapress-locale.mo/po” where first part is the actual directory name of mediapress. Since you are downloading from github, it gets renamed ot “mediapress-master”. So, that’s what is causing the issue.

    When we start providing it from wp.org repo or BuddyDev, the directory will remain mediapress. That’s why I am suggesting to rename the plugin directory. Please try that and It will be working.

    Hi Douglas,
    My apologies for the delayed reply. We had some maintenance work going on the BuddyDev, so could not reply earlier.

    I will first visit the site and fix the issues. I know why they are appearing( for old galleries, try creating new galleries, these won’t).

    After that I will let you know the details here.

    Hi Douglas,
    It is fixed now.

    I had a look at your site and I found that you were using a very old version of MediaPress. When did you download it and from where. It might be my fault to link to an older version, so just need the idea.

    I have updated the MediaPress plugin there. Also deactivated it on network and just activated it on your main site. If you need it on all site only then you should network activate it.

    After upgrade, There was some file caching that caused me to wait for a few minutes. After that, Things seem to work for me. I have disabled the Members/groups etc. Please check and see if there is any issue.

    Here is an example gallery that you had created earlier.

    I am glad you have sorted out most.

    For the last, please visit “Dashboard->settings->Permalink” and copy your current settings. Then select a different one and click save. After that, copy back your old permalink and save. The first change will flush the permalink while the second restores your old setting.

    Flushing rewrite rules is a heavy operation, that’s why we do it only at the activation of the plugin and not each time the options is saved. Please give it a try and let me know if that made it work.

    thank you
    Brajesh

    Thank you for the clarification.

    1. There is no need to create any page. You can link to the gallery directly from your Appearance->menu page. Here is a guide on How to Link to a Gallery directly from WordPress Menu
    https://buddydev.com/mediapress/topics/getting-started/settings-options/linking-to-mediapress-galleries-from-wordpress-menu/

    2. If you are the only one going to upload, here are my advice:-
    – Please disable User/groups gallery and keep the Sitewide Gallery active only.
    -From MediaPress settings, Please disable the status/type you don’t need and save.

    – You can create Sitewide Gallery from Dasboard->MediaPress->Add New Photo gallery. Try it and you will be pleasantly surprised. The editing/uploading experience should be great we hope.

    3. If you are using sitewide gallery and you have changed the “Gallery slug ” in MediaPress settings, in that case, please flush rewrite rules to avoid 404 error.

    Once you have created a gallery, please link that to the menu.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Douglas,
    Welcome to BuddyDev forums and thank you for using MediaPress.

    I am sorry but I did not understand the question properly, so I will try to explain what I understood and the solution. Please do correct me, if I did not get it correctly.

    1. Do you want to list all galleries in a grid? If yes, please use [mpp-list-gallery ] shortcode. You can customize this shortcode with various options. Here is a guide for various options.
    https://buddydev.com/mediapress/topics/getting-started/shortcodes/mediapress-gallery-listing-shortcodes/

    2. Or do you want to list all media? you can use [mpp-media] with all options exactly same as above. With mpp-media, you can also use ‘gallery_id=some_id’ to list media from that gallery.

    [mpp-show-gallery id=XX] will only list the media from a single gallery. so that may not be usefull for you.

    If you simply need a page where all the galleries are listed, You can simply enable directory from MediaPress Settings->BuddyPress and then assign a page to gallery in BuddyPress->pages. It will list all galleries.

    If you can explain me and provides more details, I might have other suggestions too.

    Thank you
    Brajesh
