supportI’ve been trying to improve page speed optimizations for my site. I added WP Fastest Cache and Autoptimize. ALL of the other Elements Plus! plugins I use on the site work EXCEPT the Gallery Plus! widget. The gallery page does work in Safari and Opera (I don’t use Chrome) but *not* in Firefox. No matter what I try to do, it simply will not display the gallery. Can anyone help me determine what the problem is? Anyone know what’s going on? The version of Firefox I’m using is 106.0.5 for Macintosh. TIA The page I need help with: [ log in to see the link]
Hi there, Can you switch temporary themes (try the default WordPress one) and let me know if the issue persists? This reply was modified 3 years, 6 months ago by Fotis .
I am too chicken to try to change themes, even temporarily. I need my store site to be live 24/7 (and I’ve broken it before which took days to repair.) Is there any other way to check out possible problems? If I have to change themes, what’s the safest way to do so? …and keep any potential customers out of it?
I solved the issue! [Without switching themes!] Gallery Plus! is a jquery driven widget (which might have something to do with the lazy loading). Going into Autoptimize > Images, I turned off the option labelled “Lazy-load images?”. Retested the page and it works! Now the question is: why? Why does lazy loading affect the gallery layout? Is there any way to fix the gallery so it works with Autoptimize/lazy loading? I’m only using the Gallery Plus! widget on one page out of about 320 pages, all of which have images. [Will Elements Plus! programmers even see this?]
if you only have a gallery on that page, you could go to the “edit” screen of that page and in the “autoptimize this page” metabox disable “lazyload” there, impacting only that page? alternatively as all images in the Gallery seem to have Gallery in the title-attribute of the image, you could try adding that (with capital G) to the lazyload exclusion list? hope this helps, frank (ao dev) This reply was modified 3 years, 6 months ago by Optimizing Matters .
Hi — sorry about the delay. That worked too! Great! Thank you! I didn’t realize the Autoptimize options were on the edit page (I had been bypassing it by going straight to Edit with Elementor.) I feel much better about how this is going to work and I can lazy load all the rest of my site (which is considerable!!) Thanks again! — Fox
