wp 2.8

[truthiness]

Upgraded to 2.8 and now am getting a black box where my FCG used to be.

Deactivated NextGen and reactivated thinking that might kickstart things, but no luck.

Any ideas? I am using 'articleimg' as my custom field, doublechecked the code for where the gallery should go, etc. All is the same as before.

I'm stumped.

I can say that is not a problem of FCG. I use Wordpress 2.8 too and i have some problem at the beggining. Wenn i activate the plugin the 2 first post was killed, simply disapear from fronpage... and i try to deactivate all plugins that use javascript or mootools and such a plugin is that nextgallery. Wenn i deactivate it and reactivate it everything ok and now seems everything to work.
But i think the problem is not at the plugin. the problem is at the wordpress 2.8, coz im having really big problems with my admin panel. The dashboard is not showing at all, the drop down menu left dont funktion etc etc. Bu i can secure u that works with 2.8.

Only try to deactivate and reactivate some plugins... Wp Super Cache makes sometimes problems too, but just delete all the cache

I am having the same problem. After I upgraded to WP 2.8 the FCG images disappeared and there is only a gray box.

On my computer I can still see it on Chrome but not Firefox.

These two blogs have the problem after the upgrade:

http://buildingfromnothing.com
http://livingclean.com

I had some others check one of the blogs (buildingfromnothing). A friend in another state said he could see it on IE (in compatability mode) but not Chrome or Firefox. Another person checked from another country and could not see it (not sure which browser, probably Firefox.) So it doesn't seem to be just me.

I have tried deactivating and reactivating plugins. I also tried it with all other plugins inactive. Still the same problem though.

Open to ideas or suggestions ...

I thought I should post so the developers know this is effecting a lot of people. As one person said above, it may be a problem with WP 2.8; however, if they have changed their software, plug-ins will need to update to remain compatible.

I tried using Featured Content Gallery for the first time yesterday. I could not get it to successfully work running under WP2.8. I’ve just spent the last 2 hours installing, and tweaking the CSS etc. The box is mostly saying "loading", but the more serious problem is on the front page is refuses to display my last several posts, ie., the first post displayed in the loop is a post from several days ago, and when I click on any heading to view a single post, it tells me that "nothing exists." There appears to be problems with the loop.

Thanks again. I’ve de-activated the Featured Box until I can get it working properly.

Just installed a fresh copy of WordPress 2.8 and a Studiopress corporate theme which uses the FCG plugin, but no luck on getting the plugin to work, may have to downgrade the WP install to 2.7.1

Is the admin of this forum around?

I'm doing better than some there -- 2 out of 3 blogs work. The other one is down for the count.

Well I couldn't wait for a reply, so I found another plugin: Dynamic Content Gallery. It is working wonderfully. If you use the Thesis theme, there is a slight change of code you need, but that's it.

I tried to troubleshoot your site..I saved copy of your site livingclean.com on my computer, then went to the code and started removing line by line of your javascript files...I figured out -
these three lines are causing conflict

Code: Select all

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://livingclean.com/livingclean/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.3.2'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://livingclean.com/livingclean/wp-content/themes/hybrid-beach/library/js/jquery.cycle.js?ver=0.1'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://livingclean.com/livingclean/wp-content/themes/hybrid-beach/library/js/jquery.functions.js?ver=0.1'></script>

I am able to see your organic vegetables..since I removed those 3 links..
These lines are related to your theme..and it looks like you did not have any problems with theme and fcg before(even if your theme using a lot of jquery which sometimes not working with fcg)
So again if you did not have any problems before upgrade, try reactivate your theme..and also, try fcg on default theme. I do not know what they did with jquery in 2.8, it looks like it gives more problems and conflicts now then before..
also, I upgraded my 2 sites, I did not get any errors..galleries work without any problems...but I do not have any jquery plugins or theme on my site

FYI
We provide support only to people who provide urls, where we can take a look and see the problem..there is nothing we can do to troubleshoot questions like this.."my gallery is not working, what can I do?"

One interesting thing happened on my site:
- If I have checked to use category selection I only get a black box,
- If I have checked to use individual post or page IDs it works fine.
Will update If I can come up with anything.

---Update2---

Seems like if when checked to use category selection FCG uses the slug name instead of the actual Category Name.
