I have installed the plugin and have used the visual editor to create a shortcode that accesses a test album using my JAlbum URL. However when I update the post and view it the album is not visible. I know there is something on the page because I have placed a section of text before and after the shortcode and I can see a large empty space in between the text.

I have used the embed code in the post just to make sure that the album is visible using that method and this works so I know that the album is viewable but for some reason, it appears hidden when using the shortcode.

Reasons for an empty page to appear are missing .json files or an incorrect url of the jalbum album.

Or a combination of options in the editor, happened to me also this way
.
The .json files will appear when you enable them to be generated (Album Settings Advanced - Meta data - Generate .json and dont forget to upload your album to your server!

Start with a working url, uoploaded .json files and leave the defaults in the options
Test that first and when this works then change options.

And be careful not to 'damage' the shortcode. When you look at it in the WP editor textmode, you see it 'embeds' html with &gt for '>'.

Example of how mine looks now:

[jalbum_bridge albumurl="http://reizen.hansotten.nl/uploads/europa/italie/northitaly/venetie" ordering="random" transition="crossfade" layout="24" titletemplate="<h1>${title|name}</h1>" titlestyle="transparent" captiontemplate="" layout="24" / 

(Note the layout="24" will be reset to 12 when editing!)

The Advanced tab of the jAlbum settings, not the Advanced tab of the Turtle settings.

Yes, you are right I was missing the full colon and I thought I had copied it exactly. Just to be sure I deleted the original line of code and used JAlbum Bridge to create a new one, this is it

jalbum_bridge albumurl="http://snjohnsen.jlabum.net/test" slideshowdelay=2000" transitionspeed="1000"/

I have taken the square brackets out at the beginning and end of that code otherwise it does not display within this message.

But for some reason it still it still does not work for me.

Not sure how you got yours working maybe its a different theme causing the conflict or maybe another plugin conflict but something is stopping the display.

I had an idea that I could use a collaborative album and have that album display on a page in my WP theme using this plugin with the various transitions.

Works fine, look here: http://reizen.hansotten.nl/test/ (I will leave it up for the next day)

The url working here is: http://snjohnsen.jalbum.net/test

You have another typo in your url in your post: http://snjohnsen.jlabum.net/test

Test the url and then copy/paste it, it looks like you are typing it in.

Hi,

There's no trace of jalbum.min.js on your page. For some reason neither the required CSS nor the JS library is included. An no call code either... My guess is you are using a page builder plugin (WPBakery Page Builder) which takes over and doesn't let other plugins to work.

I must admit I don't know much about plugin-cross-compatibility, as this is my first plugin. I was simply following Wordpress' plugin authoring guidelines. There might be some trick to make it work with such page builders too. I will investigate the issue.

I am unable to get the jAlbum gallery on my WP site.

I have installed the plugin, I created a new folder "album" on the server and uploaded a test album.

The file Json is there.

Please see the attached screen shots.

Thanks for any help.
