Gallery and Carousel

Hi

I have activated the Jetpack Tiled Galleries and the Carousel and cannot get either to work on my site.

With the tiled galleries, the thumbnails will display on the site all tiled nicely, BUT when you click on a thumbnail image, it opens to a full size image in the window, and does not display in a LIGHTBOX. Is there a particular Gallery Setting I need to have to achieve what I want? I do NOT want the thumbnail image opening up as a FULL SIZE image. I wish to have a LIGHTBOX.

If I choose any other of the Gallery settings, such as SLIDESHOW, I get the following error: This slideshow requires JavaScript and only displays a blank, black image. I have checked my Mac and I have the current version of Java installed.

I have tried a couple of different Shortcode packs and they all seem to do the same (that is, the image opens up as a full size image in the window and not as a lightbox), so there looks to be something in the SHAPELY theme that is overriding the ability to have a thumbnail image open in a lightbox.

I have checked and I have the current version of SHAPELY according to my WP Dashboard.
I have checked my Jetpack settings, and the IMAGE GALLERY CAROUSEL module is active.

For the time being, I have removed any GALLERIES from my site until I have your response. Temporarily, I am using a SLIDER that a user needs to manually scroll through to see the images. My site is not yet LIVE as it is still very much under construction and I don’t wish to post the URL here publicly.

Thankyou.

Hi @mswilson,

I hope you are well today and thanks for posting here.

Could you please try deleting the shapely theme that you are using on your site and using the theme by downloading it from this page https://github.com/puikinsh/shapely/ ?

Best Regards,
Movin

Thanks Movin.

Will that mean I lose my content and or any customisation of the theme I have made, such as colour changes, added the EBS plugins etc?

Sorry For question. I am very new to WordPress.

Will that mean I lose my content

No you will not lose your content.

or any customisation of the theme I have made, such as colour changes, added the EBS plugins etc

If you have installed the EBS plugin separately apart from theme then it won’t affect.

The color changes may get affected so please take backup of it and also note after installing latest theme you may have to reconfigure it.
