    I think someone working with me serious messed up the photosmash files in wordpress. I can't get anything to function correctly - the voting function does not appear correctly, photos do not upload to the gallery, and it's a big mess!

    I would like to uninstall the whole program and start from scratch. Because it was working at the beginning before the files got messed up somehow.

    However, everytime I try to re-install it, it "remembers" certain things. The galleries that were made before and the photos in them still appear!

    Is there any way to actually delete everything and start from scratch?

    Thanks

    Robert

    Hi Robert,

    If your co-conspirator didn't mess with the PhotoSmash files, it might be that something got changed in the theme or another plugin was added that's causing an issue.

    Of course, if they did change the PhotoSmash files then you might like to start over. It's not too difficult to start over...here's the best way:

    1) Delete all galleries - go to Gallery Settings. Click 'Mass Edit', click 'Toggle Full View', click the check box next to 'Toggle', click the 'Show Delete' button, click 'Delete Selected', click OK...and all galleries and their images should be deleted.

    2) Reset PhotoSmash Settings to defaults - go to PhotoSmash Settings, go to very bottom of page and click 'Reset Defaults', click Ok if asked...and you should be mostly back to the initial starting point.

    3) If you had any custom layouts or custom fields or custom forms, you can go in those pages and delete them as well if needed.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks Byron,

    I did all this, and I also read another post that recommended I uninstall Socio Fluid. Both of these things together helped a lot. Now I am able to upload photos. Unfoturnately, the problems are not all fixed as I had hoped.

    I cannot get the voting options to show up. The overlay option results in just a grey box with no text in it in the upper right of the photos. The option to put the voting below the caption doesn't show up at all. In fact, the captions themselves don't show either. Please help?

    Robert,

    Can you give me a link...I'll take a look and see if I can see what might be the issue.

    Hey Robert,

    Spotted the problem...Something is causing jQuery to get loaded twice....probably a plugin, maybe your theme. But it is loading jQuery through the Thickbox path, so if you've got something other than PhotoSmash that uses Thickbox, that's probably it.

    The correct way to include jQuery (or any javascript files for that matter) is by using the built-in WordPress wp_enqueue_script function.

    Hope that helps.

    Welcome! The enqueuing was definitely a problem...there could have been others.
