Version 1.0.7 – Fixes for WP 3.2

Donations

Thanks for your support!

While PhotoSmash is still being discontinued, I did want to clear up a couple of bugs I found with WP 3.2. Please feel free to email through this site’s Contact page if you find other issues.

PhotoSmash 1.0.7 should work with the new version of WP 3.2. Please note that WP 3.2 uses the latest version of jQuery, which has some major updates that could cause old code to break (Thickbox is displaying some weirdness, but it might be something else). Please note these 2 items from the changelog for 1.0.7:

* Removed an extra /DIV that was causing problems with the absolutely positions footer in Admin > Photo Manager
* NOTE: Users who are displaying their images with the Thickbox Popup…for some reason, Thickbox now doesn’t like when the REL attribute contains something like: lightbox[album]. It causes the Thickbox loading screen to pop up, but nothing happens. Here are your options: 1) try using either the Shadowbox JS or Fancybox for WordPress plugins (Thicbox stopped being developed back in 2009, and I believe that time and the new jQuery have caught up with it), or 2) if you have lightbox[album] in you REL parameter (first page of the Gallery Settings screen after you select your gallery and click Edit), try changing the [album] to [ gallery] (without the space)

. I added some extra code to deal with that. But NOTICE, if you switch to Shadowbox JS or Fancybox, be sure to switch the [ gallery] (without the space) back to [album].

PhotoSmash is being Discontinued!

One of the biggest problems I encountered while supporting PhotoSmash was themes and plugins that did not get along with others well. So as a parting gift, I share with you 2 of the best I found. For themes, I LOVE Woo…for forms: Gravity! I use and love both of them.
