  8. S Calhoun says:

    Not having luck.

    Plugin activated
    xml file edited (filename=space-gallery.xml)
    used full path in xml

    In my page text area I put:

    [space-gallery=filename=space-gallery.xml]

    I see in the Page Source the calls to the plugin, but no gallery is written, so the result is a blank

    Any advice? WP3.0.1

    But no gallery showed up.

  10. Kenney says:

    I am using the plugin successfully as far as showing your pictures but how do I show the pictures I want to use?

  11. Angie says:

    Hi there would like to know if one can create different galleries i.e. space-gallery1 and space-gallery2 and then paste the code into different posts so that it only shows the images relevant to the post – I have not tried this as yet – but am wondering if it would work.

    [space-gallery=filename=space-gallery1.xml&height=450]
    [space-gallery=filename=space-gallery2.xml&height=450]

  12. Dreams says:

    i uploaded the plugin and activated it,
    but when i paste the code in a page it just appears a black square with non ending loading..

    any idea where the problem is ?

  13. MrWho says:

    Hello again.

    Again, another superb plugin, but with a similar problem to the one I mentioned on the Superb Slideshow.

    Whereas the Superb Slideshow superimposes itself on the theme’s pull-down menu, this one appears correctly under the said menu. *But* when I try to select one of the menu options over the gallery, the mouse suddenly focus on the gallery and the menu disappears, making it impossible to select any menu option that appears over the gallery.

    I don’t know if my description of the problem is of any help, but if needed I can recreate it on my home server so you can recreate the bug.

    Cheers!

    • MrWho says:

      A possible fix to the above comment I made would be to time the picture change and disable completely the mouse interaction. Can it be done? If so, how (a quick’n'dirty howto would suffice).

      Thanks!

  14. bhuvnesh says:

    it also must have next and previous button to change the image

    how to edit XML file ?

  16. Grae says:

    I’m getting this character “<"appear in the top left corner of the holding div.
    In my html it appears as "<".

    I think there is an error in the php, maybe "<" is inside a variable , but I can't find it.

    Thanks!!

  17. mike says:

    I like the plug-in, but adding my own images is confusing. Is there a way to get some help how to do it.

  18. Raph says:

    same here as Grae.
    getting the “<" character… rest stays blank.
    Using wp 3.0.4.

    thx for sorting this out.

  19. tony says:

    I’m having the same problem,seeing your pictures but not able to load mine. I see you don’t answer this question. Could you please be more specific than” update the XML file with ur images”. How about a step by step on how to “exactly” do it. I love this plugin but the problem with you guys who make these things think the rest of us are just as advanced in this as you are so you assume we know as much as you. If that were true we would make our own plugins and wouldn’t need you.

  20. tony says:

    Also for some reason some times the space gallery shows up one size then later it will be another size, how do you fix that? I notice you don’t answer half of your questions.

  21. Miles says:

    I’m using the SpaceGallery plugin on my wordpress site, but after setting up the plugin my horizontal image slideshow at the top of the page won’t scroll (pressing either directional arrow doesn’t change anything). However, when I deactivate the plugin the slideshow returns to normal. Do you know why this conflict would exist or how to fix it? Site link in my name. Thanks.

  22. Rob says:

    Great plugin, thank you very much! Only thing is that my photo’s fading out sideways and not as your demo “coming to you” what did I do wrong?

    cheers,
    Rob

    Why are you not answering the questions? I am getting less impressed

    Greetings,

    The plugin works great and looks great in my site. You definitely deserve a lot of thanks. I only have one small problem. All my photos are screencaps of websites I’ve developed and I needfor thename to appear as well as thehyperlink to each site to work. I noticed that both of these are included in the XML file. Is there some other variable(s) I needto set to activate these 2 features.
