Hi everyone,
First of all thanks for this wonderful and versatile theme!
I’m almost ready with the site, however I found some confusing behaviors in galleries en image pop-ups.
First, I noticed Pretty Photo did not show the description in the white area below the pop-up the image. I found a thread with a link to an updated script for loop-index.php https://kriesi.at/support/topic/lightbox-problem-description-caption-not-displayed/
That does work for some galleries. It works in posts for the gallery type “Big image with thumbnails below”, but it does not work on a gallery with just small thumbnails.
The selected image is exactly the same;
This is a post with two of the same galleries, why they are presented different is beyond me
[gallery link="file" columns="4" ids="54,55,53,52"]
Normally it parses to the thumbnail version without the description tag
Any ideas about that?
Then, in the pages the description tag is shown, but you can’t enter them in gallery upload view:
You need to click ‘edit image’ and then you can see the description, which took me some time to figure out, let alone the end-user
EDIT: just did a test switching the language to English, but that did not make any difference.
Hey henkvanm!
1) The reason why the description doesn’t show if you use
[gallery link="file" columns="4" ids="54,55,53,52"]
is that it’s not a theme shortcode but the standard wordpress shortcode. You can use the “gallery” element (or shortcode) of the theme and instead of “Big image with thumbnails below” select “Gallery Style” > “Small Thumbnails”. The default wordpress gallery shortcode produces a different output which is not compatible with the prettyphoto description feature.
2) “Then, in the pages the description tag is shown, but you can’t enter them in gallery upload view:” – I’ll ask Kriesi to look into it. Maybe we can add this option field to the upload view.
Cheers!

Ah, that clears things up a bit. Thank you :-)
