General settings -> Advanced section -> SSL verify peer: No

What kind of malware code exactly, what does it say? You could download the installable file from here and manually reinstall (upgrade), your settings will not be lost.

Doesn’t say but I was able to upload it on the sitegrounds file manager just fine. Seems to be a false positive on their end when uploading via FTP or Wordpress

Not yet but that functionality is something I definitely want to add eventually but it will require a differently written frontend for the plugin.

OK, then I’m just going to ask and hope you have some input. I can create a search form using Media Library Assistant with the MLA shortcode. Works fine. The problem is I also use Real Media Library and the RML shortcut feature where you can create multiple instances of the same image in more than 1 gallery. The results of the search are bringing up those mutiple instances and the same image is being displayed more than once in those results. Is there anything in JIG that would limit the results to just 1 image?

Sure, this snippet will deduplicate shown images:

I tested it by creating one RML folder with an image, and making a copy of the image right next to it (RML shortcut feature). With the snippet active, only 1 image shows in a grid.

I use this plugin for snippets: https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/

If your JIG-based search results page gallery has any distinguishing attribute in the shortcode, the code could be restricted (so it does not try to deduplicate other grids).

WoW! Ok Thanks! I’ll give that a try. Can I just add that to my functions.php or do i need that plugin?

Never mind – Just tried it out and it works great! Thanks Again!

No problem! If you want a sneak peek of what I aim to do with JIG search in the future, check out the site of my dad: https://balvanyoshuba.hu/kereso/?szerelem/kepek/ (try deleting last letters of the search word and see the results update in real time + there are some filters) That’s a sitewide search from thousands of images, indexed by Algolia.

I sure will. I honestly look forward to your updates.Take Care!

Looks really cool! Of course I’m having to translate to English, but still looks like I’m getting relevant results – (sorry art is not my expertise). Is this something that is going to be added to JIG in the near future? And looking at the pricing of the search engine it doesn’t look very inexpensive.

There is a good free tier but yeah this is a paid service generally. There are other ways, other providers, this was just a proof of concept / tech demo. No ETA, not near future, but it’s the direction I’m aiming for with all the new stuff I’ve been learning. Search-as-you-type could simply look at just images in the grid, query the database, or use an index that the plugin could create. For Algolia, I also needed to direct the indexing, they “just” provide the raw power and the algorithms to use on the indexed data.

Some static sites use search in a way that the entire site’s index (just texual data fragments) gets downloaded behind the scenes when you want to search (could be as large as an image), and the result is a similar instant search, so there are free ways too.

I’ve always wanted to add a “Search as you Type” feature to my site. As it stands with the default Wordpress Search, if they misspell what they are searching for, 0 results are returned so they go away thinking the content isn’t there. And since you brought up “new stuff” I’m just going to ask about the updating of the Lightboxes. If I’m not mistaken, PrettyPhoto and Photoswipe have been updated. Are they updated in JIG as well? One of the Lightboxes has the ability to display an image’s description next to it instead of below it and I would really like to be able to do that.

That’s a crafty solution!

You can use this plugin to include php snippets on your site (you’d put a shortcode on an empty page where you want more functionality): https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/

Why is it good in a tag cloud for words to visually overlap? It messes with their clickability (hit/tap area) especially if they are small to begin with.

Wish I could release this kind of search functionality (I built it for my dad’s site using JIG and Algolia) https://balvanyoshuba.hu/kereso/?szerelem/kepek/

As to how to make the tag cloud filtering more colorful, I extracted the 40 color codes from your ultimate tag cloud, wrote a CSS a for JIG that gives the illusion of random, here it is:

Hello Firsh, thank you for your reply. So you saw nothing critically wrong on my method? That’s good.

Also thank you for introducing nice plugin that enables multiple coding, and providing me the CSS example to change the colors of first 40 tags. I extended that to 80, and it still worked. Thank you, now my tag cloud is no more in B/W world. Believe me, It’s very useful to recognize each tag words by quick view, especially for tags including spaces.

The reason of tighter line spacing of tag-cloud is for better looking and also to save the vertical space. Different colored tags can be easy to read even with small overlap (see example https://1wishyouwerehere.com/ ). Can you please teach me a CSS how I can adjust the line-height of JIG tag cloud section?

At last, the “Live searching” feature on your dad’s web page is really amazing. It’s very fast and I feel real-time-filtering. We all are eager to have that!! Please include it in the next release of JIG!

BTW I see that Live searching uses AND method for the texts connected with a space or a comma. I tried to find a method enables AND search for JIG ng_search_query, but I could only realize OR search. Is it possible to make AND available for JIG?

Hello Firsh, I’m still looking for a way to modify the line-height of the tag-could. Hopefully you can help me. I found the way to designate the paragraph of the tag-cloud, then I could increase the line-height. However this extra CSS doesn’t work in the direction to reduce the height. When I specify line-height more than 1, it works, but any line-height smaller than 1 is just ignored. So there seems to be restriction of the line-height range within other method than normal CSS, I guess. Can you please tell me how I can adjust the line-height as I wish? Thank you.

/* Adjust line height for tag cloud */
.jig-filterButtons, .jig-filterTags {
line-height: 0.5 !important; /* You can adjust this value as needed */
}

Update. I’ve been able to reproduce that the gallery loads all images on infinite scroll until the last batch. These load blank then glitch. If I goto settings and set to load all. Every image fails to load.

Is that safari desktop or tablet? Could it be running out of memory? Both versions of the site seem to use the same stack and you are using Jetpack’s image CDN. Individual thumbnails are huge, like lightbox-sized. You don’t need to disable thumbnail creation, especially if you have Jetpack replacing TimThumb.

Safari desktop. Only started doing this about a week ago. Tim thumb is off based on your advice due to a previous issue related to a cacheing issue. It loads super fast with no complaints- it’s the issue now that is the problem. Ive gone ahead and turned Tim thumb back on for now – and clear cache. Issue on Safari desktop continues. Thanks.

If you have Jetpack’s thumbnail creation enabled on the site, you can keep TimThumb on, as that setting controls any kind of thumbnail creation. Try decreasing row height + deviation settings as their current combined value is 1000 which can be a bit much for thumbnails. I’m assuming that Safari Desktop has retina screen which mean even larger thumbnails get loaded for it.

While I couldn’t spot any difference, there is an &nbsp after the grid on the non-www site.

Both sites have &nbsp and identical JIG code. Plugins site wide are also identical. I can reproduce a pause of a few seconds on the site in question loading JIG vs the other one. For the record this site also on occasions exhibits the java code loading error in red text briefly before loading (as per a previous support comment). Why is this happening on one site but not the other? Thanks

Just an update. If you use Pingdom tools you see the issue.

Site in question loads JIG last with an ugly blank screen

Site using identical everything loads JIG instantly. Thanks!

The preview picture these tools generate is not indicative of what users see, these are simply a snapshot at a point int time. Both sites behave the same for me, nice and fast from the EU, load under 2 seconds.

OK good to hear. Thanks,

Sorry to keep asking for help with this but this issue is consistent. Just now I cleared all cache on site and also browser and it took EIGHT seconds for the JIG gallery to load and the page was completely BLANK during this time. This is not acceptable. Can you please try and help me work out why this page only has an issue? I’ve just published a test page and after inserting JIG the issue persists. Thanks.

Given that the images are being served from a different location for me (Vienna if I inspect the network requests) my experience is different from yours (making me unable to debug it). JIG creates the layout, after that it’s up to the servers. Perhaps Jetpack doesn’t have an edge server near your location and your hosting (if local) would be faster for you. Have you tried without Jetpack, how did the built-in thumbnail creation fare, what problem did it have?

Pretty sure it’s related to the plugin specifically and I’ve finally managed to capture the JS error that I get with the plugin ONLY on this site. You can see the JS error here:

I see that Litespeed cache plugin optimizes JS but it also defers JIG’s scripts. I’ll change the way the plugin loads but for now, there are inline scripts that depend on a specific loading order of scripts and that they are not “deferred”. Can you make an exception for the plugin’s scripts in the litespeed cache plugin?

Sorry I have no idea what to change. This is the only site with issues and others using the same cache plugin have no problems. Ive turned off conditioner script loading as suggested by the error message.
