Hi, broken image links usually means the path is incorrect in either your pixgallery code or in your cache setting. It’s tricky–usually adding or removing the initial / in the cache code will fix things. If this doesn’t work try it for the pixgallery code.

The real issue usually stems from a different setting: Your setting for the url for your blog in the general settings sections. In some situations this setting has a trailing / added to it. In others it does not. This can also affect things and throw stuff off.

I followed the tutorial but all the image links come up as broken. They show up when the page is in draft but when I publish they do not when I click on one it is giving me an error that says

Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.

With a page reading /wp-content/uploads/cache/ then long stream of numbers.png

I just created my first gallery. In the post, In the cells where the thumbnails ought to be, it’s displaying a bunch of broken-image-link icons with the filenames underneath.

Clicking on any of the broken-link icons takes me to a page for that image, and the image displays normally on that page. Why are the thumbnails not linking correctly?

I’m new to wordpress with the arras theme and I have downloaded and activated your plug in however, as I followed the tutorial I found that there are 3 folders in my “uploads” folder: 20

Hi Diane,
This issue is usually related to how your URL setting is set in options. If it doesn’t have a trailing / (ex: http://example.com) then add one: http://example.com/

You can also try the absolute linking setting in pixgallery.

Hello … I have been trying to install my Gallery for a few hours now. Double checked the video and documentation but still getting this error message: Error: Path does not exist [/misc/37/000/178/621/3/user/web/weary.quietlion.com.au/www.weary.quietlion.com.au/wp-contents/PhotoAlbum/]/]!
I know it is probably something really simple but I would very much appreciate any help as I am tearing my hair out at this stage lol.

Hi Thor,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. The video does play, it’s a quicktime video so unfortunately it takes awhile to download to your browser before it will play.

If you let me know why the archive didn’t work I might give you ideas on how to fix the situation.

Hi David,
The video is a bit dated at this point and was done for a much earlier version of WordPress and Pixgallery. The locations have moved due to changes in WordPress. Image captions are now under the posts section, and Galleries are under Appearance. The easiest way to add image captions is to use the “add caption” links that appear under images in the front end when you are logged in as a admin.

The code for adding a gallery to a page has been updated as well (it’s shown in the settings page) but the older one will still work as well.
