How do I get the gallery on to the page?
Watch Video Tutorial and read FlAGallery Review
The flash didn’t work. I only see the message “The Flash Player and a browser with Javascript needed..”, but everything is installed and activated.
Make sure you have the following in your template. (It’s in the original WP header.php template, but if you’re creating your own, you may have forgotten to include it):

<?php wp_head(); ?>

That line would go in between your <HEAD> </HEAD> tags

When I try to activate the plugin I get the message : “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
This problem could happened if you have a low memory_limit in your php environment and a lot of plugins installed. For a simple test deactivate all other plugins and try then to activate GRAND Flash Album Gallery again. Please check also if you have a minimum memory_limit of 16Mbyte (as much as possible).
I get the message “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of xxx bytes exhausted” or get the “Error: Exceed Memory limit.”. What does this means ?
This problem could happened if you have a low memory_limit in your php environment or you have a very large image (resolution, not size). The memory limit sets the maximum amount of memory in bytes that a script is allowed to allocate. You can either lower the resolution of your images or increase the PHP Memory limit (via ini_set, php.ini or htaccess). If you didn’t know how to do that, please contact your web hoster.
I get the error message: “Couldn’t load the Color XML file.Error #1088″
Make sure that all colors set properly on Skins page -> Skin options tab. Colors should be in HEX-format (without ‘#’ symbol from v0.40).
I get the error message: “Couldn’t load the Main XML file.Error #1090″
Check image names and titles if there are some special characters or quotes delete image or rename it.
When I open the archive/category page of my site… it will show the post but with this message :
The Flash Player and a browser with Javascript support are needed..
But if I open the post, it will shows the gallery perfectly
It’s because your theme use some function different from

<?php the_content('Read more'); ?>

to display post excerpt in index.php or archive.php or category.php. If you insert “more” (page breack) tag in post before shortcode, then flash will be only on individual page.

How to create a categories in flash album? I only have one category, which is the name of the gallery.
You can do it easily with FlAGallery button on editor panel, when you edit post. In trhe popup window hold down ‘Ctrl’ button and choose galleries left mouse button. Or just write gallery IDs separated by comma in “gid” attribute:

[flagallery gid=7,3,5,2 name="My Galleries"]

To display ALL galleries as categories:

[flagallery gid=all name="My Galleries"]
How can I set it to auto slideshow when open the page?
Download and activate skin with auto slideshow.
The gallery keeps loading without ever showing the images
You’ve probably changed site url, so flash think that images are on other domain. Just click Reset settings on Overview page. That will solve the problem.
ERROR: Couldn’t load the media file.Error #2036
Make sure that you have equal number of images in Manage Gallery and in ftp folder. Check if you have broken images.
How do I set a specific category as the first one that is displayed?
if you have three galleries and shortcode like:

[flagallery gid=3,1,2 name="Gallery"]

first gallery will be with ID=3, then ID=1, and then ID=2
if you have:

[flagallery gid=all name="Gallery" orderby=title order=ASC exclude=1]

it will display all galleries except ID=1 sorted by title of gallery.

[IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2032"]
Probably you use some plugin that extend standard WordPress TinyMCE Editor. And it replace ( ” ) symbol in shortcode to ( “ ). Try remove all quotes from shortcode (album name without quotes shouldn’t consist spaces).
I get this error code: ERROR: IMG_5879.JPG : Invalid upload. Error Code : 1.
Error Code: 1. This mean that the uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.
Check PHP Max Upload Size on Overview page.
When i install this plugin and go to add a gallary name, it gives an error that ‘directory wp-content/flagallery doesnot exists’
Create it manually with chmod 0755.
I only get the message on my page: “The Flash Player and a browser with Javascript needed..”
GRAND FlAGallery conflict with NextGen flash image rotator (JWPlayer). So don’t use it on the same page. JWPlayer somehow rewrite js code for my plugin…

  1. “Edit Thumbs” just runs without letting me in to do any editing. I saw a previous post and someone said it was my server. Is that right?

    Otherwise the plug-in is great!

    • I found the problem was solved when I used Safari rather than Explorer. However, despite making changes to the Thumbs they don’t show up as edited when viewed.

      I’m almost ready to try a different plug-in!

    Just installed FLA Gallery, but no skins default skins appear. Tried to manually upload a purchased skin but doesn’t show up in the list.
    I have manually created the plugins/flagallery directory and the flagallery-skins directory but still cannot see any skins. Have also manually moved the kins folder from /flash-album-gallery to the /flagallery-skin with no luck.

  3. bcci says:

    I have installed your FLAGallery plugin but am not seeing any skins appear in the skins folder.
    After digging thru the FAQ’s a bunch, I found some helps on creating directories that your plugin needs.
    I reset the plugin, still no skins.
    Uninstalled, reinstalled still no skins. I even downloaded a skin and uploaded it, still didn’t appear in the list.
    I think your plugin is rather broke.

  7. Lazer says:

    Hi I have your plugin on my website and love it, its by far the best I’ve tried but the images when uploaded to the plugin become very under saturated, is there any way this can be changed, the colours are very dull. Please help, as I might have to change to another plugin. :-(

  8. Meghan says:

    Have installed the demo version of the Greenstyle skin and am in serious love. However, I see no option on the “options” page to change the font color of the titles. The neon green is bumming me out. If I purchase the full version, will I have the option to change the font color?

  9. françoise says:

    for Editors the Fla Gallery button is not been displayed in the Dashboard, only by Admin login. Can this been changed, if yes how?
    Your plugin is amazing, everything works well. Thank you very much for this work!
    I’m using the greenstyle PRO skin and happy with it.

  10. Wes says:

    Two problems:
    1. I cannot upload pictures using the flash based upload and it says error “HTTP 302″ so I have to upload each picture individually with the browser upload. This is very annoying and time consuming.

    2. When I upload pictures, they automatically rotate so they’re sideways and rotated 90 degrees to the left. I’ve tried rotating the pictures in Preview to both the right and the left to counteract this but it has no effect.

    Any help is appreciated!

    The slideshow display honors the width setting (800px), but the height does not adjust (is set for 600px), but displays only about 200px, thus showing only about 1/3 of the slide.

    I placed onto 2 separate pages and the same thing happens.

  17. terry says:

    How do I have the Title or Description display in the slide show?

  18. I really like the theme and design of your website and the articles are great too. You have covered most of the important questions and the problems that the people must be facing in your FAQs and that too in such a conversational manner. This is really impressive. Thanks!
