Hi! Thank you for this great plugin! Just a quick question: After reading through Photonic’s built-in documentation, I was under the impression that Photonic can be used to override and alter the layout of all existing built-in galleries that were created by adding the shortcode in the classic editor or in a classic paragraph block.
On my site, after installing Photonic, I went to Photonic–Settings –> Generic Options –> Layouts. The first setting there, “Image layout”, has the following explanation: “If no gallery layout is specified, the following selection will be used:”. I selected “Thumbnail strip below slideshow” and saved the settings.
Now, based on this setting, I would have expected that all existing gallery shortcodes would now get rendered as a slideshow. However, their layout didn’t change at all. I tried flushing the cache, without any effect. On the test page linked to from this post, I have a classic gallery shortcode on top, and you’ll see that it gets rendered as the standard built-in grid, as it has always been. Below is a Photonic gallery block, which gets rendered as a nice slideshow; so Photonic works in principle.
Am I correct in expecting that the layout of all existing galleries should have changed? Or am I misunderstanding this? If so, what could I do to change the appearance of all my pre-existing classic galleries to Photonic’s slideshow layout? Search for all the shortcodes and add a “style=…” attribute?
I don’t think I have plugins enabled that interfere with galleries, other than Photonic. The theme I’m using, Manifest, is a bit outdated, but it doesn’t have any fancy javascript or css going on, it is pretty straight forward.
So, any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
