It'd be a nice feature to add, but there's no plans for it as yet. No, I’m afraid this is not possible in the plugins present form. It’d be a nice feature to add, but there’s no plans for it as yet.

You'll need to edit the plugin jQuery code. You'll need to have mainImageDiv hidden initially then use jQuery slideDown() on the thumbnail click event. The tricky bit will be to make it work when there are multiple galleries on one page. Hi Lauren,

I am using the bitvolution gallery for a project (again) and I wanted to tweak it to my needs but can not figure out how to do that exactly. Basically I want only the thumbnails to be visible at first. Then when you click on a thumbnail the .mainImageDiv slides open. How could I do that? If you could explain me where I could alter that in the code I can try to figure it out myself! I am a big fan of Bitvolution, sorry for all the requests ;) Greets, Lauren Hi Bitvolution!

It occurs because, by default, my plugin uses thumbnails that are not the normal Wordpress thumbnail size. You need to go to Settings->Media and change the thumbnail size as described in Step 3 of the installation instructions at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bitvolution-image-galleria/installation/ Why did I choose this plugin size and not the normal WordPress one? It is much more space efficient and faster and works better for the sort of websites I work on. There are other gallery plugins that use the default WordPress thumbnail sizes or automatically scale the images (a performance sin in my eyes). Hi Carl,

It could help out someone else if they come across a similar issue. (I'm afraid I didn't know how to solve it and I've never used Dreamweaver so can't investigate closer).

And it worked! The plugin was not deactivated on Admin reload after upgrade, did not generate any error message, and seems to be working flawlessly! So, in conclusion, there is an interaction between the original plugin code, Dreamweaver 11 and WP 3.1 and above... I suspect some invisible character being written by Dreamweaver, but when I compare the WP-admin-editor-modified file with Dreamweaver's one, TextWrangler does not find any difference between the two except the extra carriage return... Could saving the php file with the WP editor change a record in the database? So, I don't come with a final explanation, but have found the workaround to avoid Dreamweaver to edit the plugin's files in the future. And again, I LOVE your plugin, it is the only one I found that fitted so well our needs.

Today I upgraded a copy of my site to 3.2.1, with my modified version of the plugin being instantly deactivated with the same deactivation message stating that The plugin does not have a valid header. I re-installed your original plugin with success, added a return between to blocks of code in bitvolution-image-galleria.php and got the same deactivation message. I edited the file with Dreamweaver 11. What I found out today is that if I edit the file within wp-admin, the plugin seems to be safely saved. So the culprit is Dreamweaver (a trustworthy program) – or a bit of code in the php file that Dreamweaver does not like or understand. Could that give you a hint ? Of course, I will re-edit the files with the wp-admin editor and come back with my results. I waited for a newer version of WP.

I am having a few issues which I hope you can help me with. The gallery works fine apart from the fact that the thumbnails are all over the place (you can see what I mean here: http://carlwebb.com/wordpress/?page_id=129). Have you seen something like this before or am I just doing it wrong!) Thanks for any help you can give me. CARL Hi Tom,

Two examples are http://www.stokerowaccommodation.com/gallery and http://www.greekislandpropertyfinders.co.uk/what-we-are-finding Hi Jean,
