I have hit a wall with the configuring of galleries for my school website that use CPT’s. We have multiple galleries which I would very much like to style a la BB full width And I can accomplish this using the Envira shortcodes in the page builder for the single page galleries. However, because we need multiple galleries I have to use Envira’s album add on in order to create the central album page with links to the galleries - Envira’s Galleries and Albums use the single.php theme template by default. So I have changed the Envira templates to the same as the page.php template and placed them in my child theme.
The Album page is now full width but it cannot be styled by the page builder and any content added sits below the photos. Links to follow…
Let me see if I understand correctly, with Envira you can build a page with multiple Albums, and clicking on one of the albums will pull up a gallery of the photos.
Is the gallery page auto-generated? That is, if you had 10 albums/gallery pages you could build all 10 of them using Beaver Builder, but Envira is automating displaying the gallery pages?
And or, is the issue just that the galleries are loading in the wrong spot with the CPT version?
Sorry, you might need to elaborate a bit more for me. I am not sure if I totally understand.
Also, if we can, I may want to peek at your admin area and/or FTP into the site. Could you provide a temporary WordPress/FTP login for me?
So sorry for the delay in getting back to you, its just crazy busy at the moment!!
Yes that’s right you can create multiple albums on a page, that link to a gallery of images.
Yes the gallery/album pages are auto-generated (see my last 3 links 1xalbum the 2x galleries - these are the auto generated pages by Envira.
I don’t think the load in the wrong spot.I have simply created my own workaround galleries using the envira shortcodes.
I have found a work around as I need his site to go live next week.
Ideally we would like the album thumbs to link to the gallery pages (the ones being auto-generated by envira) but because I cant customise these pages I have specified Envira albums to open a lightbox of the images.
The live accessible pages are showing the albums/galleries using the shortcode - which work fine in the text editor on a BB page, so I created some custom bb menus to link to the galleries I created using shorcodes. When using shortcodes the pages are customisable using the page builder, which is good. It’s just the auto generated pages are rendering above the content/below the header and are not cusomisable using the page builder (see bottom 3 links above) I have tried to add BB rows, which all sit below the thumbs.
