Hi, I'm trying to use the Dynamic Content Gallery with Thesis, I have followed the directions provided with the plugin, and I have also followed the tutorial available at wolf-howl however once it is all set up I end up with two different content galleries. One in the feature box, where I want it to be, and one in between the header and the content. 

Also the content gallery either displays no pictures, or it will only display two particular posts, and these posts are not in the category that I set up. I have no idea what i am doing wrong, and I am totally new to all this, so any help would be greatly appreciate thanks.

I can't find the gallery on your site. Did you remove it? If so, can you put it back, and also explain what you mean by Feature Box?

Hey, sorry about that, I've put the content gallery back up for you, don't worry about the feature box, I've decided I don't want it in the feature box(it's a feature of thesis). Anyway, as you can see the pictures are not displaying in the gallery, and neither are the post descriptions. 

If you click on either of the arrows on the gallery you will see the beginning of a post show up, one is pirates, one is handcuffed, neither of these posts are in the category that i selected to be displayed, and haven't even been set up with the dfcg-image or the dfcg-text custom fields. I have no idea what the heck is going wrong.

Hi Joel,

The problem is you are running both my plugin, DCG, and the Featured Content Gallery. If you want to use my plugin you will have to deactivate the Featured Content Gallery – they can't both be used on the same site.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_a_post() in /home/theerog1/public_html/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php on line 31

Joel,

I'm not that familiar with how the Thesis template files are organised. Which template file is used to generate the home page? Index.php? Home.php? Whichever is used, can you post it here?

Hey sgr, I actually have no idea. I had a quick look and there is no home.php and the index.php has virtually nothing in it. I've had a look through all the files and the majority of them are just commented with "do not edit this file use the thesis_open_hook…

The only files that have anything in them apart from the do not edit, is functions.php custom_functions.php stylesheet.css and layout.css

How would i tell which one to paste up here? I'm sure you don't want me pasting all four up.

Hi Joel,

Actually, I have no idea. I don't have a copy of Thesis (it's a premium theme, I think?), so your best bet is to ask the theme author. Confused

You've probably gotten this figured out by now, but I think you just need to remove the script that you put in your Thesis file to call the DCG.

global $post; include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/dynamic-content-gallery-plugin/dynamic-gallery.php');

I think if you remove that it should work properly.  Right now it's trying to call DCG with that code, but since the plugin is deactivated, it's causing the fatal error because it *can't* call it.

Forgive me if I used any incorrect techie language, I really don't know what I'm talking about. ;)

Carrie,

I think you're sort of right… Smile

get_a_post() isn't a DCG function, it's a Featured Content Gallery function. Therefore the code that should be removed is the call to the Featured Content Gallery in the theme file.

Hope this makes sense!
