Image won't appear and description is not being generated

I'm using the Dynamic Content Gallery on this site.

I cannot figure out why the picture, and description, does not show from the 1 post that's in the Featured Projects category that I selected to pull the image from.

Though if you firebug the .jdgallery and remove the overflow:hidden css, you'll see that the picture is there, but way below the gallery.

But how do I get it to appear in the gallery, and where's the image description?

Hi,

Did you read the documentation? It is clearly stated that the gallery needs at least two images in order to work.

thanks for the quick response. i have two images in there now and am more thoroughly examining the documentation. but i cannot seem to get the Auto Description to appear. It's set at the default 100 characters but only the post name shows.

please advise. thanks.

plus there's some obvious alignment issues i'm struggling but i think/hope i'll be able to figure those out on my own.

Hi,

I can see descriptions below the titles in the Slide Pane. What settings are you using in DCG Settings > Descriptions?

The alignment issue is weird – I can't see what's causing it. Just as a test, switch the DCG to use jQuery and see what happens.

I'm using the Manual descriptions setting. I tried Auto and still couldnt see it. I have text inputted in the image descriptions as well as the custom excerpt. Still nothing.

And I just switched the javascript settings to Jquery. The full pic seems to show up now (though no description). And the pic has doubled over itself so it looks fuzzy.

As I mentioned in a PM, I'm willing to pay the $25 to have you handle the setup, but I didn't see any Paypal link. I have a number of other sites that I want to install this plugin on as soon as I get it working properly here so I'm anxious to get everything working properly.

Please advise. Thank you.
