Gallery slide show stopped working
-
I’ve been using the free version of WordPress, theme Twenty Ten, & the “Classic” editor for several years now with no problems. Our posts are pretty straightforward, usually a few lines of text and a gallery of pictures, so that worked well until recently. Until a couple of weeks ago, from a published post viewers could click a picture to enter the slide show and then click on the arrows to the right and left of the picture to move through the slideshow. Clicking on “i” would provide information about the picture. The number of the picture in the slide show would show up at bottom left (e.g. 15/60). Clicking the “X” at top right of the picture would return you to the post page. Similarly, with the preview of a draft post I could do that.
However, now that doesn’t happen. Instead, clicking on the right arrow does nothing or opens a new tab with an ad. Clicking on the left arrow does nothing. Moving through the slide show happens only using the left/right arrows on my keyboard. “i” doesn’t work. It is impossible to return to the posted page by clicking the “X”, which worked in the past. Repeated clicking of the “go back in history” arrow will eventually get you back to the webpage. Otherwise, you must close the tab and start again. I have checked older posts and get the same thing, and a friend using a different computer has the same problem. It happens when using both Chrome and Edge. Any ideas explaining what I am doing wrong and how I could fix this would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi there, I just checked your post using Firefox latest on Win10Pro PC and was able to navigate through the Carousel photos in your Tiled Gallery without issue.
Switching to MSEdge I encountered the same navigation problems you describe.
I’ve flagged your thread for Staff attention and assistance.

Apparently this is a known issue that both @staartmees and I missed seeing earlier.

Image Carousel – next/prev/close buttons – not working in Brave or EdgeStartedHello – on one of my sites, I noticed the image carousel now no longer worked properly – I would click on an image in the gallery, it would open but the buttons (next / prev / close) did not function. To test, created https://torontotest7.wordpress.com/ (using the recent twenty twenty-four template / ohter side used the Maryland template) and checking on various browsers, I discovered the carouselStaff have advised later in that thread that a fix should be in place soon.

Thanks! I guess I wasn’t searching for the right terms. Good to know it wasn’t due to something that I did. Hope they get it fixed soon.
-
any progress on the issue at hand? the github is marked as “closed” and “fixed”, but it’s still not working for me, and has not been working for days, now
-
No. It’s not fixed yet. It is the subject of a different thread that I missed, and can be found in the forums. They are supposed to be working on it. Fingers crossed!

@elliottsmithgallery @bunchflowers according to that github repo, the fix for this is expected to be deployed sometime today (Monday).

i’ve seen that, but for whom? “Next deploy to Simple would be on Monday. On Atomic later next week. And for self-hosted – with next Jetpack release.” i don’t know what’s “simple”/”atomic”/”self-hosted”
where i am, it’s been monday for some time

Great news! Thanks for coming back and letting us know. If you run into any further problem with this, post back here. I’ll go ahead and remove the tag for Staff attention in the meantime.
@bunchflowers as you are the original poster here, you can also mark this thread as resolved.
Cheers!

Thanks so much for your help. It was a relief to know it wasn’t something that I had done wrong!
