Problem of identical thumbnails on category/tag page

Postby wombi1973 » 16 Apr 2012, 10:57

Hi all,
sorry if this is a stupid question but I am having a strange problem within a category (and tag) page. By the way, I am using Suffision 4.1.5b1 and the Photonic plugin.
I am using WP galleries and so for this have created a post, with appropriate category and tags and have 27 images in the post. When I display this post, then it looks just the way I want, with the individual image thumbnails and when I click on an image, it is displayed in large "floating" over the page.
However, if I want to have a link to this gallery in my menu, then I just create a menu entry for that category. When I click on this category page, then I see on the left, in large, the featured image for the galley post and on the right I see six smaller thumbnails....but they are all the same picture! When I click on any of the thumbnails, then I get the correct picture displayed.
To demonstrate what I mean, look at www.wombinet.de and then click on the menu option "Photos -> Tomsk and Holunderle". This is then an automatically generated page for the category "Tomsk and Holunderle", which currently has only one post which is my gallery. All of the displayed thumbnails are the same.
Does anyone know what is wrong here?
Thanks.

That is very weird, because the right image is being linked to, yet the right thumbnail is not being shown.

I cannot think of why this might be happening, and the only way I can think around it is to go to Other Graphical Elements -> Post Formats ->
Disable Gallery Post Format in archives, and disable it. You will lose the "preview" type of a look that you have now, but I believe it is more important for you to display the right content.

Hi,
thanks for the reply. Yes, I tried just the excerpt and then I only see the featured image. It is a shame though because I love the feature of being able to see some other thumbnails from the gallery but oh well. I regenerated all of the thumbnails too...but that did not work.
By the way, the theme and the photonics plugin are great! Photonic is easily one of the best gallery plugins I have seen.
Cheers.
