I’m using a plugin, NextGEN gallery, to display photos. Each gallery from this plugin corresponds to a different sub-page, so I’m using conditional shortcodes to assign the right gallery to it’s corresponding sub-page.
Problem is, it’s not working. I’ve used this exact setup before without issue, which leads me to believe that whatever is causing the problem now is probably something small I’m overlooking. I think a pair of fresh eyes would help out a lot. Thanks in advance.
ETA: I’ve also tried putting the corresponding shortcode directly in the sub-page, which needless to say didn’t work.
gallery.php
<div class="content">

As a test in the first conditional statement replace your
//php commentin theelse {}portion of your conditional with an actualechostatement to see whether the conditional is actually working properly,Go to any of your sub-pages other than 39 of course, and you should see It works! print to screen which then suggests the problem lay more firmly with the plugin.
We need to ensure your conditional is validating properly first..
UPDATE
Seems you have a duplicate question posted here on August 21st which I stumbled across and so to your website and I can see the issue now.
The page id 39 corresponds to this URL,
http://www.yourdomain.com/rebecca-h/…when navigating to that page you can see the gallery is working perfectly.
However when you are on your gallery page, i.e.,
http://www.yourdomain.com/gallery/And you use any of the links within your code block,
The URL in which your browser tries to retrieve is,
http://www.yourdomain.com/gallery/index.php?page_id=39Which for all purposes is incorrect. In fact you’ll notice that you can see the It works! statement echo out to the screen when trying to view Rebecca Haehnle’s gallery which means that the conditional statement, although working, is validating as false instead of true.
Thus we are certainly not on the sub-page like you thought.
Instead, change your links to the following format,
This will print the top level domain name as your URL
http://www.yourdomain.combefore/index.php?page_id=XXgiving you a proper URL.Alternatively you can use the permalink/slug instead of the ugly
index.php?page_id=XXbusiness like so,
