Link URL in Adonis Pro Theme not Working Properly

Thanks for your reply, Skandha. As I mentioned in my original post, the problem doesn’t seem to come up until some time has passed. I’ve checked it hours later and everything would be fine, but the the next day the problem I described would appear. I know that doesn’t make much sense but it seems to be consistent in that way; I’ve tested it now a few times. Thanks again, and I look forward to anything you may come up with as an explanation/solution!

I’ll check this out later today and get back to you. What I still don’t understand is why the linkage initially works fine but then later on gets out of position. All I’m doing is copying the image’s URL directly from my photo website and pasting it into the URL link field, while in the WordPress edit mode. Seems if it works in the beginning it should stay that way. But again I’ll get back to you later on this and tell you where things are after following your suggestions. Thanks!

Today on 4/11 at 1:41 pm Pacific Standard Time, I fixed again the linkage for first photo in the Desolation blog, the shot of my wife standing next to the Desolation sign. I used the copy/paste method I’ve described before. As of right now it’s working fine. Everything is as it should be. If this goes as it has been going for days now, by this evening or tomorrow that correct linkage will be lost and another photo will take its place. I don’t want to go any further with the fixes, because it’s likely that will be wasted effort, as this keeps occurring, but I wanted to let you know about this first photo being fixed at the date and time I gave, so going forward you’ll maybe see the same error in the system, in real time. Thanks, Skandha!

OK, and now, as of 4/12 at 9:30 am PST, everything is working as it should–in both blog posts! Well, not entirely; I had to fix one on the Geary post this time, which was actually the post that had not posed any problems before today. But having to fix only one photo is progress! I don’t know if you’ve done something on your end to address this problem I’m experiencing, or if it’s just random luck that all the linkages are aligning at the moment, but the next 24 hours will probably tell. Either way, thanks, Skandha, for all your assistance with this. If it is indeed fixed, that’ll be strange but I certainly won’t complain. If it’s not fixed, I think I’ve exhausted my possibilities in terms to a solution to it and will just have to live with the flakiness of the program when it comes to this linking feature, or move on. Thanks again!

Thanks, Skandha. It’s 4:09 pm PST on 4/12. I had to fix one photo in the “Desolation” blog, and everything was OK in “Geary”. That means everything is linking properly as of right now, in both blog posts. So, things are a lot better than they were a day or so ago, although still not quite there. I figured you had to have been doing something behind the curtain to create the improvement, as it seemed similar photos at times were being matched up visually, (not by filename) and I greatly appreciate the effort taken to do that. But have you discovered what the root cause is regarding these recurring linkage hiccups? Going forward, I plan on becoming more active in my blog postings, and already have post ideas stacking up. I don’t want to bother you with this issue each time I create a new post, so if there’s a better way to create the hyperlink photo connections at my end, please let me know. Or, if indeed it was just a little glitch in the system, even better, as I can then assume the problem’s been resolved. Thanks again!

I agree that’s probably the best way to retrieve the URL addresses–through the galleries themselves and not the search feature–but unfortunately I’ve run into the same problem using this pathway as well. Honestly, I don’t know if the problem is more or less frequently encountered through either path because at this point I’ve done these fixes so many times I’ve stopped paying attention. Just today I fixed another one in the “Desolation” blog, the second to the last photo of my wife with the peace signs, which had gotten switched around. However, the main problem with pulling the URLs straight from images in the galleries is that not all the images contained in my blogs are in my visible galleries in the first place. Unlike the main site photographic site, my blog site is geared more towards story-telling, not necessarily the display of my best photographic work. The images within my blogs–often personal in nature as you’ve seen–are there primarily to add visual support to the words, not the other way around. So, in order for me to employ the linking method you suggest it seems I’d have no choice but to put these less impressive photos in the up-front visible galleries, a place where ideally I should be showcasing my best stuff, not personal snapshots. Now, if you know of a way I can still pull the URLs from these photos I’d like to keep behind the scenes, please let me know. Again, thanks for all your help with this, Skandha. It seems things are at least far better than they were last week! All your assistance is much appreciated and I can tell you’re good at your job, but my guess is by now you probably get where my frustration is coming from when it comes to this mysterious, persistent little problem. Every few days I have to scroll through my posts to see what’s changed, and therefore what needs to be changed back. Irritating but doable when you only have a couple posts to manage, but this will be impossible when I’ve got a dozen.
