Thank for for giving me access to one of your source images and for letting me know what settings you are using.
(I have deleted the login details from your post above and you can now delete the temporary FTP account on your web server.)
I have been able to replicate the problem and it looks like the error is triggered by certain values for the large image settings.
This is not a problem with your image. For example, with your own image, if I set the Large Images Max Width and Max Height to both 2507, the image is processed correctly. However, if I use values of 2508, the error message is displayed.
Thank you for pointing out this problem. I have notified the developers who will certainly investigate further.
In the meantime, it looks like the workaround would be to reduce your Large Images Max Width to 2507 (or lower).

... but won't making a gallery addition like this createa new jbcore folder?

Yes, but if you change the path to the 'juicebox.js' file to point towards the shared 'jbcore' folder, then you can just delete (or ignore) the 'jbcore' folder in the new gallery.

It sounds like you want to have a link within your gallery to replace the gallery itself with a different one in the same container (your text widget) on your WordPress page. This would not be easy to do at all. It would require a lot of custom coding and knowledge of HTML and JavaScript would be required.

If you were willing to include the links to the different galleries in the text widget alongside the galleries (rather than within the galleries), then you could use code such as the following in your text widget.

In this example, you would upload two complete gallery folders named 'winter' and 'summer' to your root directory.
You would also upload a single 'jbcore' folder to your root directory and you could then delete the 'jbcore' folders in each gallery if you like (as they would not be used).

<script type="text/javascript" src="/jbcore/juicebox.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    function loadGallery(base) {
        new juicebox({
            baseUrl: base,
            containerId: "juicebox-container",
            galleryHeight: "250",
            galleryWidth: "100%"
        });
    }
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('.gallery').click(function() {
            var base = '/' + $(this).attr('id') + '/';
            loadGallery(base);
        });
        loadGallery('/winter/');
    });
</script>
<div id="links">
    <input id="winter" class="gallery" type="button" value="Winter" />
    <span>&nbsp;</span>
    <input id="summer" class="gallery" type="button" value="Summer" />
</div>
<div id="juicebox-container"></div>

If you want to add any more galleries, then the 'id' of the new link should be the name of the gallery folder (uploaded to your root directory).

Incidentally, the <input> tags above could be replaced with <span> tags (for a text link instead of a button) if you like, e.g.:

<span id="winter" class="gallery">Winter</span>
<span>&nbsp;</span>
<span id="summer" class="gallery">Summer</span>

The problem is with the following CSS code on your web page (specifically the text-indent line):

body
{
    text-indent:24pt;
    background-color:#222222;
    font-family: 'Open Sans';
    color:white;
    font-size: 10pt;
}

This code will apply to all elements on your web page (and the gallery has no option but to inherit these CSS rules).
Either remove the text-indent line or apply these CSS rules to only those elements on your web page which require them through use of CSS selectors (classes and ids).
This should solve your problem.

@bherman

I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems with JuiceboxBuilder-Pro but I'll try to help if I can.

Possibly the image was too large or invalid.

As your image dimensions are within the resolution limit for Adobe AIR, it looks like the issue certainly lies elsewhere.
If you are able to provide me with one of your source images (please upload one somewhere and post a link), I can try to replicate the problem and investigate further. Also, it might help to know exactly what images sizes you have set in the 'Resize Images' section.

... but the thumbnails for the 11 images with the error message were not generated

What thumbnail dimensions did you set?

Also, the large jpegs were smaller than the size I specified for all the images, except 1 which was generated at the specified size.

Please let me know the following:

  • Dimensions of your source image

  • Dimensions for the large images set in the 'Resize Images' section

  • Dimensions of the output image

Please note that the dimensions set in the 'Resize Images' section are maximum bounds and unless Maximum Width x Maximum Height has exactly the same aspect ratio as the Actual Width x Actual Height of the source image, then either the width or the height of the output image will be smaller than its maximum value.
Also, images are only scaled down (not scaled up) so make sure that your source images are larger (in resolution) than your large image dimensions.

Once I have access to one of your source images and know what image dimensions you are setting and getting as output images, I should hopefully be able to help further. Thank you.

I would recommend that you embed your gallery directly into your web page (rather than loading it into an iframe) if at all possible, using the embedding code found here.
As your gallery is loaded into an iframe, the Splash Page would only ever be able to expand the gallery within the iframe anyway so I would recommend that you set either showSplashPage="NEVER" (in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro's 'Customize -> Splash Page' section) to immediately display the gallery (rather than the Splash Page) when the web page is loaded or screenMode="LARGE" ('Customize -> General') to display the gallery in Large Screen Mode (which does not use the Splash Page by default) in all devices and browsers.
Another possible solution would be to set your gallery's dimensions to 100% x 100% (your gallery's height is currently 70%).
In doing so, the gallery will fill its own page (and also the iframe it is loaded into) and the Splash Page will not be used.
I hope this helps.

You can change the font size of a caption using HTML formatting as noted in this FAQ:
How do I add HTML formatting to image captions and titles?

If you wanted to change the font size of all captions in a gallery, then you could add CSS such as the following to the <head> section of your web page:

<style type="text/css">

    /* IMAGE TITLE */
    .jb-caption .jb-caption-title {
        font-size: 24px !important;
    }

    /* IMAGE CAPTION */
    .jb-caption .jb-caption-desc {
        font-size: 24px !important;
    }

    /* IMAGE NUMBER */
    .jb-cap-frame .jbac-number {
        font-size: 24px !important;
    }

</style>

Try manually setting the permissions of the '/wp-content/uploads/juicebox/' folder to 755. That should hopefully work as those are the permissions that WP-Juicebox tries to automatically set and if the plugin sees that the permissions are already 755, it should skip onto the next check.

... there is no config.xml file included in the export.

There should always be a 'config.xml' file in every gallery generated by the Lightroom plugin.
If your gallery folder does not contain a 'config.xml' file, then something is wrong (and the gallery will not be able to be displayed in a browser or opened in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro). Try reinstalling the plugin from scratch to ensure that all core files are present and correct. Also, check that you are not exporting your gallery to a folder with read-only permissions.

I deduce that if I want a responsive gallery then I should create it manually in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro, correct?

The Lightroom plugin creates a gallery very similar to JuiceboxBuilder-Pro (with no functional differences with regard to responsiveness).
With both applications, you can select the gallery size (Gallery Width and Gallery Height) and the 'index.html' page generated will contain the gallery on its own at the specified dimensions with no other content on the page.
Gallery dimensions can be percentages (of the gallery's parent container) or fixed pixel values. The default gallery size for both the Lightroom plugin and JuiceboxBuilder-Pro is 100% x 100%.
If you use percentages, then the gallery's parent container in the 'index.html' page generated by the Lightroom plugin and JuiceboxBuilder-Pro is the <body> tag (the entire browser window).

For more information on how to make a gallery responsive, please see this forum post.

(1) No. All gallery files must be on the same domain (or subdomain) as the document containing the gallery's JavaScript embedding code due to the same-origin policy. The only way around this would be to implement a Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) solution by adding the following line of code to the .htaccess file in the root directory of the domain which hosts the 'jbcore' folder.

Header add Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"

It would be much easier to just keep all gallery files on the same domain.

(2) Juicebox uses a <h3> tag for the Splash Title and your custom CSS styles all <h3> tags within the #sidebar container (which is where your gallery is), overriding the gallery's own CSS. It is not possible to isolate an element on a web page to prevent it from inheriting global CSS rules and the best solution might be to use more specific CSS selectors so that the rules are applied to only those elements that require them. However, this might be difficult to do in a WordPress environment. Perhaps the easiest solution would be to open the 'jbcore/classic/theme.css' file in a plain text editor and add the following two lines to the .jb-splash-info h3 section (lines 607-615). The line numbers refer to the current version of Juicebox-Pro (v1.4.3.2).

background-color: transparent !important;
border-style: none !important;

(3) You could have a link in a gallery (in an image title or caption, for example) which would link to another gallery's web page but it is not possible to have a gallery within a gallery.
You could switch between different galleries in a single container (an online example can be found here) but this might be difficult to achieve in a WordPress environment.

I notice that you have taken the 'juicebox.js' file outside the 'jbcore' folder.
Juicebox needs all the files within the 'jbcore' folder to work correctly (and no files within the 'jbcore' folder should be renamed or moved).
Upload the complete 'jbcore' folder to your web server and load the 'juicebox.js' file from inside the 'jbcore' folder.
This should hopefully solve your problem.

Please check that you are using the latest version of Juicebox-Pro (v1.4.3).
If necessary, upgrading instructions can be found here.

Also, please make sure that you are using a wi-fi connection rather than 3G/4G. If you are using 3G/4G, then please see this FAQ for a solution: Why can't I view my gallery on a 3G mobile connection?

If you continue to experience difficulties, then please post the URL to your gallery (so that I can take a look at the problem for myself) and let me know what mobile device and browser (and version numbers) you are using.
Thank you.

I think I know what the problem is.

A gallery's 'config.xml' file holds image size information and when you load a gallery, the image size information held in the 'config.xml' file will be used (or gallery default values, rather than custom default values, if image size information is not explicitly specified).

Custom default values will work only if you create a gallery from scratch using JuiceboxBuidler-Pro.

Try saving custom default values and then close and reopen JuiceboxBuilder-Pro and check the image sizes (click 'New Gallery'). You will probably find that they are your own values.

One possible way to workaround this would be to add the image size information to your gallery's 'config.xml' file before you open the gallery in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro.

As you initially create your galleries with the Lightroom plugin, you could add the image size information to all your gallery 'config.xml' files by adding the required configuration options to the template file that the plugin uses to create the XML files.

Open the 'juicebox_pro.lrwebengine/config.xml' file in a plain text editor and add the following on line 34 (currently a blank line just below "<juiceboxbuilder"), changing the values as required.

maxImageWidth="1024"
maxImageHeight="768"
imageQuality="80"

thumbWidth="85"
thumbHeight="85"
thumbQuality="90"

useSmallImages="true"
smallImageWidth="800"
smallImageHeight="600"
smallImageQuality="80"

useLargeImages="true"
largeImageWidth="2048"
largeImageHeight="1536"
largeImageQuality="80"

Each time a new gallery is created with the Lightroom plugin, the image sizes will be in the 'config.xml' file ready for JuiceboxBuilder-Pro.

The code I posted above is actually already set up to display the galleryDescription below each gallery.
You can enter a galleryDescription for each gallery in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro's 'Customize -> General' section.

Alternatively, if you want the same text to be displayed in the footer regardless of the gallery currently being displayed, then you can replace the #footer div with something like the following:

<div id="footer">
    <div id="description" style="padding: 10px 40px;">Custom text goes here.</div>
</div>

... and then remove (or comment out) the following line:

$('#description').css('padding', desc ? '10px 40px' : '0px').html(desc);

I cannot see the title of the splash image  gallery in the white stripe across the image in the left column (its 3/4 of the way down in the white bar) nor can I find any way to to fix this problem.

This problem is due to some custom CSS code in your 'colorado.css' file which is overriding the gallery's own CSS, specifically lines 683 - 695:

#sidebar h3 {
 font-size:12px;
 color:#990000;
 font-weight:bold;
 margin:5px 70px 2px 70px; 
 background-color:white;
 border-style:inset;
 border-width:1px;
 border-color:#400000;
 padding-top:1px;
 padding-bottom:1px;
 padding-left:20px;
}

Juicebox uses an <h3> tag for the Splash page and the Juicebox gallery is nested within the #sidebar container so the gallery is inheriting the rules above. Try applying your custom CSS rules to only those elements on your web page which require them by using further CSS selectors (ids or classes).

question 1) whenever juicebox updates I will only have to update this file to keep my current galleries on countyfairgrounds.net working?  That would be nice. -

Yes. If all your galleries share a single 'jbcore' folder, then you would just need to update that single 'jbcore' folder to upgrade all your galleries when a new version of Juicebox is released.

2) I do not understand how to do this - more explanation please.

All you need to do is upload a single instance of the 'jbcore' folder and point each gallery's embedding code towards it.
If you choose to upload your 'jbcore' folder to this location:  http://www.countyfairgrounds.net/jbcore
... then you can start each gallery's embedding code with the line:

<script src="/jbcore/juicebox.js"></script>

like here - http://www.countyfairgrounds.net/jbcore - that is what I am going to do now. ...hope that is right....

That is absolutely fine. It does not matter where the 'jbcore' folder is located on your web server as long as the path in the embedding code points towards it correctly.

Your Colorado gallery currently uses the 'jbcore' folder in the 'colorado' directory but you could change the following (on the 'colorado.php' page):

<script src="jbcore/juicebox.js"></script>

... to:

<script src="/jbcore/juicebox.js"></script>

... for the Colorado gallery to use the shared 'jbcore' folder in your root directory instead (and then you could safely delete the 'jbcore' folder from the 'colorado' directory).

Juicebox-Pro does not feature such functionality.

You could perhaps set it up manually but it could turn out to be a complex task and programming knowledge (HTML, JavaScript and PHP) would likely be required.

You would need to add a guest book to the web page containing your gallery and this would require a server-side scripting language (such as PHP) to store the comments in a database or file on your server. Try a web search with terms such as 'PHP guest book' to get you started.

If you wanted the comments to be specific to a particular image in a gallery (rather than just relating to the gallery as a whole), then you could determine the current image being displayed in the gallery using the Juicebox-Pro API (specifically the getImageIndex() method) and then perhaps somehow integrate this into the guest book you choose to use (if it is flexible enough to allow such modifications).

It would not be a quick or easy task (as Juicebox-Pro was not designed with this in mind) but I hope this points you in the right direction.

Maybe you could build a web site with WordPress. You could create your galleries with the WP-Juicebox plugin and just use WordPress's own built-in commenting system (although the comments would be per page or post rather than per image in a gallery).

I have just double-checked this functionality and it works OK for myself in JuicboxBuilder-Pro v1.4.3.

Please ensure that you are using the latest version of JuiceboxBuilder-Pro (v1.4.3).
If necessary, instructions for upgrading can be found here.

Also, after clicking 'Save Defaults' and then clicking 'OK' in the 'Save Image Size Defaults' pop-up window, be sure to click 'OK' in the 'Set Image Sizes' parent window (the window with the 'Save Defaults' text).

The easiest thing to do might be to just use the code <img src="mylogo.png" /> and then place the 'mylogo.png' file inside the gallery folder after the gallery has been created (and when the gallery folder exists).
The logo will not show up in the live preview window but it will display fine in the gallery itself.

Ordinarily, in order to have the logo display in the live preview window, it would be necessary to add this extra resource file to the plugin's 'manifest.lrweb' file (to let Lightroom know about the image file for use in preview mode) but this cannot be done as the 'manifest.lrweb' file is compiled and cannot be modified.

However, as the 'jbcore' folder is already included as a resource folder, you could add your 'mylogo.png' file to the 'juicebox_pro.lrwebengine/jbcore/' folder and then use the code <img src="jbcore/mylogo.png" />.
Then logo will be displayed in the live preview window and when the gallery is created, the logo file will automatically be copied across into the gallery's 'jbcore' folder.
