#### White screen when uploading images ####

Tidypics tries to calculate the maximum size of an image that your server will support. If it
guesses incorrectly and someone uploads a photo that is too large, the script may crash when
resizing the image if you are using GD. The easiest way to test this is to set display_errors
to 1 in your .htaccess file and upload large images. If this causes a problem, a php memory error
should display on the screen. You can increased your php memory limit. A better option is to use
imagick if your server supports it (again see the docs directory).

If it is not a memory issue, you should see some other error appear. Once you have fixed the error,
change display_error back to 0.


#### Question mark images appear ####

If you see question mark images when you look at your albums, this means the resizing of the images
failed. This could be due to the memory limits as described above. There are other causes. Tidypics
tries to detect these problems and write the cause to the error log. You should check your server
error log right after an upload that results in a question mark for these error messages. The messages
will begin with "Tidypics warning:". It is possible if you have turned off php warnings that you will
not see these warnings.

Another possible cause is using command line ImageMagick when your server does not
support it or specifying the wrong path to the ImageMagick executables.


#### Unable to save settings ####

If you are unable to settings, Apache may be configured to block pages that use
file paths as Tidypics does when setting the location of the ImageMagick executable.
In this case, leave that field blank.


#### Latest photos and latest albums widgets on index page ####

You can either use the Widget Manager plugin to add these widgets to the index page or in case you
don't use this plugin you can also add them with customizing the Custom Index plugin index page. For
adding the widgets with the Custom Index you need to add the following code to the file
mod/custom_index/views/default/page/layouts/custom_index.php:

<pre><code>// Tidypics latest photos
if (elgg_is_active_plugin('tidypics')) {
    $latest_photos = TidypicsTidypics::tp_get_latest_photos(6);
    $latest_images .= elgg_view('output/url', [
        'href' => "/photos/siteimagesall",
        'text' => elgg_echo('link:view:all'),
        'is_trusted' => true,
    ]);
    echo elgg_view_module('featured', elgg_echo("tidypics:mostrecent"), $latest_photos, $mod_params);
}</code></pre>

<pre><code>// Tidypics latest albums
if (elgg_is_active_plugin('tidypics')) {
    $latest_albums = TidypicsTidypics::tp_get_latest_albums(6);
    $latest_albums .= elgg_view('output/url', [
        'href' => "/photos/all",
        'text' => elgg_echo('link:view:all'),
        'is_trusted' => true,
    ]);
    echo elgg_view_module('featured', elgg_echo("tidypics:albums_mostrecent"), $latest_albums, $mod_params);
}</code></pre>

Where to add these lines depends on where you want the widgets to appear on your index page. You can also adjust
the number of photos or albums respectively that will shown in the widgets by changing the parameter of
tp_get_latest_photos() and tp_get_latest_albums() to the desired number.
