Flickering Foobox gallery on mobile
7 replies · Started by Coen on November 5, 2018
Hey there,
I'm having problems with showing a gallery in a lightbox on mobile.
https://landcruisingadventure.com/shop-goodies/#foobox-1/0
This page looks good on destop, but on the iPhone I tested it on, it starts to flicker. I did some searching and found that maybe it has to do with the sticky navigation. So I turned that off. It didn't help. It is all the same.
Any of you have an idea why this is happening?
Adventurous greetings,

Hi there,
I can't see what GP would be doing to interfere with the plugin.
Is there a lazy loading option in the foobox plugin? if so try disabling that.
Hi David,
Frankly I wasn't blaming anyone, I'm just trying to find out why it does that. And while searching I only found other instances in which people were referring to the sticky menu that is trying to keep up in the screen (or something like that.) So the first thing I tried was disabling that sticky menu.
I did ask some people to test it on their mobile phone and some said it worked (they had a newer phone) and some encountered the same issue (haven't found out if they are using an older phone or not.)
I have a general Lazy loading plugin. And I tested with disabling it on that URL and on pop-up boxes.
It makes no difference.
Sorry I didn't mean to imply you were. The issue is there on my iPhone 7+ latest iOS, and the lazy load script, which looks Foo related, looks like it is continually firing on elements.
What plugin are using for the foobox?
The next steps will be #1 here to narrow down if it is a plugin conflict:

If still an issue then try disabling the GP Modules, the slideout menu uses off canvas and JS so could be clashing.
I am getting mixed reports from my friends using various phones:
- Samsung s9 - no problem
- Huawei P20 lite - no problem
- iPhone SE - flickering
- iPhone 8+ - no problem

I will debug tomorrow... It's bed time over here...
Thanks for your thoughts.
I also issued a ticket at Foobox

That is odd. Keep us posted on your findings. Have a good night
I didn't do the debugging yet, I got some pointers from the FooBox guys... But just so you know, I disabled the slideout menu, just to test... and it made no difference.
Gosh I love it when it all works, but I really don't like it when it doesn't. It like electrics..
There is quite a lot going on with that page ie. lots of scripts running that could effect this so keep us posted on what you find.
