ViewsWordpress Gallery is not displaying
I have developed a custom wordpress theme from scratch. I'm having a issue in it. When I try to use native wordpress gallery shortcode in my post or page, It is display fine in the editor but its not displaying on the front end.
I even tried it by using:
echo do_shortcode('[gallery columns="5" link="none" ids="70,69,68,67"]');
But nothing has shown up...
Other post / page content is displaying fine but just gallery is not displaying. Its like its not even generating anything on the front-end.
If I switched the theme to any other theme it work but not in my theme, so its clear that its a theme problem. Do I have to add some kind of theme support for the gallery?
Any help would be appreciated :)
Update: 2 May, 2017
I'm using pre_get_posts hook which causing the problem. Can someone help me understand why?

Waited a lot but couldn't find an answer... I found the issue but doesn't know how to resolve it. But fortunately there is a way around it.
I have been using wordpress's pre_get_posts hook to set a tax_query which looks like this:
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'homeInjector' );
function homeInjector( $query ) {
if ( $query->is_home() ) {
$issues = get_terms( array(
'taxonomy' => 'issues'
) );
if ( isset( $_POST['issue'] ) ) {
$term = $_POST['issue'];
} else {
$term = $issues[0]->slug;
}
$arg = array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'issues',
'terms' => $term,
'field' => 'slug'
)
);
$query->set( 'tax_query', $arg );
}
but if I use same code in index.php with new WP_Query object it works!
$issues = get_terms( array(
'taxonomy' => 'issues'
) );
if ( isset( $_POST['issue'] ) ) {
$term = $_POST['issue'];
} else {
$term = $issues[0]->slug;
}
$qry = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'issues',
'terms' => $term,
'field' => 'slug'
)
)
) );
Don't know why but it works...
But still I'll wait for the appropriate answer because mine is just a way around to help me and others :)
