Deactivating NextGen<br /> 2. Removing the NextGen plugin from the plugin folder<br /> 3. Downloading a fresh copy of v1.3.3 and installing it to the normal folder<br /> 4. Reactivating NextGen<br /> 5. Updating the permalinks to another structure and then changing back to the structure I wanted and updating them again.</p> <p>Everything works :) No idea what the problem was and I know others have tried this without success but it has worked for me. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279468/page/2#post-1126108 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 18:36:38 +0000 vielmetter 1126108@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I tried re-installing the plugin and I tried the permalinks change some here have suggested without any success. Performing a reset to default in the NGG setup kind of worked for me, basically it changed the effect to Shutter which after some playing around is apparently the only effect that works for me. Thickbox, lightbox, etc all don't work properly but shutter works just fine. I'm ok with that until a fix is released. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279468/page/2#post-1124762 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 12:32:52 +0000 bosnuk 1124762@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi Alex.<br /> To let you know - I fixed my problem. Simple spacing between singlepics helped. Took me helluva time to correct all troubled posts manually, but looks OK now.</p> <p>Just a suggestion. Since I'm apparently not alone using multiple singlepics in one post, maybe it makes sense to make it possible to post them via one shortcode, something like 'singlepic id=1,2,3,4'? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279468/page/2#post-1121858 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 20:59:33 +0000 eharris 1121858@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>visser - I agree, it makes absolutely no sense, and I don't understand at all why it worked, or why I wasn't able to duplicate the problem on a test site that was literally a direct copy of the files and database from the site that broke every time I upgraded it. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279468/page/2#post-1120971 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 02:13:48 +0000 visser.labs 1120971@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>That makes no sense eharris, I've looked at the code going on when you reset settings to default for NGG, and it does very little. weird!?</p> <p>if anyone has a broken site and needs help pm me or flick me an e-mail <a href="mailto:michael@visser.com.au">michael@visser.com.au</a> as I'd love to jump in and help. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279468/page/2#post-1120882 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 00:20:33 +0000 eharris 1120882@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>That seems to have done it! I reset the NGGallery settings, manually reconfigured it (it's annoying, but seven pages of options, most of which are nearly-default on my site, are better than rebuilding the galleries from scratch), and then updated WordPress. I disabled SuperCache (to be sure I wouldn't be seeing an old cached version), cleared my browser cache (for the same reason), and the galleries are working fine now!</p> <p>I don't know what the problem was, but this seemed to have done the trick. If you've already updated to 2.8 and didn't revert to 2.7 upon finding this problem, try resetting your Gallery settings anyhow. If doing it pre-update fixed the problem doing it post-update might also fix it. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279468/page/2#post-1120855 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 23:41:53 +0000 eharris 1120855@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>visser.labs - that is not the problem that I'm encountering or that most others are describing here. The problem that is described is quite different (404 errors and such), and the permissions are already set as defined (755).</p> <p>However, I don't know what the problem is. I just went through the trouble of duplicating my WP 2.7 site in its entirety (manually hacking the duplicated database to point to the new URL in a whole bunch of places, etc - took longer than I thought to copy the site to a new URL). For some reason, NextGEN Gallery simply refused to see the images at all, and also refused to let me edit its configuration options. So I reset them, and it began working fine in 2.7. I never could figure out what database entry was stopping it from working.</p> <p>Then I upgraded to 2.8, to get a non-working site to play with and link to. Wouldn't you know it, the darn thing WORKS! I have no idea why it works when my main site fails, but it does. Perhaps resetting the NextGEN Gallery settings and manually reconfiguring before the update somehow did the trick, but I don't get it. It doesn't make any sense to me, and I'm not sure I want to take the time to upgrade my live site again only to have to restore it again, which is somewhat time consuming.</p> <p>Right now, it looks like resetting Gallery's settings to the default before upgrading <strong>may</strong> be the solution. I don't know for sure that it's what solved my problem though, nor do I know if it'll work if you reset the config after upgrading. In either case, it doesn't delete the galleries themselves, and only requires you to reconfigure the settings pages. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279468/page/2#post-1120432 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:59:55 +0000 photosbykev 1120432@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Alex,</p> <p>website link is <a href="http://www.photosbykev.com/">here</a></p> <p>scroll past the first couple of images and you will see the broken shortcodes.

There was a note in my "Gallerie" menu item saying I needed to update the Gallery first. Before that picture galleries didn't even show up...</p> <p><a href="http://stimuli.ca/2008/10/14/lightbox-280-plugin-for-wordpress/"><br /> Stimuli Lightbox2-plugin</a></p> <p>Still I think is is a major issue and needs fixing.

The problem must have been "fixed" by replacing most of the images in my test gallery. I tried the various methods above on <a href="http://www.kungfu-silat.com/">an operational site</a>, and the gallery is still hosed. Thumbnails work fine, but when I click on one, it just churns away with the animated "wait" icon.

I just updated my development site to 2.8.1-beta1, and then I re-imported some images into the Gallery database (they had been inadvertently deleted). I don't know which step fixed the problem.</p> <p><a href="http://dev.eharrishome.com/gallery/">Here's my development site gallery</a>, which also demonstrates how my 2.7 theme fails in 2.8.

I can't see anything for thickbox, lightbox, shutter etc...</p> <p>You should rename the nextgen gallery folder to something else, upload a brand new folder... and then disable the bad behaviour plugin... see if that works... </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279468#post-1111971 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 20:13:45 +0000 aimeeish 1111971@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I FIGURED IT OUT!!!</p> <p>On the options part of NGG, just remove the rel="%GALLERY_NAME%" and the Thickbox will work. So, I guess this is a temporary fix until Alex figures out a way to get the REL's back working properly. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279468#post-1111944 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 19:32:03 +0000 saberlight 1111944@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I had some problems after upgrading nextgen and wp. A couple of things that fixed it, just in case.</p> <p>1. Nextgen actually prompted me to update my nextgen gallery because it was out of date. I don't remember which page this prompt was on. I think it was on the main gallery page. This was just a click of the button and easy.</p> <p>2. I needed to update my permalink structure in Wordpress from the settings page.</p> <p>These probably aren't your problems but thought I would post in case. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279468#post-1111293 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 22:21:52 +0000 aimeeish 1111293@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I can't delete the database tables and reinstall the entire plugin -- I have like 1000 photos stored. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279468#post-1111245 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 21:37:32 +0000 photosbykev 1111245@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Alex, if it helps with the debugging I am willing to provide full access to website/server so you can investigate the problem </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279468#post-1110936 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 14:54:29 +0000 JasonGW 1110936@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I think I'm going to just go ahead and delete the plugin and its database tables and reinstall it.
