NextGEN display problems in Firefox

    Since January, when I established a WordPress blog, I have been looking around for a good way of handling images in WordPress. And coming across the NextGEN plugin made me truly happy: This was what I needed. Simple, yet elegant thumbnail display, full control on compression/size, and a good basic fade effect. So within short time I have made a lot of postings using the NextGEN Gallery plugin.

    But then a few days back I installed the Firefox browser, just to discover that my square thumbnails do not display properly in Firefox. It might be my newly installed Firefox was not properly configured, so I asked a long-time Firefox user, and he had the same problem. It seems that only the frames of the thumbnails come up, and heavily squeezed horizontally.

    Therefore next I deactivated all plugins except for NextGEN, but that didn’t help either.

    For instance this page of my blog displays a NextGEN Gallery: http://a21.dk/blog/2008/04/10/foraarstegn-xii-sakura-paa-langelinje/

    In Internet Explorer 7, you’ll see a mandala-like display that I like very much, with 4 rows of 6 images. And quite nicely, they fill the 600 pixel column. But in Firefox, same page appears with just 24 slender empty frames on one row. And … the other day I saw an Internet Explorer 6, where it displayed only 5 thumbnails per row.

    Therefore I should very much like to know if somebody have any hints where these problems come from?

    Also, if I should wish for one thing to make different in the appearance: Is there any way of replacing the top left link for changing between gallery and slideshow with some light graphic element center-positioned below the thumbnails/slideshow?

    Kind regards from Copenhagen,
    Jens

    Hi Jens,

    Last year I had the same issue with NextGEN and I’ve found the solution after read lots of faq’s. (http://www.beinha.com/?page_id=11)

    Here we go:
    Question: I can’t see the thumbnails in FireFox , Internet Explorer show them correct.

    Answer: This is an open CSS issue. Please have a look in your theme style-sheet and search for max-width: 100%;
    Delete this line and the thumbnails are shown also in FireFox.

    About changing between gallery and slideshow, I never tried but I’m quite sure you can do this with no problem.

    Best regards from Brazil

    Dear Beatriz

    Thank you very much for your advise.

    I know no nothing about CSS encoding and when searching support forums for help, I feel like Bambi on ice.

    But with your help, I just made my first ever change in the theme style sheet.

    And it did the trick!

    Sunshine from Copenhagen,

    Hi Tia,
    Let me know your page with the gallery example and I can try to help you with this issue. I’m using same versions as you are: wp 2.6 and NextGen 0.98. And it works on mac also.
    Best,

    I have the same problem. No “max-width” on my css and the imagens on fire fox and chrome are showed at the bottom of the page. It works fine on IE.

    Any suggestion? Check here:

    This IS the solution (I mentioned in the other thread) – at least in your case!
