@hai3009 – The NextGEN Slideshow widget does not use flash … are you referring to another plugin?
– Cais.
hmm… no, no other plugin.
I use this nexgen widget since years and the slideshow in the sidebar was ok. For that i had a file named imagerotator.swf in the nextgen-gallery folder. Just after the update ther is that error showing.
Slideshow erfordert den Flash Player und einen Browser mit Javascript Unterstützung.
Kind regards

@hai3009, imagerotator.swf is not necessary anymore. That file was necessary for slideshow in Rabe’s Nextgen legacy versions.
Now flash slideshow is integrated so you don’t need any external file.
Ok, but how can I show then this slideshow again in the sidebar?
I only have the Nextgen Slideshow Widget and with this comes this error.
Or can I show slideshow only in a Page and no more in a sidebar since the update to 2.0 ?
@hai3009, You can have two different types of slideshows, jquery and flash slideshow, and you can display it in these ways:
In a sidebar with the slideshow widget or with a shortcode in a text widget if your theme support PHP code in widgets, and in a post/page with a shortcode or via “insert gallery window”.
For the error message, first check your general settings and look if you have activated “Try XHTML validation” and if so change to “no”. Otherwise you should try to deactivate all your other plugins with a WordPress default theme activated just to see if that makes it go away. In a basic situation it should works. Don’t forget to clear your cache, and also check if your browser is updated. If the error disappear, you can reactivate all your plugins one by one and theme until you find the culprit.
Another thing that might be important after a so-big update, it would be the reset of all old NextGEN settings (and maybe image cache) and the deletion of old slideshow widget – you don’t say if you have changed it or if you are trying with the new one.
You can try this in conjunction with the above basic test.
Here the documentation of NextGEN 2.0.
@tizz,
thank you verry much for your help. I give up.
I didn’t get the error. I made all that what you wrote and nothing happens. Only change is, if I select the “Show as Flash” Option than is the text error message in the sidebar and if I select “show not as Flash” than the flash waiting gif animation is showing.
Kind regards
Horst
@hai3009, it’s very strange that none of the slideshows aren’t working with a WP default theme and no other plugins activated.
Is the only thing not working in your NextGEN installation? Or galleries aren’t working too? Can your report here your server info from “Overview”?
Also, a live link to the problem may help to help you, plugin’s author is always well supporting here in the forum or via private “bug report”, so I think that with more info and better investigation you could solve.
I will not display here the link becaue the google search. Can I send you the link via mail? I can also give you an admin account if you want.
@hai3009, You can ask support via report bug form directly to Photocrati team, the plugin’s authors.
There you can reference to this topic and add your site’s login details.
@tizz – Thanks for all of your efforts … @hai3009, if you are are not wanting to share the URL publicly then the Bug Report would be your next best option.
– Cais.
