    Got a weird issue. I've got a gallery setup and I have it setup where when you click on a thumbnail it takes you to another page with the picture on it. I reset permalinks in my settings and the problem I have is when I click on the thumbnail instead of taking me to the proper page, it simply resets me to the same thumbnail page. How do I fix this?

    Hi databell,
    got a similar issue with gallery thumbnails contained in albums linking back to the album page, not to the gallery display.
    Did you determine the cause of your problem?
    Find a solution?
    Thanks, Chris

    No, never found a solution.

    OK,
    tnx for feedback.
    I have found a solution, and got a recommendation from someone else in the meantime. Since I solved the issue, I didn't try the recommendation, but will keep it in mind...

    Solution I applied:
    - Go into 'Manage Gallery', select a gallery, look at 'Gallery Settings'.
    In the dropdown menu 'Page Link to:' I selected my main gallery page, the one where all albums are displayed. This creates a subpage to link to. I don't show those additional pages in the menu (my theme allows me to chose what appears in page menus and what doesn't).
    - Goto 'Options' and select 'Activate permalinks'
    - Goto 'Gallery settings' and select 'Enable AJAX pagination'
    - Then update your permalink structure
    Et Voila! it's done.
    If it still acts stupid, logout of wp, restart the browser, come back and have a look then.

    The recommendation I got (which I didn't try anymore):
    After upgrading, in NGGallery's menu goto Reset / Uninstall and select 'Reset settings'.
    Dunno if it works but it might as it clears the slate.

    If you decide to try it, let me know if it worked for you. The more I learn, the quicker it gets for future problems...

    Ciao, Chris
