I was attempting to read through the forum but seems like I can't find the answer. if you look at my pagePat Tucker You will see that the nextgen slideshow widget isn't loading the images. All it shows is the rotating circle.
Does anyone know what might be causing this problem? I don't have any other plug ins added yet so I don't think it's a conflict. I've used this on other pages but never had this problem before.
HELP!

I've just resolved the same error with the help of the following thread:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-slideshow-not-working-with-161-and-162
Have you installed the jw_image_rotator? If so, check that you are using the full URL (http://...)

This is really brutal! Spent days trying to get nexgen image rotation to work, no luck. New WP setup with eveningshade theme. There is no clear instructions on what and how to get this to work.
What I've done so far:
-install nexgen gallery
-download images, create galleries and albums
-install imagerotator.swf in: http://www.aspenridge.ca/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/imagerotator.swf
-insert path to imagerotator as above,
-insert slideshow tag in static page.
Result is a rotating circle.
Just to get to here took me days (many hours) and it really should not have. I think this is poor coding. The author really should know that many people are going to struggle with getting this to work.
Any help out there is hugely appreciated.

Hi, had the same problem and did a site specific fix for it.
The problem seems to be that the plugin loads the javascipt files in the wrong order or the wrong way.
What i did to fix it was link to the scripts directly in the header, below the header tag.
The tags should look like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/js/jquery.cycle.all.js?ver=3.0.3"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/js/ngg.slideshow.js?ver=3.0.3"></script>Put that below you <?php wp_head(); ?> tag in the header for your theme, with "mydomain.com" replaced with your domain-name, and it should work.

Be more specific. Which file are you talking about, there are many.
I don't want to assume anything.
Cheers,
Gary.

The header file for you theme.
It should be in folder wp-content->themes->'the theme your using'. And be named header.php
Posted 1 year ago #
When you say 'below the header tag', I don't see any tag spelt 'header'! Do you mean the </head> tag?
Gary.
Posted 1 year ago #
He means below the <?php wp_head(); ?> in the <head></head> section. If you don't have that in your header you can add it if you want. Put the 2 scripts below that. If you're still not sure where to put it, make it the last thing before the </head> tag.
I forgot to mention, it fixed the problem for me. Thanks MarcusO!

Darn, not working. I'll post the contents of the header.php file for the theme I'm using (eveningshade). I also double checked the path, file name and spelling and everything looks correct in the script (FYI, my WordPress is in docroot/wp).
As you can see, if you go to http://www.aspenridge.ca/gallery, I still get the rotating ball.

I am stuck too :(. But this plugin is a marvelous one. As i am using my scanned books in this plugin since last couple of years and it was working very fine. Last week i just upgraded the plugins and this happened to me too. Now there is only rotating icon and nothing else.
BTW i cant remove the plugin and reinstall it again bcoz im using thousands of images and have spent lot of time for their custom sorting. Last year once i'd to reinstall the plugin and had to repeat the practice of custom sorting the pics that took my several days :(
Please HELP to get rid of this rotating icon only instead of my pictures.
HELP.

Hi MarcusO!
I tried your method, but unfortunately it didn't work in my case :(

Great plugin, and great job but...
I noticed weird problem when I install Custom Contact Form-plugin.
Nextgen-gallery stops working on my sidebar. It just shows me the spinning loading circle. Have anyone encountered to this same problem?

Unless the author fixes this, it's going to stay broken. If you want it to work, follow Chewbakka's instructions above.
-Download the ImageRotat0r plugin.
-Place in your wp-content/uploads folder (don't necessarily need the PDF file, or the JPGs and their XML, but definitely the SWFs.
-Go to your Gallery Admin panel, select Options, then the Slideshow tab
-Scroll down to the settings for the ImageRotator and hit the search button. It should find your new files.
-Change any of the settings for the slideshow, such as the background color used behind the images, etc.
Worked like a charm!

Thanks it worked like a charm

As you said worked like a charm. Now the only issue is that the slideshow cuts the bottom off of my images, no matter which settings I use. Turned off stretch and tried all of those settings, set the size to the size of the images and even tried it larger. After all of those changes, I can tell it simply wants to justify all of the image about 10 pixel below the bottom edge no matter what size or stretch setting I use. Any ideas? I'm going to also post this to the other forum.
Much appreciated
Randy

Haven't seen that yet!
Have you done anything to your style sheet that may have changed the positions of items on your website?
Include a link to the site/page with the issue so we can see what you mean.

If anyone wants to add a sidebar slideshow (widget), download the JJ NextGen JQuery Cycle.
It is also very smart phone/tablet friendly. No flash is needed.

I've tried all this (chooseamc points) right from the get go. This has been the issue, doesn't work! There's something else going on here with this plugin! I have no where to turn.

Another thing, the only thing that works is 'insert NextGEN gallery' Image list and Imagebrowser. Not only does the slideshow not work but under the 'album' tab, if I insert an album, nothing happens on the page load.
Would appreciate any help.
Cheers,

Garball - wondering if something isn't installed right?
When you say "insert an album" what have you done to insert it?
Posted 1 year ago #
In Pages, there's an icon on the menu bar far right above the visual/html box that was added with NextGEN gallery. It's the 'Add NextGEN gallery' icon. It then inserts a bit of code in your page depending on the selection taken for adding the gallery (ie: [nggallery id=2]).
I wish there was an error log to refer to! I'm new to WP (but love it)

Garball - I'm surprised my steps above aren't working for you. I had the exact same error. I just think slideshow will NOT work without either the ImageRotator plugin or the JJ NextGen plugin mentioned above. Got to have one or the other (not sure if there is a conflict by having both).
When you "insert an album" is the icon (or are you) putting in the shortcode? [album id=1]
Did you drag/drop the gallery you want onto the album in the Album menu of NexGen (bottom left of main left side menu)?
Posted 1 year ago #
Same problem with the album - clicking on and album goes nowhere. Had it working in the same page as the album for a minute and but there was no way to get back to the album view intuitively - so i tried to link the galleries from the album into a page and got nothing ....
back now to clicking and going nowhere on the album.... someone help!!
