"5. The slideshow didn’t work. I only see the message “The Flash Player and a browser with Javascript needed..”, but everything is installed and activated.
Make sure you have the following in your template. (It’s in the original WP index.php template, but if you’re creating your own, you may have forgotten to include it) :
<?php wp_head(); ?>
That line would go in between your <HEAD> </HEAD> tags"

OK I tried that and no change.
"It’s in the original WP index.php template", is this the theme template?
Also switched to Default Theme and a slide show did run. Looked in that theme index.php and could not find <?php wp_head(); ?>
Not familiar with programming and codes, just learning how.
Thanks for the help,
John

Hi,
ok thats just not totally correct what i cited from alex - maybe his faq page needs adjustment, but now were on the right path (i guess and hope). Most of the time its in the head .. no i mean the header.php of your theme there you should find <?php wp_head(); ?> if not then put it just before the closing tag of head: </head>.

HI: Back again. OK Things are working but I can only get one type slide show to run, have no other choices and that one does not seem to run good. If you go to the below link and click on one of the photos in upper right it comes up in the slide show I would like to use.
http://alexrabe.boelinger.com/wordpress-plugins/nextgen-gallery/faq/
How do I get these templates, or are they installed wrong or do they have to be placed in a particular location. Looked through my files and did not see them.

Hi,
theres no (flash)slideshow on that page - i think you´d like to have that popup like javascript overlay effect allowing browsing through the gallery pics. The one that is used there has to be installed as wp plugin an ngg has to be configured to use it it can be found here http://www.laptoptips.ca/projects/wp-shutter-reloaded/

Hi,
ist the plugin active on that blog? Because i cannot find lines like:
<link rel='stylesheet' href='http://awaytogarden.com/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/shutter/shutter-reloaded.css?ver=1.3.0' type='text/css' media='screen' />and
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://awaytogarden.com/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/shutter/shutter-reloaded.js?ver=1.3.0'></script>inside the generated html source of your blog (examples taken from the link you provided as example) these should be put by the activated plugin automatically inside the <head> </head> area.
best regards

HI Bee:
When I View these two links appear just above the Thumbnails,
Can they be turned off or deleted and still be able to click on Thumbnail to activate ??
[Show as slideshow]
[View with PicLens]
Gone to Work will be back this evening in about 7 hours. So no hurry.
Off tomorrow also so may not work on blog for a couple of days.
Thanks,
John

Hi,
[Show as slideshow] can be switched off there: admin->gallery->options->gallery there you deselect use slideshow
[View with PicLens] this one there admin->gallery->options->general deselect to use cooliris/piclens.
this should not affect the shutter.
best regards

Hi
I have the same problem as discussed in this thread, yet i still have the problem.
What i have found though is this:
I have a custom js for my home page that runs a timer. I call my timer function from the body onload. When I do this, shutter does not work. When i take out the onload, shutter works.
I have no idea why this is happening or what a possible work around is.
Any ideas?

Ok, so this problem continues with the shutter that comes with NGG.
I added the shutter reloaded plugin and activated it and I no longer have this problem.
Still strange the original shutter behaves this way.
