   I'm new to NextGen (and to photo galleries in general). I installed the plug-in, created a new gallery, and uploaded four photos, each previously resized to 640 width. On the page that has the [nggallery id=1] tag (currently, and only temporarily, http://rime.aos.wisc.edu/gpetty2/personal/hobbies/photography)
   I get empty boxes with the filenames instead of thumbnails.

   I'm using WP 3.1.2, Firefox 4.0.1, under Mac OS X 10.6.6.

   Per the FAQ, I deleted 'max-width: 100%;' from what I took to be the logical place (see below), but no change:

   #content img.size-auto,
   #content img.size-large,
   #content img.size-full,
   #content img.size-medium,
   #content img.size-thumbnail,
   .attachment img {
           max-width: 100%;
   	width: auto;
   	height: auto;
   }

   If the problem doesn't seem easily debuggable, can anyone recommend another plug-in? I'm not well-versed in PHP, CSS, etc. -- I'm looking for a basic gallery plug-in that works out of the box with my setup. Thanks!

   Additional information and corrections:

   1) I remembered that even though I'm accessing/editing the WP site from my Mac, the site is actually hosted on a Linux system.

   2) I discovered that the thumbnail image files aren't being created at all -- the my-photos directory contains the uploaded images, but the thumbnails subdirectory is empty.

   I don't know how the thumbnails are created, so I don't know whether the plug-in is assuming that a particular external utility is available on the Linux machine. ImageMagick is present, but I'm not sure whether it's relevant.

   Solved: In options, I switched from GD to ImageMagick and changed the path from /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin

   Thumbnails are now generated.

   Hello,
   I encounter the same problem but could not solve it by changing the path.
   Here's a link to the album page that works pretty well but certain galleries do not show up.
   Thanks for any suggestions.
