• Hi,

    I’m trying to use NextGen Gallery on my site, but the left/right arrows and the captions are missing – I can’t figure out why.

    For the arrows, I can’t seem to find any option for turning them on. The effect I have selected is “Shutter” although I can’t tell if changing that really makes any difference.

    For the captions, I have both title and description text filled out but neither show up 🙁

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!
    Heather

    I changed my URL, it’s:
    http://www.heathercash.com/photos/

    Also the code I’m putting in my page looks like this:
    [slideshow id=1 template=caption]

    Thanks!

    I have the same problem. No Arrows.
    Have you found a solution?

    I haven’t 🙁 Mine still sucks. I might try changing to another plugin. Let me know if you know of a better plugin for a photo gallery / slideshow…

    you are displaying slideshow, which automatically shows images only. Try using different shortcodes:

    Oh cool, thanks for the reply – just tried those ones. They are a little bit better. But it seems like there isn’t anything that does what I want (which I actually thought was pretty standard). It would be to just have the big photo (could have thumbnails on the bottom or not, either way) but with back & next arrows, and with a caption underneath the current photo. I’m really surprised there isn’t an option for that (unless I just couldn’t find it). Do you know of a slideshow plugin that does that? (Also, I’d rather it not refresh the page when it goes to the next photo)

    I am looking for the same thing. I am using the plugin with the “Advanced Custom Fields” Plugin, as well as the “Advanced Custom Fields – NextGEN Gallery Field” add-on plugin…so I cannot change the shortcode.

    My client is wanting something like this:

    With left and right arrows, captions and the little dots for controls.

    Yes exactly! That would be perfect. I don’t know how that is not offered as one of the options. It is the standard way to show photos in this world we live in!

    that is quite easy customisation – a little of JS and PHP. You have to dig into files that are inside of the ‘view’ folder.
