@yvesadams – I would recommend updating to the current release of NextGEN Gallery … from there we may be able to sort out any issues that may still exist.
Thanks!

Dear Cais,
I tried updating NextGen, but the whole site crashed (and at first it went very slow…). I don’t dare to try it again, as it took several days trying to fix it (and eventually downgrading it again to an older version).

My question 1 is mainly solved by changing this in gallery.php:
– deleting <h2><?php echo $album->name?></h2>
– adding <h3><?php echo $gallery->title; ?></h3><div class=”ngg-galleryoverview” id=”ngg-gallery-<?php echo $gallery->ID ?>”>
Then there is just 1 detail which I could’nt yet solve.
Here the titles and back button are nicely aligned left:

Here they are aligned in the center:
http://www.yvesadams.be/photo/gallery/?album=10&gallery=3
Does somebody have an idea how to solve this? I would like to have them aligned left.
On my question 2 and 3 I couldn’t find any solution yet.
Thanks!
Sophie
@yvesadams – We do not support very old NextGEN Legacy versions (1.19.13 and older) in any manner at this time (we do not even recommend their use).
It is unfortunate you are having issues with the current NextGEN Gallery but we do wish you all the best going forward. Please do keep in mind the latest versions of NextGEN Gallery are more secure and robust … it may just require updating and activating NextGEN Gallery after deactivating all other plugins and temporarily switching to a default WordPress Twenty series theme first.
Thanks!

Dear Cais,
It seems that the update worked out fine, that is a big relief :)!
So now we can continue. Some of my previous questions are solved by itself (like the back button is gone, but that is ok).
So these are the questions that I have:
1) By updating, I lost the white background when you look at a single picture (it’s translucent now). How can I get this back to white?
2) In Manage Gallery, the title of the picture is standard filled in (alt & title text). I would like to have this empty. Now I manually delete all these titles (like for instance, if you hover over a thumbnail you can see “ys9_7090_20120205_kroeskoppelikaan.jpg” which is not nice).
It would be very time saving if ‘alt & title text) would be empty from the start. Is this possible? Or to take away the hovering over a thumbnail can be another good (maybe easier) solution.
With updating Nextgen, all the titles that I have manually removed are back again unfortunately.
Thank you a lot!

OK, you can forget question nr 1 :)). I have found back the old css and to my surprise it immediately worked.
Another question came up:
3) Internet explorer: http://www.yvesadams.be/photo/gallery/ , the album looks really bad (they are all next to each other on 2 lines). Chrome and explorer are displaying the site how it should be.
@yvesadams – Removing the “title” tool-tip would require you creating a custom template to not add that detail to the display of images. We include it as we believe this is the most correct method to render the <img> tag.
As to the issue with Internet Explorer … I’m seeing it but with the right viewport size it would not be noticeable; and, there is a horizontal scroll bar as well which would have me think there may be a theme component in this as your menu also appears to be absolutely positioned (or something similar) which Internet Explorer is then allowing for a much wider content section than what you can see.
