Slideshow shortcode conflict? "Gallery not found. Please check your settings."

    I’m getting a “Gallery not found.” error, which seems to be using the NGG phrasing, but the little NGG documentation of the “slideshow” shortcode does not match the syntax which is in the site’s posts.

    It appears NGG has hijacked the slideshow shortcode, so the Duotive-Two theme cannot use it. How do I tell NGG to not use the slideshow shortcode?

    [slideshow type=”fade”] [slide width=”300″ height=”300″]http://beijobags.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/a8710EBB.jpg[/slide] [slide width=”300″ height=”300″]http://beijobags.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/8710EBB.jpg[/slide] [/slideshow]

    @roamfree – Based on the shortcode example you are showing that would be the correct message I would expect to see since there is no gallery defined in the [slideshow] shortcode parameters.

    The current NextGEN Gallery shortcode would be more along the lines of:
    [ngg_images gallery_ids="1" display_type="photocrati-nextgen_basic_slideshow" cycle_effect="fade"]

    If this is a conflict between your theme and the NextGEN Gallery plugin then please feel free to submit a Bug Report (http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/ … please reference this topic) with your site specifics.

    Thanks!

    It’s too bad that there seems to be no way to see which shortcodes have been registered with WP by which plugins. This topic marked as resolved, because it seems to be due to an interaction between NGG and something else. (I am aware that WP itself also has a slideshow shortcode, so there is a generic conflict issue out there.)

    There is no slideshow shortcode in WordPress by default.

    There is no slideshow shortcode in WordPress by default.

    There is a slideshow shortcode listed here:

    Hi RoamFree
    The link you’ve put there for shortcodes is for WordPress.com which is a resource of hosted WordPress blogs and sites, WordPress.org is the place where you can get the WordPress software to install on your own hosting. There are differences between them.

    Thanks, I had not noticed that is WordPress.com documentation. But the conflict between NGG’s old slideshow shortcode and other slideshow shortcodes remains. Because NGG’s slideshow shortcode is being deprecated, it would be nice if NGG would avoid registration of the shortcode if a shortcode is already registered. … not that there is any reliable order of registration and thus the behavior is unpredictable.

    @roamfree – If necessary, it is possible to tell NextGEN Gallery to not recognize the [slideshow] shortcode.

    Try this: https://gist.github.com/Cais/7309380 in your theme’s functions.php or add as a custom plugin to your installation.
