Only works with "try to apply to all images" option??

    This plugin looks good but is driving me mad.

    I have my own theme, everything else works fine (own jQuery working dropdown menus & nivo slider, contact form 7 plugin etc etc) but nextgen will only work if the last two options in “Lightbox Effects/what must the lightbox be applied to” are used (“try to apply to all images..”)

    Any other option opens in a new window. I don’t like that “that’ll do” kind of coding as it has a tendency to break eventually, so would like to find a solution or a reason for this?

    (Can’t provide link as testing in MAMP)

    @beelzebomb – Are you using the default port (8888) installation of MAMP, or do you have it re-mapped to port 80?

    Also to note (and thanks for the tip), we have found that many instances of the bundled Nivo slider will not work when NextGEN Gallery is active but the actual current Nivo Slider plugin has been reported as working fine.

    Thanks!

    Hi, yes using port 8888. I’m not using a nivo slider plugin though, I’ve integrated the standard html option into my theme. It’s the latest one downloaded though.

    @beelzebomb Try to re-mapping localhost port to 80

    How do I do that? It doesn’t seem quite that simple. Changing the port on MAMP from 8888 to 80 and in Coda localhost setting to “Local URL: http://localhost:80” simply loses connection as WordPress still tries to connect on port 8888?

    Ok, a bit of a faff and had to reinstall WP on my localhost to get it working again but nextgen is now working ok – so not sure if it was the port (still don’t get why that would affect it? Feel free to enlighten me!) or a messed up WP install after playing around with it so much.
    Anyway, cheers.

    @beelzebomb – To be honest, I am not absolutely certain why the localhost port needs to be 80, but it is a very common setup and why I recommended using it.

    In MAMP its just a matter of a drop-down to change the setting where the MySQL port is also set to 3306 in that case (again, a common usage).

    Thanks for the follow-up responses.

    – Cais.
