 * Good afternoon all
 * I am having a problem with Nextgen. I want to add a gallery to a page, but when
   i select “Add nextgen gallery” and the box pops up, i cannot actually select 
   a gallery.
 * It just sits there with a loading icon when i click the dropdown menu.
 * I am using the latest version of wordpress and nextgen.
 * Anyone got any ideas as to what the problem might be?
 * Thanks to anyone that helps

 * I’ve had this happen, sometimes you can click it while it’s loading and the list
   drops down.
 * I re-installed 1.9.0 over 1.9.2, it’s less buggy and more reliable good luck.

 * i have just re-installed 1.9.0 after uninstalling 1.9.2 but have had absolutely
   no joy whatsoever.
 * It still sits there waiting after i have clicked the drop down arrow.
 * anyone else got any ideas? This is really annoying me

 * Anyone else got any ideas about this one, i cant do anything with the site (photography)
   unless i use nextgen.
 * Is there an alternative that i could use that would work for a slideshow?

 * Have you tried using just the shortcode, instead of using “Add Media–>NextGEN
   Gallery” dropdown menu?
 * Put these in your page where you want the gallery:
 * [nggallery id=6]
 * or
 * [nggallery id=1 template=caption]
 * Let me know if that helps.

 * that should be [nggallery id=1] – for your first gallery, each one you create
   will be sequentially numbered.

 * pshag, that worked brilliantly actually. Just a pain not being able to select
   them from the drop down.
 * Whilst on the subjest, i have inserted a gallery as a home page slider, but it
   is sitting to the left of the content area. Any idea how to center the gallery?

 * No. I asked that question just before I saw yours. Maybe you can bump mine and
   ask the question there:

 * You should mark this one as resolved. Glad to be able to help.
