Title: NextGen Gallery – Slideshow problem Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # NextGen Gallery – Slideshow problem * [alanthonyc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alanthonyc/) * (@alanthonyc) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-gallery-slideshow-problem/) * I have installed NextGen Gallery and I have been able to display galleries. However, when I try the slideshow, nothing appears on the page. * I uploaded the “imagerotator.swf” (which I got from longtail) into the NextGen Gallery folder, but it still doesn’t display. * Here’s the code I used (I’m assuming width and height are in pixels): `[slideshow id=1 w=100 h=50]` Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 19 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-gallery-slideshow-problem/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-gallery-slideshow-problem/page/2/?output_format=md) * [robradcliffe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robradcliffe/) * (@robradcliffe) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-gallery-slideshow-problem/#post-985138) * I think in newer versions of next gen, the slideshow size is determined in the settings – I tried the code you used and nothing showed, but it worked fine using just [slideshow id=1] (insert number of gallery you want to use!) * [audirs2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/audirs2/) * (@audirs2) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-gallery-slideshow-problem/#post-985142) * I’ve tried both of this but no luck on mine. Can get picture list either * [philpeter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philpeter/) * (@philpeter) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-gallery-slideshow-problem/#post-985144) * I have the same issue. Could be a WP 2.7.1 issue as the plugin hasn’t been tested on that yet. * [gnocchi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gnocchi/) * (@gnocchi) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-gallery-slideshow-problem/#post-985163) * I got the same problem and here how I fixed it: * 1. Download imagerotator package from the link provided in Gallery/Options/Slideshow in the Dashboard. * 2. Upload the content of the downloaded folder imagerotator into wp-content/uploads. Remember all the files should be in wp-content/uploads, NOT in wp-content/uploads/ imagerotator. I know they said you can upload it to wp-content/uploads or a subfolder, but I tried with the subfolder option and it didn’t work. * 3. Go back to Gallery/Options/Slideshow in the Dashboard, and click on the button Search Now, it should provide you the Path to the Imagerotator (URL): [http://yourdomainname/blog/wp-content/uploads/imagerotator.swf](http://yourdomainname/blog/wp-content/uploads/imagerotator.swf) * 4. The slideshow should be working now. * [cybershot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cybershot/) * (@cybershot) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-gallery-slideshow-problem/#post-985165) * I tried all of your stuff and it still don’t work for me. I have everything in place. I got an error that said, gallery not found. But it is there. * [tomasi514](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomasi514/) * (@tomasi514) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-gallery-slideshow-problem/#post-985169) * I have same problem, I found the path when I installed the website locally on my computer, now it is online, I changed path but WordPress Cannot find the imagerotator. swf file.

Can you precise what auto upgrade you talk about? WordPress or the gallery plugin? In any case, are there upgrade that are not validated by website owner? * [dudeharris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dudeharris/) * (@dudeharris) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-gallery-slideshow-problem/#post-985277) * gnocchi’s instruction worked just fine. * [bonsaigreg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bonsaigreg/) * (@bonsaigreg) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-gallery-slideshow-problem/#post-985280) * I followed gnocchi too and it worked for me.
