I’m simply not able to reproduce this issue on any of my test sites so I am at a loss if you say there are no plugins conflicting in this case as well. * – Cais. * Thread Starter [Inget Namn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lennart-pettersson/) * (@lennart-pettersson) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-widget-not-working/#post-5326310) * No I have no custom css at all.

I disabled other widgets and no conflict. I recreated thumbnails but that was not the issue. * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-widget-not-working/#post-5326363) * [@inget](https://wordpress.org/support/users/inget/) Namn – After another closer look at your site I see you are using the Secondary widget area in Twenty Thirteen. Adding that to my test environment does reproduce this issue (sorry for not noticing that before). * Now, after some trial and error I have a solution (and to be honest I am not certain which is more to blame Twenty Thirteen or NextGEN Gallery) which is to add some custom CSS to correct for this issue. * `#ngg-webslice > div > a > img { max-width: none; }` * I tested that by adding it under Gallery > Other Options > Style … you can probably add it under any other custom CSS such as the one available with Jetpack, it should still work. * The CSS should be specific enough that it will not interfere with anything else but if you need to add more specificity you should be able to do so by appending` aside.widgets.ngg-images` to the above. * Thanks! * – Cais. * Thread Starter [Inget Namn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lennart-pettersson/) * (@lennart-pettersson) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-widget-not-working/#post-5326366) * That worked! Thank you very much for your help! Any ideas how to get them lined up side by side? * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-widget-not-working/#post-5326367) * [@inget](https://wordpress.org/support/users/inget/) Namn – That would most likely be a theme related issue in this case. The theme controls the width of the widget area. * You can either look into customizing the widget area width(s), or you could alternately choose a much smaller thumbnail size so you will have more columns. * – Cais. * Thread Starter [Inget Namn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lennart-pettersson/) * (@lennart-pettersson) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-widget-not-working/#post-5326368) * Much appreciated.
