Title: ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder Error Last modified: November 17, 2016 --- # ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder Error * Resolved [stewarttodd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stewarttodd/) * (@stewarttodd) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder-error/) * I inserted a gallery into a blank post using the following code and it worked fine. * `[ngg_images source="galleries" container_ids="1" gallery_width="600" gallery_height ="400" cycle_effect="fade" cycle_interval="2" show_thumbnail_link="0" thumbnail_link_text ="[Show thumbnails]" order_by="sortorder" order_direction="ASC" returns="included" maximum_entity_count="500" display_type="photocrati-nextgen_basic_slideshow"]` * I copied that code to my home page, and instead of the slide show I get the following displaying on my home page: * ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Thread Starter [stewarttodd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stewarttodd/) * (@stewarttodd) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder-error/#post-8450453) * Forgot to add that I am using the Avada theme. * [digitalheights](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digitalheights/) * (@digitalheights) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder-error/#post-8454262) * I’m having this same issue with a widget. I’ve discovered that it is because none of the NextGen Gallery scripts are loading on that page, while they ARE loading on other pages of the site. (The shortcode is in a widget). * I’ve checked NextGen options and functions.php within the theme but can’t find how anything to indicate that NextGen was excluded from loading on a particular page or pages. * What triggers it to be loaded? * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder-error/#post-8454406) * [@digitalheights](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digitalheights/) – Please start your own topic so we can try to help you with your specific issue on your specific site. * See [http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post) * Thanks! * – Cais. * PS: Although you might try the following (see below). * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder-error/#post-8454422) * [@stewarttodd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stewarttodd/) – Unfortunately the Avada theme is becoming problematic again, especially with their new Fusion Builder but we are trying to work together to sort out those issues although they may not be directly related. * As it is, the shortcode placeholder reference may be pointing to a resource manage conflict and may be possibly worked around with the following added to the theme’s functions.php file: * `add_filter( 'run_ngg_resource_manager', '__return_false' );` * Thanks! * – Cais. * [digitalheights](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digitalheights/) * (@digitalheights) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder-error/#post-8454463) * Thanks Cais, * Will do.
