 * [@jakob1975](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakob1975/), that’s because 
   your site doesn’t load ngg-image thumbnails but display the attach_to_post/preview.
   
   What happens with a WordPress default theme activated and all other plugins deactivated?
   This is a necessary step to investigate any conflict.

 * Hi
 * Thanks for your answer
 * I have tried to disable all my plugins and it did not make any change.
    But I
   have I have made a clean installation on another website but with the same theme
   and it works! see here – [http://naturtekniksiden.dk/sample-page/](http://naturtekniksiden.dk/sample-page/)
 * Do you have any idea why it works on a clean installation and it do not work 
   on my other website??
 * Hope you have an idea:-)

 * [@jakob1975](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakob1975/) I don’t think your
   two installations are perfectly identical. Probably in your production site you
   haven’t tested in the right way, e.g. in the page that works I don’t see the 
   SEO plugin activated as in the other, and in the page that doesn’t work also 
   social icons and menu and title icons doesn’t work, so it seems that some stylesheets
   and js scripts aren’t loaded.
    You have to deactivate all of your other plugins
   at once, clear browser cache completely, update the page. Also, I see that you
   have a cache plugin, so _before_ this operation you have to empty all your site
   caches via that plugin. With any plugins activated but NextGEN, caches emptied(
   site and browser), update the page and it should works. If not, deactivate your
   current theme too and activate one of WordPress default theme, and in this basic
   situation it should works. After this test you’ll know for sure if something 
   is in conflict, or if you have to investigate at another level.

 * I’m having this same problem at [http://artifactually.net](http://artifactually.net)
   under the paintings link.
 * I’ve put it in the default theme and I’ve deactivated all plugins but the NextGen
   gallery one.
 * Any help will be appreciated. I’m just trying to put in a gallery that will give
   me a good lightbox without much trouble. On my full site (denisephilipbar.com),
   all of my images are already loaded so want a gallery that I can just import 
   them into or will take advantage of them already being uploaded.
 * I’m using the artifactually.net address as an incubator for my main site and 
   trying to find a good gallery plug in to show my art in the best way. So far,
   I’ve been frustrated by either clunky interfaces, being forced in re-uploading
   all the images, or getting them to work.
 * Thanks,
    Denise
 * PS, I’d rather be making art but can’t afford to hire someone. So, be nice 🙂
 * PSS, Maybe you need this too?

 * [@denisephilipbar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denisephilipbar/), the
   issues are similar but they could not have the same cause, so everyone gets the
   most appropriate attention in their own topic.
    To both I may further suggest
   to try another lightbox effect among those available, but please [@denisephilipbar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denisephilipbar/)
   open your own topic, as per the forum rules.

 * [@jakob1975](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakob1975/) – Something in your
   site is changing the expected placeholder `<img>` tag which is most likely causing
   this issue.
 * Although I cannot say what it specifically may be, it may be sorted out by a 
   patch we have just created. Please send a Bug Report ([http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/](http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/)…
   please reference this topic) with your site specifics so we can get the file 
   out to you.
 * [@tizz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tizz/) – Thanks!
 * [@denisephilipbar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denisephilipbar/) – Please
   follow [@tizz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tizz/)’s suggestion, although
   if you want to send a Bug Report for the patch file you are welcome.

 * Hi Cais – I have send a bug report – do you have an idea why my site change the
   expected placeholder the code that nextgen put in my site is – <img class=”ngg_displayed_gallery
   mceItem” src=”[http://naturteknologi.dk/nextgen-attach_to_post/preview/id–284&#8243](http://naturteknologi.dk/nextgen-attach_to_post/preview/id–284&#8243);
   alt=”” />
 * [@tizz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tizz/) – thanks a lot for your help,
   I tried to deactivate all my plugins and emptied (site and browser) caches but
   it did not change anything. I tried to install a lightbox effect on one of my
   sites and it worked – [http://www.naturteknologi.dk/kontakt/](http://www.naturteknologi.dk/kontakt/)
   As you can see, I also tried to install Nextgen slideshow in the sidebar and 
   it also worked.
 * I hope you still have an idea on what I should do.

 * [@jakob1975](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakob1975/) – What specifically,
   no. We generate a XHTML compliant `<img>` tag and we currently read for that 
   specific tag. Some plugins and/or themes are changing that tag to a HTML compliant
   format (we do not know which ones specifically just that those are the only options
   we can think of).
 * We have adjusted our code to read the tag differently so this will not be an 
   issue with releases 2.0.67 and greater.
