Support » Plugins » [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] No SLIDESHOW after upgrading to 1.1.0 :-(

    Hello,

    I’ve upgraded NextGen Gallery to the latest version (1.1.0) and I’m unable to use a slideshow. I’ve tried some tricks, like:
    – click on upgrade in NGG setup
    – deactivate/activate,
    – remove and recreate the slideshow,
    – finally: uninstall NGG and install from the scratch.

    No success 🙁

  • Please goto always to the gallery options -> slideshow tab (as zenkilye mentioned) and check the url to the slideshow.

    With 1.1.0 it should be moved to wp-content/uploads (normally), if not please upload it then to your upload directory. With the upcomming v1.2.0 it will be not longer located inside the plugin directory

    I was having a heck of a time with this – moving a development version of a site with NGG to two separate instances of staging and live on another box. I could not upload any images, the images would not appear, and I couldn’t fill out any of the options in the NGG admin.

    Here’s how I fixed it:

    1. First off, go to WP Settings >> Miscellaneous
    2. Check to make sure that the first field is set properly:
    1. Store uploads in this folder: wp-content/uploads
    • Next, go to NGG Gallery Settings >> Setup
    • Click the button marked “Reset settings”
    • Bingo
    • Now go back in and update your settings throughout the Gallery admin panel

    Also, don’t forget zenkilye’s tip above – for some reason, the new instances of the site wouldn’t let me use relative paths, so I had to paste in the explicit URL of the imagerotator.swf file, complete with the http://www.domain.com/wp-content/uploads/

    I’ve tried everything i’ve read above, but I still get a blank square on the slideshow widget and on the slideshow in the main page….

    my pictures are in /wp-content/gallery at the moment.

    Got it working now, needed to let the program search for the .swf file

    hmm. Having same problem all of a sudden and have explored all the fixes above – but no solution – was working, then stopped after various upgrades. current WP and ng gallery 1.4.3 – what happened!? costing a but load of time trying to figure this out!
