Hi andrewsmd87,
Thanks for downloading NextGEN Gallery Optimizer!
The plugin is an add-on to enhance, and optimize the performance of NextGEN Gallery, which is where you need to add your galleries. If you haven’t already, please grab yourself a copy from the following link…
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/
Also, if you’d like some step-by-step instructions to get your gallery up and running, here’s some I prepared earlier…

The basic version of Optimizer only supports the most popular NextGEN shortcode, [nggallery id=x], which is what you’ll most likely be using. However, if you like the plugin and want extra functionality (such as support for slideshows etc), a donation would be much appreciated.
Hope this helps!
Mark.
I feel like an idiot now. Thanks for the help. I’m just testing now, but if I do go ahead with this, I’ll be installing it for a client. What’s a fair price to donate for it? Being a developer, 5 dollars is a little on the low end in my opinion.
Hi andrewsmd87,
No worries! I’ve set the donation at a fixed $5 through the download links, but if you’d like to tip extra, there’s a donate link in the plugin page’s sidebar. Any value would be very welcome! 🙂
I set it low in the hope that everyone could afford it (because I know how that feels), but I do appreciate your comment as I’m quickly discovering it doesn’t come close to covering support, let alone further development. We’ll see how we go…
Thanks again,
Mark.
