I’ve just resolved the same error with the help of the following thread:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-slideshow-not-working-with-161-and-162
Have you installed the jw_image_rotator? If so, check that you are using the full URL (http://…)
yeah I can’t even find the plug in to download. I’m trying to find it now.
It’s in the doc on Alex’s webiste (I know, a bit difficult to get there…)
Alex’s
Here’s the direct link: JW_Image_Rotator
This is really brutal! Spent days trying to get nexgen image rotation to work, no luck. New WP setup with eveningshade theme. There is no clear instructions on what and how to get this to work.
What I’ve done so far:
-install nexgen gallery
-download images, create galleries and albums
-install imagerotator.swf in: http://www.aspenridge.ca/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/imagerotator.swf
-insert path to imagerotator as above,
-insert slideshow tag in static page.
Result is a rotating circle.
Just to get to here took me days (many hours) and it really should not have. I think this is poor coding. The author really should know that many people are going to struggle with getting this to work.
Any help out there is hugely appreciated.
Gary.
Hi, had the same problem and did a site specific fix for it.
The problem seems to be that the plugin loads the javascipt files in the wrong order or the wrong way.
What i did to fix it was link to the scripts directly in the header, below the header tag.
The tags should look like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/js/jquery.cycle.all.js?ver=3.0.3"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/js/ngg.slideshow.js?ver=3.0.3"></script>
Put that below you <?php wp_head(); ?> tag in the header for your theme, with “mydomain.com” replaced with your domain-name, and it should work.
Be more specific. Which file are you talking about, there are many.
I don’t want to assume anything.
Cheers,
Gary.
The header file for you theme.
It should be in folder wp-content->themes->’the theme your using’. And be named header.php
When you say ‘below the header tag’, I don’t see any tag spelt ‘header’! Do you mean the </head> tag?
Gary.
He means below the <?php wp_head(); ?> in the <head></head> section. If you don’t have that in your header you can add it if you want. Put the 2 scripts below that. If you’re still not sure where to put it, make it the last thing before the </head> tag.
I forgot to mention, it fixed the problem for me. Thanks MarcusO!
Darn, not working. I’ll post the contents of the header.php file for the theme I’m using (eveningshade). I also double checked the path, file name and spelling and everything looks correct in the script (FYI, my WordPress is in docroot/wp).
As you can see, if you go to http://www.aspenridge.ca/gallery, I still get the rotating ball.

In localhost slidwshow works, but in server it loads forever.
Same issue for me. Spinning wheel forever when selecting slide show option. Tried adding the javascript code as mentioned above but no difference. Hoping someone can figure this one out.
Same here, this gallery sucks.
I am stuck too :(. But this plugin is a marvelous one. As i am using my scanned books in this plugin since last couple of years and it was working very fine. Last week i just upgraded the plugins and this happened to me too. Now there is only rotating icon and nothing else.
BTW i cant remove the plugin and reinstall it again bcoz im using thousands of images and have spent lot of time for their custom sorting. Last year once i’d to reinstall the plugin and had to repeat the practice of custom sorting the pics that took my several days 🙁
Please HELP to get rid of this rotating icon only instead of my pictures.
HELP.
