Title: Problem with Generated URLs Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Problem with Generated URLs * Resolved [uraster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/uraster/) * (@uraster) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-generated-urls/) * I am using NextGEN for the first time. I added a NextGEN Basic Thumbnails on my page. The page URL is: [http://mysite.com/gallery/photos](http://mysite.com/gallery/photos) and the first page of photos shows just fine. There is a second page and correspondingly the buttons for page 2 and for next page. However they have wrong URLS: – Page 2: [http://mysite.com/gallery/photos/gallery/photos/nggallery/page/2/](http://mysite.com/gallery/photos/gallery/photos/nggallery/page/2/)– Next page: [http://mysite.com/gallery/photos/gallery/photos/nggallery/page/2/](http://mysite.com/gallery/photos/gallery/photos/nggallery/page/2/) * You can see how the part “gallery/photos” is repeated twice. This is the same with the link [Show slideshow] above the pictures. * Any idea why the generated URLs are incorrect and how I can fix that? * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/nextgen-gallery/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/nextgen-gallery/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 25 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-generated-urls/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-generated-urls/page/2/?output_format=md) * [moryde](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moryde/) * (@moryde) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-generated-urls/#post-4555565) * Link to the site we a talking about? * Thread Starter [uraster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/uraster/) * (@uraster) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-generated-urls/#post-4555566) * [http://ludi-mladi.ch/de/galerien/bilder/](http://ludi-mladi.ch/de/galerien/bilder/) * Thread Starter [uraster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/uraster/) * (@uraster) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-generated-urls/#post-4555567) * It’s hosted on a public host service, Linux environment with Plex Desk.

The gallery page is [http://www.taduperi.be/galeries](http://www.taduperi.be/galeries), it shows an album just fine, and the galleries are listed. Though if you enter one of the galeries, it adds /nggallery/galerie-2/ in the link, and the link to the galeries in the menu to the left is changed to [http://www.taduperi.be/galeries/nggallery/galerie-2/](http://www.taduperi.be/galeries/nggallery/galerie-2/). * I really don’t understand where those directories come from.. * And I don’t use qTranslate. * Thread Starter [uraster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/uraster/) * (@uraster) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-generated-urls/#post-4555626) * I don’t think that’s exactly the same issue. I think NextGEN Gallery will add those parts in your example to show what has to be displayed and it should also handle them (but as far as I can see here as well, it doesn’t). * Strange that nobody seems to know about those problems that arise in the very first use of the plugin, although it seems to be very popular and regarded as very good. * [anagram@glossolalie.be](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anagramglossolaliebe/) * (@anagramglossolaliebe) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-generated-urls/#post-4555628) * I was thinking it was the same issue as there are folders added to the links which shouldn’t be there..

Is it possible to have “Post name” permlinks with NextGEN Gallery? * About anagram’s problem: when I have the permlinks set to “Post name” and some configuration of NextGEN Gallery (not sure which one any more because it was when I was trying it out) I got the exact same issue as him, so maybe his can be solved in the same way. But you are correct, it is a separate one. * [tizz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tizz/) * (@tizz) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-generated-urls/#post-4555639) * > Is it possible to have “Post name” permlinks with NextGEN Gallery? * Yes, but how about the things I suggested above? * Thread Starter [uraster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/uraster/) * (@uraster) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-generated-urls/#post-4555640) * tizz: * > Try this: set permalinks to default, save, refresh, clear cache and see if > it works – then set again your custom permalinks. * uraster: * > Yes, you were correct, there was a permlink setting: “Post name”.

Setting it back to “Post name” breaks it again. * Unfortunately it is not possible for me to go back to default theme and remove all plugins, etc. because I will have to redo everything from the beginning. * I think those were all suggestions, or am I missing something? * [tizz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tizz/) * (@tizz) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-generated-urls/#post-4555642) * [@uraster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/uraster/) Activate default theme and deactivate (not remove) all plugins (except Nextgen) is a standard common practice used by millions to test any possible conflict, and doesn’t destroy anything. Once done, clear cache and you’ll see if all works as expected. If it works, reactivate one by one (theme and plugins) checking every time until you find the culprit.
