I’m sorry that uploads are still broken for you!
That looks like the uploader is expecting a JSON response but it’s getting something else, that’s usually caused by having WP_DEBUG on which can make PHP notices or warnings be mixed in with what is supposed to be formatted data.
If you change to the Network tab in the browser tools and click on the XHR request to upload an image is there anything in the “Response” sub-tab?
Sorry that didn’t work!
There’s only a couple of things I can think of to try:
– Make sure there are spaces before the opening[and after the closing]
– Is it possibly a language thing? Maybe try changing the site language to English briefly. I’ve tried changing my test site to ru_RU and didn’t have any problems, but there can be many variables.
– Was the shortcode copy / pasted? You may have special characters that look like quotation marks (“) but are stylized and aren’t treated as quotes; it can appear correct but not be code-correct.I am guessing that you have so many galleries that our ‘select a gallery’ chooser is making your browser hang. I’ll try to include an option in our next release to use a normal <select> which will be faster but not as friendly.
Until then; you could setup your display with choosing a gallery, click “Insert Gallery”, then edit the block (“Edit as HTML”) and add
ids="X"inside the resulting shortcode. It’s not friendly by any means, but it should work.It depends on which album type you are using, but you’ll need some CSS in your theme or applied via the WordPress designer applied to that title element:
text-transform: none;There is no limit to the number of galleries that can be created with NextGEN Gallery; but it is possible to run out of database or disk space quotas provided by your hosting service. I’ve seen a few users with tens of thousands of galleries, most of which had a thousand or more images each.
This is a side effect of our new image uploader; because it allows multiple parallel uploads to process at once it’s possible for smaller images to finish before larger ones which will cause this problem.
Unfortunately I don’t have an easy solution for you, but if you’re comfortable with some simple code editing: you’ll need to edit nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_addgallery_page/templates/upload_images.php and on line 150 change
limit: 6,tolimit: 1,I’ve made a note to make this an option in some way in a future release.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] TagsTo create an image tag all you need is to write the name of that tag into any image tags list when managing a gallery.
That sounds like you may have NextGEN Plus uploaded more than once; I recommend double checking to ensure you only have a single NextGEN Plus installed and active.
That sounds like NextGEN isn’t active in WordPress. If it is active and still not rendering shortcodes you may need to add the following code to your wp-config.php:
define('NGG_DISABLE_FILTER_THE_CONTENT', TRUE);If that does not help I can only suggest briefly replacing your site theme and/or deactivating your other plugins in case there is a conflict.
I believe you are correct that we are the only plugin that does not store images in the Media Library. As I understand it (I may be wrong) NGG actually predates the Media Library.
Unfortunately at the moment we do not have any kind of CDN support, but I have seen third party caching plugins that work by using output buffering to catch any images being served to browsers, upload them to a CDN, and then replace the content before sending it to the browser. This can make the initial page load pretty painful but afterwards it will result in NGG images being served by a CDN. I cannot say when it will be ready but CDN support is something we are working on.
Could you share a demo page of your site? I would be curious to see if I can diagnose a cause to your scrolling issues.
I haven’t seen other reports of this happening; can you share what that fatal error is please?
This sounds like a problem due to the most recent WordPress / jQuery updates. Is your NextGEN & NGG Pro up to date?
It is also possible for third party code extend jQuery’s animations and effects which could be responsible: activating the “Enable jQuery MigrateHelper” plugin could be a temporary bandage until authors have had more time to catch up and update their code.
There could be a few possible causes:
Did you previously have NextGEN Plus or Pro? If so that could be the result of trying to display one of their added display types without having the plugin active.
If you now use or have used custom templates it could happen if those template files are moved, if you deploy your site to a new server, or otherwise change the absolute path to the base WordPress install.
I suggest checking the custom template setting, I suspect that will be the cause.
Are you using PHP 8.0? We’ve just today released NextGEN 3.5.0 which fixes several PHP 8 compatibility issues, including one that could break image uploads.
To find older releases: you can see our release history on the Development tab of our plugin page and use those version numbers with the “Download” link above to find the URL of any past release zip: our new release is at https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/nextgen-gallery.3.5.0.zip but if you replace “3.5.0” with “3.3.20” you’ll get that version delivered.
It appears that something on your site (I can’t tell if it is plugin or theme) is trying to use a jQuery method that has since been removed in a recent WordPress update.
If your WordPress, NextGEN, and other plugins are all up to date you may need to install the “Enable jQuery Migrate Helper” plugin, it should provide a kind of temporary bandage until the author of the cause of the problem updates their code.
