To contribute a bit more here – you can copy the media library with a mouse drag and it copies the image, file name and the attachment ID. Paste it into a text editor and your workflow is much easier.

One additional thing to add to the readme – clearly state in the beginning that there is a settings page in the admin! I did not read this, and I spent a short while snooping around the php to control the catpions/autoplay et al. Once I saw the code for the admin in the php I realized where to go. Maybe this mistake, and the media library issue I had are fundamental things I should know about WP, but the way I use it, I Don’t always look at the left toolbar and usually dive straight into the code after I check the readme.

Keep at it, simplicity and elegance are not easily achieved.

Great plugin.
Thanks again!

Thank you for the prompt reply.

I am positive the files are uploaded to that page. However, I am not clear on Attachment IDs. A thumbnail rollover (ff or safari) does not show attachment id. A search for attachment id tells me the same thing, that a rollover of the thumb in the add media popoup interface will reveal it, but i do not see an ID in the status as you do when you determine a post id. I cannot find it in the resulting html either.

I used “1,2,3” in the shortcode, but I think that is referring to the sort order. They are the only numbers I could find that are associated with the images I’ve uploaded.

I have checked the rollover status of the thumbnails in 5 locations – 2 each in page specific gallery and the “media library”, both with the “show” on and “hide” on. I even tried it with the thumbnail found in the image editor. I copied the image location from the editor and saw a number that looked interesting, but it is indeed random.

postid=2085&rand=37397

I believe this is the issue.

I checked out the xml export from WP that I used to rescue my pages and post content, and found the problem urls.

I tried to do a find/replace to correct the urls, but it didn’t seem to do the trick. I wasn’t persistent about it, perhaps this is a proper work around?

Problem solved! I installed a new version of wordpress and the thumbs returned. My first attempt at reinstalling did not work because I used the same databases. Instead I exported wordpress as an xml and imported into a clean install, all i had to “redo” were the captions, now we are ready to go live!

I am having a similar problem, if not the same. I am in communication with the smoothgallery plugin author about this. I moved a working version of the site from a test server to the live server, and my thumbnails no longer work. They are clickable, but greyed out. Here is a link to the site as it is now.

According to Christian, “The script returns a “file not found” error which means that it can’t access the image given in the “src” parameter.”

He then says “I already had this problem and it had to do with an “anti-hotlinking” feature that was turned on for a particular domain. Deactivating this feature – thus allowing hotlinking – resolved this problem. Maybe that’s the case here too?!`”

I don’t have any anti-hotlinking plugins, is there another place for this to be ticked on/off in the wp admin or php files?

My thumbnails are being called from my old server, here is an example of a URL it is expecting to find the thumbs at: http://albertdicruttalo.com/wp/wp-content/plugins/smoothgallery/extra/resizer.php?src=http://springmountaindesigns.com/ad2009/wp-content/uploads/Symmetry-Study.jpg&w=100&h=75. I would love to reset this, or provide a static link to call the thumbnails.

How do I do this?
