Just a quick update. I’ve just been working on a different site with a different host and have had no problems at all. So I think I can assume that my problem was with the permissions on the server rather that with NextGen Gallery I’m pleased to say.

Hi RoamFree

The problem I had was thumbnails not showing up on either the admin area or on the gallery page where I had put a NGG. It was only the thumbnails not showing. If you clicked on the ‘broken image’ icon where the thumb was supposed to be, the picture would pop up like it’s supposed to. This was finally fixed by changing the permissions of the thumbnail folder and the thumbnails within to 666 in my FTP client.

I still haven’t got to the bottom of whether it is a problem with my hosting of with WP. I still have to find out because I don’t want this to happen every time I of my client adds mor pictures.

The page in question is here:

As you can see, it all works now.

No, that didn’t work. Also just tried starting over by uploading all the pictures again. Thumbnails are being generated, I can see then via FTP, they just don’t show up in WP. Starting to tear my hair out now!

Just a quick update.

I tried going back to version 1.7.4 to see if it was something in the 1.8 versions, but no difference I’m afraid

Well, since I had this problem, I installed a plugin and everything went pearshaped!, so I have to start again anyway. Luckily, I keep all the assets safe including the now resized pictures for the gallery, so it won’t take me long to reinstate the site. I’ll follow up with what happens, fingers crossed!
