So sell me a book. Should I get the full version, mini, mobi (for Kindle?) or epub (Calibre, Adobe Digital Reader)?
I thought your name sounded a bit familiar. Enjoyed MZB’s Darkover books, Anne McCaffrey’s dragons (yeah, of course), starting to read some Octavia Butler — maybe it’s time I read even more. Currently spending time on Barsoom, making my inner 14 year old very happy.
Thanks so much for your help. I created the web site that I turned over to someone else a couple of years ago, and now am inheriting back — but there’s definitely more available for WordPress than when I started. And, of course, those vague “instructions” that require a forum to actually make sense.
Yay! Thank you. Yes, very sparse instructions for an awesome plug-in.
Okay. I think I got it.
If you want captions for your thumbnails and slideshow, first go into Manage Gallery edit page, and click on the Gallery to which you want to add captions. A window will open that will allow captions to be added. (I didn’t know about this step at all.)
Add your captions for each image. I’m guessing that the number of characters “allowed” depends on the size of the thumbnails and your page. (Is there a way to show the captions only in the slideshow, not the thumbnails?)
Then place the short code [nggallery id=2 template=caption] on the page where you want your gallery to show.
I know there’s more, but this was the “simple” instruction I couldn’t find. Yes, search through the dashboard is good advice, but after a while one doesn’t know where one is in the dashboard, and sometimes there’s a lack of clues.
Thanks.
Part of the difficulty I’m having is that you — and others on this forum — speak of “captions” as if I should obviously know what you’re talking about. How does one get captions into, onto, or from the image files uploaded via nextGen? It uploads the files into the default folder of wp-content/gallery and pulls them out for display on the page with the short code. Where are the captions/titles/alt text?

In reply to: Printing – perhaps a plugin?I’m not using a plug-in, so there’s no option page, just a stylesheet. What do I list in the stylesheet to stop the url from printing?
Or is it somewhere else. I’m not finding a print-posts.php file in my installation. (I’m using the Kubrick theme, with a lot of template changes.) I’m willing to look through all sorts of files for a particular piece of code — but what piece of code am I looking for? I haven’t seen anything that resembles an instruction to the printer to “print the url address of the page that is printing in the upper right corner and at the bottom of the page.”

In reply to: Printing – perhaps a plugin?Wp-Print works well, but it prints too much, and the links are actually active in the print preview window. I’m using my own print stylesheet that is working fine.
But I also want to remove the URL address of the page that’s being printed — any suggestions on where to find it in any of the templates or stylesheets?
