Hi @aads4,

We are not aware of any similar to yours cases so it may worth deleting checking for a conflict by temporarily deactivating all of the other plugins then reenabling them back one by one to see if there’s a specific plugin ( or the theme itself ) conflicting.

Hi @kitenski,

In absence of an export/import mechanism – migrating NextGen’s galleries also requires migrating both the files and the database’s tables:

On origin site

• Create a full verified backup of the site (all files and the entire database). 
• Copy all database tables.
• Copy gallery folders and contents.
• Copy any custom Gallery Templates you have specially made.
• Clear transients 
• You can install a plugin to clear them: Deleted expired transients
• Or you can simply go to example.com/?ngg_flush=1 where “example.com” is your domain name.

On destination site / WordPress default installation (clean install):

• Ensure NextGEN Gallery plugin(s) are installed (and activated):
  Installing and Updating NextGEN Gallery
• Recover your full WebSite backup.
• Paste gallery folders and contents.
• Paste (overwrite) all database tables.
• Paste any custom Gallery Template if you have them (they should be inside your theme’s file).
• Clear transients. 
• You can install a plugin to clear them: Deleted expired transients
• Or you can simply go to example.com/?ngg_flush=1 where “example.com” is your domain name.

Hi @brixton4g63t,

Sorry but we cannot offer support for the third party lightbox effects. We suggest deactivating MagnificPopup from Enfold theme and use NextGen’s lightbox only ( you can use SimpleLightbox for example selecting it from “NextGen Gallery -> Other Options -> Lightbox Effects -> What lightbox would you like to use?” )

Hi @henny440,

To be honest, I think the server is a bit slow and the images load pretty slow. You can perhaps try upgrading to a faster server or resizing the images for a faster loading.

You may also want to experiment using a caching plugin to see if that’ll give you positive results and additionally maxing out the PHP time limit.

Sorry for overlooking it. It appears that Basic Compact actually comes with a setting that allows changing the thumbnails size.

Please access “NextGen Gallery -> Gallery Settings -> Basic Compact Album -> Override thumbnail settings”

Hope this helps

NextGen Gallery uses some sort of caching for the display type so lets try to force cleaning it first by adding ?1 ( https://example.com/?1 ) at the end of your page’s URL then try again to see if the view shows up.

I have personally added such a view /wp-content/ngg/modules/photocrati-nextgen_basic_gallery/templates/mihai-view.php 10 minutes ago and it showed up while I’ve tried selecting the view for “Basic Thumbnails” gallery display type.

Hi @sosuire.

Please try to move your custom template to /ngg/modules/photocrati-nextgen_basic_gallery/templates then check again to see if that’ll appear under “Select View”.

Hi @fioryp,

It seems that you use a third party lightbox for your NGG images – the one that comes from Gmedia Photo Gallery plugin. We suggest disabling it and using NGG’s lightbox instead.

Just as a reminder that you can select NGG’s lightbox effect from “NextGen Gallery -> Other Options -> Lightbox Effects”
