thanks so much! Tried one and I think it’s solved the problem. I had not done that for any of them, yet some had images displayed, so I never even thot of it!
Sorry to be so slow responding. Totally forgot I’d posted this and I didn’t get the email notification that you’d answered.
I a similar problem. I have albums created before I did the 2.0 upgrade. Post upgrade, half of the galleries have thumbs, the others don’t. Looking at the code for the thumb, there is no source i.e. src=””. I’ve tried dumping the cache, tried generating new thumbs for the galleries, tried inserting via the new system (I assume IGW) but still can’t get an image in there. Appreciate any suggestions.
Anyone else thinking a means for controlling the gallery image within a given album w/b nice?
Oh…One of the albums in question is here:
http://www.janefancher.com/HarmoniesOfTheNet/all-the-slideshows-gathered-into-groups/wiishus-diary/In the upper right corner, there’s a blank box with the search box that says page (blank) of X number of pages. (hope this works) Here are links to screen caps:
2) the list after I’ve entered “5” in the box and hit return. Note it’s back to gallery number order
Cais, thanks. I’m aware of that. What I’d like is when I’m inserting a single image from an older gallery, and that’s a little dropdown list. I’d just like to be able to choose to have that be in alphabetical order by default. I’ll put that into the suggestions as well.
Also…there’s a problem with the alpha sort in the manage gallery. It sorts, but if you try to go to, say, page 15 of 30, it reverts to the date created sort.
Glad to know I’m not the only one, tho…
Unfortunately, the shopping cart plugin I use now requires the new version of NextGen, so rolling back isn’t an option. Also, I really like the other features, especially uploading and inserting a new gallery without having to open a new tab. It seems like such a silly change…
Oopsie! I’m so sorry. I’ve been really busy elsewhere, and the email alerting me to your response got lost in a stream of notifications.
I did a rollback and everything was going swimmingly, so I sort of let the matter drop. If it would help, I could upgrade again (knowing the rollback works. :D) Would you need me to leave it there so you can check the site itself?
My blog is on BlueHost in my own domain, and I already use the postname permas.
Don’t know that I have credentials! 😀 I’ve been using NextGen since I put up my WP blogs several years ago. Heavily dependent on it! I’m probably what you’d call a mid-level user/programmer of html and php.
And I’ll love you forever if you fix that “go to gallery” link. 😀
I’m curious is ANYONE is successfully using 2.0 and above. What a mess it is! Thankfully, the rollback when without a hitch and my nextgen is back to its former glory.
Hope they get it fixed (and get my back my “go to gallery” link post uploading!)
I also wish they’d give an option for galleries in alphabetical order in the dropdowns. 🙁 But no sense in asking for that until all the other probs are solved! 😀
This is a fantastic plugin when it’s working right. They did a complete redesign for 2.0 that I think (and I believe a lot of people would agree) is not ready for prime time.
I’d suggest you put in the last version of NextGen. 2.0 and above are having all kinds of problems. I was having the same problem, rolled back to the last 1.9.somethingorother, and my wonderful NextGen is back to running like the proverbial top.
Here are the instructions for rolling back
http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/how-to-rollback-a-version/I second this. The old loader was INFINITELY superior! (And worked.) I want that “go to gallery” back. I’m going to try rolling back but I’m sure the time will come when I’ll have to upgrade just to stay current with the current version of wordpress and that has me seriously concerned.
Oh! I use Atahualpa, current version.
Does anyone have any suggestions on this? Please!
Personally, I’d get the Full. That way, no matter what you want to read it on, you probably have a file that will work. They’re all the same price…more a convenience in file size than an actual price difference. I’d for certain get the Mini, which has the three main bases, pdf, epub and mobi, covered. These are the three we can actually fine-tune the format on. They are DRM free, so you can always use Calibre to turn them into anything else…which is pretty much all we do for the Full.
If you like MZB and/or CJ Cherryh, I think you might well enjoy mine. (Hope!) My writing style is a lot like CJs, my subject matter and approach to character development is maybe a bit more like Marion’s. They both like/liked my work, if that makes any difference. 😀 (Can you tell I’m not a great hawker? (blush))
WP has gotten amazing! When we started Closed circle…goodness, three years ago now? Lynn really thought Joomla was the way to go. Meantime, CJC and I got our blogs going and I, being graphics heavy (CJC and I started working together when I did a Graphic Novel of Gate of Ivrel) immediately started looking for something to handle images.
I found NextGen and frankly have never looked further. I love it…have 100 different galleries so far on my blog, between photos and my covers.
Lynn was floundering with Joomla (which is saying something…we’d both done quite a bit of good old fashioned web-design) and I finally did the original site in WP. We thought it was just going to be interim, but decided it was just fine. I just got through with a total revamp of both the Closed Circle site and my own blog. There are plugins galore, but the only one I absolutely must have is NextGen.
I’ve done some slideshows of my covers’ development over on my blog:
http://www.janefancher.com/TheCaptainAndLime/all-the-slideshows-gathered-into-groups/my-galleries/
which have been quite a hit. All I had to do was come up through the layers of my PSP file and save separate jpgs, then put them in a gallery and insert a slideshow. Can’t ask for easier!Anyway…love you screen name! I’ve still got a bunch of DS comics from the 60s in a box in the basement.
Have you seen the JC movie yet? Is it worth paying money or should I wait for the BluRay? 😀
That’s so true. There’s a great plugin for managing the dashboard called menu editor which allows you to order those pesky critturs just how you want them. I have three different sites I keep up with and that’s one of the first things I put on, and NextGen is always one of the top four. OTOH, with the new WP toolbar across the top, NextGen has its own little dropdown menu, which is nice.
You should also have a nice little button added to the Tiny MCE toolbar (I assume…I have Tiny MCE advanced) that is put in by NextGen that will put the code in for you. It has a dropdown list of your galleries, which is nice. The slideshow doesn’t have any “captions” specified, it just shows them if you’ve checked the navigation bar in the settings page.
You can make the caption as long as you like, but you need to format your display so that it shows. The slideshow seems only to show a single line, for instance, but my wp-estore display can have as many lines as you want.
For simple lists and captions…If you look on this page http://www.closed-circle.net/ebook-catalog/ (no, I’m not trying to sell you a book! just look at the book displays) those are just galleries, tho the template is one written by the estore author, but the “caption” is composed of html and short codes. to control the caption width, just put in a (less than)br(greater than) in appropriate places.
You can control the image list columns on the options pages. Unless you tell it otherwise, it will put as many across as captions allow.
Glad you’re getting it figured out!
Captions in the slideshow come with the “show navigation bar” tick on the slideshow settings. My suddenly disappearing captions (I’ve been using the plugin for three years…a lot! :D) was that dumbbell here forgot she’d reduced the screen size. (ctl – in FF) in order to do some work, and it reduced the slideshow window to where it didn’t show the bar. 😀 Restoring the actual screensize solved my problem. (Hitting self in side of head.)
Dr. Strange…very sorry. In our defense, you did ask how to make the captions display, not how to insert captions in the first place, which kinda makes it seem that you had captions you expected to display. I’d really suggest, if you haven’t already, that you thoroughly go through the NextGen selections on your dashboard. Nextgen is the plugin that taught me about searching the dashboard for plugin menus! 😀
Good luck! It’s an amazing plugin, once you figure it out.
Oh…you might have to run your cursor over the bottom of the image to make the navigation bar/captions display…depends on your system.
