 * This should do the trick, obviously just replace the number with the number of
   the gallery you want to appear:
 * `<?php echo nggShowGallery(1,null); ?>`

 * -bump-
 * I have a few users asking if this is possible.
 * I know it should be easy enough to just copy and paste the auto generated password
   that is emailed, but some people just freak out when they see it.
 * Cheers.

 * I have the same problem, I found the quick and dirty solution was just to add
   tags in ‘quick edit’ mode – that seems to work fine and hopefully the plugin 
   confict will be resolved in future updates!

 * Jeez sorry – I posted that code incorrectly, I didn’t mean to nest anything (
   this is frying my brain!).
 * I meant to post:
 * `style="background:url('<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "background", true);?
   >')`
 * i.e. the original recommendation by yourself!
 * My get_post_meta statement returns nothing – the background url is just blank!(
   except the single quote marks).
 * However if I use the <?php the_meta(); ?> function it returns the two custom 
   fields exactly as I would expect them to look.

 * Thanks apljdi – I tried that, but no joy.
 * However I think I’m beggining to see the source of the problem: Does WordPress
   treat template pages differently?
 * I’m trying to achieve this on a post that has a template assigned to it so I 
   detached the post from the template and added the custom field code to single.
   php
 * `style="background:#000 url(<?php echo get_post_meta('<?php echo get_post_meta(
   $post->ID, "background", true); ?>'); ?>`
 * when I reload the page the post then loaded from the default single.php and the
   background image works fine.
 * Soooo…
 * I copied all the code from single.php into my template (so the two files were
   exactly the same) and then re-assigned it to the post – I reloaded and . . . .
   it’s gone!

 * Hi Sorry it’s on a local server so I don’t have a URL, but here is the code for
   the page, would be most grateful for any ideas:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
       Template Name: Portfolio-detail
       */
       ?>
       <?php
       require 'header-portfolio.php';
       ?>
   
       <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
       <div id="portfolio-feature" style="background:#000 url(<?php $key="background"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?>) center center;">
   
       <div id="slider">
       <?php the_content('') ?>
       <img src="<?php $key="thumbnail"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?>" width="250" height="120" alt="thumb"/>
       </div>
   
       </div>
   
       <div id="content-wrapper">
   
       <div id="content">
   
       <div class="content-left portfolio-page">
   
       <div id="buttons">
               <a href="#" id="btn-prev"></a>
               <a href="#" id="btn-pause"></a>
               <a href="#" id="btn-play"></a>
               <a href="#" id="btn-next"></a>
       </div>
   
       <h1><?php the_title('') ?></h1>
   
       <?php endwhile; ?>
       <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
   
       </div>
   
       </div>
   
       <?php get_footer(); ?>
       ```
