It turns out the solution was very simple! * I had prepared the new post I was working on BEFORE the clean-up of my site and the update of the WordPress stuff. The problem seemed to be with the NextGen Gallery, even when I reloaded all the photos. * I resolved the problem simply by opening a NEW post and a NEW gallery. I copy- pasted the text from the old post and uploaded the photos into the new gallery. * The new post works fine. * Thanks for all your help. * Robin * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] How can I stop thumbnails from turning into supersized images when posted?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-can-i-stop-thumbnails-from-turning-into-supersized-images-when-posted-1/) * Thread Starter [RobinWR](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robinwr/) * (@robinwr) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-can-i-stop-thumbnails-from-turning-into-supersized-images-when-posted-1/#post-6417226) * I’ll do that, Cais. * Thx. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] How can I stop thumbnails from turning into supersized images when posted?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-can-i-stop-thumbnails-from-turning-into-supersized-images-when-posted-1/) * Thread Starter [RobinWR](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robinwr/) * (@robinwr) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-can-i-stop-thumbnails-from-turning-into-supersized-images-when-posted-1/#post-6417179) * Hi Cais, * Thanks for the suggestions. * I’ve made the changes you propose but I’m afraid the problem is still there. 🙁 * Robin * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] How can I stop thumbnails from turning into supersized images when posted?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-can-i-stop-thumbnails-from-turning-into-supersized-images-when-posted-1/) * Thread Starter [RobinWR](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robinwr/) * (@robinwr) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-can-i-stop-thumbnails-from-turning-into-supersized-images-when-posted-1/#post-6417090) * Hi Cais, * Thanks for the tips. * I only have four plugins (including NextGEN). I’ve tried deactivating them all as per your suggestion, but to no avail. * I notice that the NextGEN inserts in my previous postings appear like this: * [nggallery id=26] * Now, when I insert one, I just get a thumbnail of the first image. * Regarding the bit about “uploading a NextGEN gallery now requires the user to make a choice of format”, what happens is that a pop up window appears with six options under the heading “Display Galleries” (one of five subheadings in the box). I didn’t have this before. * Further info: * Last week my site was hacked. Bluehost SiteDoctor cleaned it up. Bluehost have reaffirmed that it is completely clean. My computer has also been completely cleaned up. * In WordPress I had already prepared the post I am working on, complete with photos. When I re-entered the site, there were just little pictogrammes inthe draft gallery where the thumbnails used to be. So I removed the pictogrammes and re-uploded the photos. It took ages for each photo to load. Also each time I wanted to save changes, it took several minutes to do so. * The issues only arise with the post I’m working on; existing posts are behaving normally. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How can I stop thumbnails from turning into supersized images when posted?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-can-i-stop-thumbnails-from-turning-into-supersized-images-when-posted/) * Thread Starter [RobinWR](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robinwr/) * (@robinwr) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-can-i-stop-thumbnails-from-turning-into-supersized-images-when-posted/#post-6414480) * Thanks, Jason! I’ll try that. Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total)
