FAQ

How can I make wp-greet work with NextgenGallery Version >= 2.0.0?

Unfortunately Photocrati did a major redesign of NGG and therfore the connecting filters were removed. You can read about this redesign in the www.remarpro.com forums.
But we can make it work by editing nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_basic_gallery/templates/thumbnails/index.php and change one line.
from
<a href=”get_image_url($image))?>”
to
<a href=”get_image_url($image)), $image)?>”
You can also fetch the patched file (index.php) from the wp-greet/patch directory and copy it
to nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_basic_gallery/templates/thumbnails

If this seems to difficult try using the new interface to WordPress native gallery to embed your greetingcard pictures.

My greetcard form is wider than my theme. What can I do?

To adjust the design of your greetingcard page edit the file wp-greet.css.
If you have a narrow theme you might adjust the width of the textarea
textarea.wp-greet-form { width: 90%; } by replacing the 90% with something smaller than this.

How can I use the Math Comment Spam Protection Plugin with wp-greet?

Upload the unzipped directory “math-comment-spam-protection” on your webspace into wp-content/plugins and activate the plugin. Under Settings -> Math Comment Spam klick “Update Options” once even without having changed any options, otherwise the plugin won’t work. You don’t have to change the text of the error messages, as these are fixed within wp-greet.

I want to use WordPress media gallery but the links of the images don’t work. What can I do?

Please set the link target of the WordPress galleries to “media file” in the gallery options.
