nggallery id=x takes me to file of the image, instead of opening image browser

what is set in “options” -> “effects” ?

Barry,

Nothing was set, but then I tried lightbox, thickbox, etc, but nothing changed.

I then went into options>gallery settings and checked “The gallery will open the ImageBrowser instead the effect” This did open a browser, but with only one image (there are about 12 in that gallery .

Does this ring any bells?

Thanks for the help,

Brian

By rollback, do you mean that you replaced the nextgen-gallery plugin folder with the older version, or did you replace it with a backup? If you’ve just installed a fresh legacy version, then maybe some specific modifications in the plugin folder got lost that makes this not work anymore?

If possible I would restore a backup, wordpress folders and database. That way you would be completely back where you were before you’ve tried to upgrade this plugin to 2.x.

Jeroen. That’s what I was considering as the next step. Will try it now. Thanks for the hint.

It’s not that difficult to set up a test wordpress installation on the same server as your website. I’ve learned from experience to do this and always test new plugins or updates on the test instance, before updating the main website.

Good luck,
Jeroen

@mathmojo – Brian, did you get this sorted out?

– Cais.

I did. Thanks. It was the options. Don’t know why they changed when I updated, but it’s sorted out now. What ever became of the carousel that showed under the main image, though?

@brian – The [nggallery] shortcode essentially is the Basic Thumbnails display. If you Customize the gallery display either via the Gallery Options (global for new galleries) or via the ATP for the post/page specific instance you will see a carousel template. Is that what you are looking for?

– Cais.

PS: Feel free to set the topic to resolved if everything is sorted out on this issue. EAC

Unfortunately this has also happened to me. My galleries using the same shortcode were opening the first image in a new window. I went under Options/Settings and saw that all templates in the dropdowns under “Gallery Settings” were empty/de-selected.

I’ve managed to get the first image to now popup in an overlay (not a separate window) but now the galleries just aren’t working. It’s just displaying the first image for each.

Any idea what settings you changed to fix the gallery part for you? Thanks.

That carousel template isn’t exactly what I’m looking for. I don’t want to see a gallery under the image on the page, but I’d like to see a carousel of the images (in thumbnails) under the window which pops up.

Thanks.

Brian

mr.stacking.kit:

In “other options” I clicked on “lightbox effects” and clicked “thick box.” That seemed to have done it.
