Watermark not working

Yeah. Its not working for me either. If someone can provide some guidance?

Will this have anything to do with theme conflicts? I’m using the theme Valenti 3.2 and have had a number of conflicts with this theme.

I tried this fix https://detechdev.com/blog/fix-nextgen-gallery-2-0-conflicts but to no avail.

@thestewartofny, @lusohouse,

Would you mind, confirming for us that error persists after:

– disable all browser extensions/plugins/or add-ons
– Temporarily switching to WordPress default theme > clear browser cache & reload your site
– Deactivate all plugins (including NextGEN Gallery) > clear browser cache > re-activate NextGEN Gallery only & reload your site

Do any of those action steps help? I know this can be a big inconvenience, we’re very sorry – but since this is not happening for everyone, this does help tell us if there is a plugin/theme conflict. Or a browser related issue.

I can confirm problem persists. I’ve done all the above. Thanks for wanting to help solve this.

the text watermark works now, but not the image… is there a way to add a new font? the font i use is OTF.

@lusohouse – Thanks for confirming this is connected to your Theme. If this is a popular premium theme we’d be able to look into the theme conflict, please send details on this theme and the error here in a bug report: https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/ . It would be best to send a notice on this conflict to the Themes developer so they can look into the conflict as well.

@thestewartofny – what image file-type are you using for the watermark? Double check the URL to the image is correct as there may be a typo. There is no option for custom font, just the web-standard are available right now.

got it… i added the font to the ngglegacy/fonts folder. watermark works when i click Refresh Preview Image in the settings but i do not see the watermark on a post…

@thestewartofny – You’re quite savvy – good find! ?? If you’re comfortable modifying files on the server or code, than anything is possible in customizing the plugin I suppose ?? Try resetting your permalinks under settings >> permalinks, and reset them to ‘post name’, does that help? You might also try clearing the image cache
under Gallery > Other Options > Misc.

i did those steps but still no watermarks. I’m kind of trying to create a site that looks like https://www.filmmagic.com each post will shot a thumb, clicking on a post will then show thumbs of all the images in the album. is this possible with your plugin?

@thestewartofny – Yes, if you go here https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/help there is an album section that will take you step by step on how to set that up. ?? Hmmm, would you mind setting the watermark on that gallery again under Manage Galleries > batch actions > Set watermark, once done switch the gallery display to basic thumbnails and wait a few minutes. Clear your browser cache and check again. Does that help?

ok i kind of figured out the album/gallery thing. only issue i have is that the images show in square thumbs on the post. is there a way to make them display as thumbnails of the full image? https://empireimages.co/rimowa-nyc-store-grand-opening/nggallery/rimowa-nyc-store-grand-opening/rimowa-nyc-store-grand-opening

the watermark is still not working.

@thestewartofny – we’re kind of getting off topic from the original issue here with the watermarking ?? Would you mind creating a separate thread discussing the customizations you’d like to create with the album display? Thanks! ??

If the watermarking is still not working, you’ve done a lot of helpful checking. I think we may need to take a closer look, would you mind submitting a bug report here: https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/ Thanks!

-Becky

i created a new thread and will submit a bug report…. thanks

Thank you @thestewartofny ! ??
