Clashes with another plugin NextGen Flex Slider

    On a page I use the shortcode [nggallery id=2 template=”sliderview”] for the plugin Responsive NextGEN Flex Slider Template. When I add [add_posts category=Elementary show=5] underneath the slider shortcode both the slider and posts display on the page. When I add full=false (or full=false) and edit Add Posts to Pages shortcode to [add_posts category=Elementary show=5 full=false] The posts display on the page, but the slider does not. Instead of displaying the slider the shortcode text for the slider displays on the page.

    Actually it’s breaking the nextgen gallery plugin. I thought it was only affecting the slider. Using the shortcode [ nggallery id=2 ] behaves the same way.

    Hi ajcke,

    Please try NOT including the (full=false) on the add_posts shortcode. By default, it is automatically false ??

    If that doesn’t fix it.. allow me to understand:

    Taking the [add_posts] short code off of that page fixes NextGEN?

    Could you set up a couple pages for me to review.. then send me the links?

    • Page with just nextGEN gallery
    • Page with just add_posts
    • Page with both, with add_posts on top
    • Page with both, with nextGEN on top

    I can’t think of a reason why this would fail.. other than styling issues.

    I’m trying to narrow down the issue. Hopefully this helps. There was a space in the nextgen shortcode after [ and before ]. I deleted this space. The following urls now display correctly. Once I add the code full=true it breaks. See URLs 5-7 below.

    Page with just nextGEN gallery (does work)

    [nggallery id=2]

    NICE! Thanks for narrowing it down..
    So it’s when you go full=true that it breaks, huh?

    I’m looking into this for you… Might be later this evening for me to find and deploy a fix.

    THANKS again!

    Yes that’s true.

    The theme also has a shortcode for posts that breaks when both nextgen gallery and the theme post shortcode exist on the same page. Here is a page that displays this. https://hn.k12.oh.us/test2/elementary/announcements/
    Shortcode:
    [nggallery id=2 template=”sliderview”]
    [title size=”large”]News & Announcements[/title][posts number=”5″ order=”date” category=”7″]

    Any luck? I just tested this out on another wordpress install. The same thing occurs. When a nextgen gallery and add post to pages (full=true) shortcode exist on the same page it breaks the nextgen gallery plugin.

    Hey there – I updated to version 1.3.
    Try installing that and let me know if it works.

    I upgraded to 1.3, but get the same results.

    Maybe I could try another gallery slider plugin. Any recommendations?. All I’m trying to do here is display gallery images in a slider. I really like NextGen (lots of features) and the FlexSlider addon for NextGen (responsive and looks nice) and of course it’s free.

    Another option is to create a custom page template and code the posts.

    Bah – are you using the latest NextGen gallery?

    You can also use WordPress’ built in gallery — not sure if it uses a slider, but I know it exists ??

    Let me try it on my side ajcke — I’ll see if I can’t debug this bad boy.

    Thread Starter ajcke

    (@emerinea)

    Yes. Latest NextGen 2.0.40.

    Plugin Author Arsham Mirshah

    (@arshammirshah)

    FIXED IT (92% sure)!
    Please update your plugin & let me know.

    If it works, would you mind rating the plugin?

    You da man! You can be 100% sure! What did you change specifically? I just wrote over the old version and didn’t compare.

    (@emerinea)

    I found an older version. You changed line 74
    $content = apply_filters(‘the_content’, $content);
    to
    $content = wpautop($content);
    nice work!

    (@arshammirshah)

    Woohoo! Yeah I was running too many filters.
    Thanks for your help!!
