Lacks video support

  • This would be great plugin if it supports linking to videos on youtube/vimeo etc together with images, I sometime create video animation and would like to show video as well as images / screenshots in the same gallery/lightbox.

    It seems it doesn’t support sitemaps, can’t get image sitemap of nextgen galleries using any sitemap generation tools inlcuding popular ones like Yoast.

  • It DOES support sitemap generation of Yoast SEO. If you have resized images turned on then it will add the larger retina based image thumbnails. If you have resized images turned off then it will include the smaller non-retina versions. All included within Yoast SEO’s normal page/post sitemap creation. It’s like magic.

    Hey @fhade – Just wanted to follow up on this. I think we’d actually agree that NextGEN Gallery would be even better if it supported video. But do you really think that drops the plugin from 5 to 2 stars? If not, any chance we could encourage to your revise your star rating?

    To give some context: NextGEN Gallery still has more cumulative features than any other gallery plugin you can find. As Scott noted, it does also support yoast sitemaps (if you’re having issues getting it working, feel free to open a post on the forums). I’d add that many/most gallery other plugins also don’t support video – since, by definition, most gallery plugins are concerned first and foremost with images.

    In any case, if you think it’s a great plugin, but just happens to be missing an extra, useful feature, that’s probably more like 4 stars than 2 stars ??

    In any case, thanks for the feedback.
