NextGen Gallery screwed things up

  • Ive been trying to add a gallery to my site.
    I chose the NextGen plugin, installed it, tried testing it out, and saw that the custom menu I built is all screwed up when I tried to add a gallery to my page (add media button, etc.)

    So I deactivated it, then updated all my images on my site (in my library), then deleted the plugin.
    Saw things were STILL screwed up with the positioning of images, and (most) of my javascript doesn’t work. So decided “well maybe I need to update my footer, header, and style files in my child theme folder.

    Still doesn’t work.

    The reason I updated, and have been updating everything, is that I tried earlier in the day other gallery plugins, and found that is what restored things back to normal.

    So part of my issue asks… are there ‘leftover’ (meta?)files that remain even when deactivating/deleting plugins, that can still screw up your site/pages?

    Help.Please?

    As I can see there are many JavaScript issue with your theme. Kindly reinstall the theme.

    what about my child theme? If I reinstall the theme, it wont affect the child theme will it?
    Thats really disappointing that deactivating a plugin will still affect the site..

    I dont know why these are there.

    $("a.about").click(
function () {

if ( i == 0 ) {
x.animate({marginTop:"230px", padding:"0px 0px 20px 0px", marginLeft:"100px", marginRight:"100px", color:"white"}, 250, "linear", function () {
x.css("textShadow", "none");

    that’s code to animate text on the page. but its not working, don’t know why.

    also – keep in mind when I was trying to learn the NextGen gallery plugin after I installed it, I made no changes at all to any files.

    The only place I attempted to change things was on only one page (my homepage), and trying to experiment with the ‘add media’ button, etc.

    Can you kindly restore the theme to its original version. Hope teh javascript alerts will not be there.

    ok I clicked on ‘activate’ in the theme in the Appearance>Themes menu.
    Is that what restores it?

    also I might note, I put the js alerts there on purpose; it helps me to make sure the js code is working correctly. However the alerts do not pop up when I activate the original theme, as it is now.

    update:
    Deleted the theme off my server. Then re-installed it from the Appearance>Themes in the dashboard.

    Problem still persists.
    Anyone?

    Thanks!

    update:
    I’ve tried activating different themes (twenty fourteen, etc.) and the problem still persists. whether it’s my child theme that’s activated or an actual theme, the problem remains.

    update:
    After talking with a Bluehost Tech, she recommended deleting all plugins. So right now I have no plugins at all.
    I also have re-installed WP from the Dashboard>updates link.
    I deleted all my media files, and re-uploaded them.

    Problem STILL present !!!!!!!!!!!!

    Even when I adjust my css code, then refresh the page, just to test it out, no changes are made.

    Someone?

    You may contact the theme developer, she / he might help you here.

    Thanks for your help so far GreyParrots.
    Hopefully help is possible, but I visited Themetrust earlier and it looks like you have to have had purchased a theme from them in order to even communicate with them, and I just use McKinley (free).
