[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Slideshow Widget: Remove Sidebar Title

Any comments on this by anyone?

From
nextgen-gallery/widgets/widgets.php
you have to remove the line

$title = apply_filters(‘widget_title’, empty( $instance[‘title’] ) ? __(‘Slideshow’, ‘nggallery’) : $instance[‘title’]);

That does the trick. ??

Hi, I found the above answer at a numbert of posts, however I can’t find the coding in my nextgen-gallery/widgets/widgets.php. I suppose it is because i have a newer version, being version 1.5.3

I know i can just leave the title area empty, but then I’m left with too much space between the slideshow and the widget above it.

This is my widget.php code, what should i delete, please?
