[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Upgrade to WordPress 2.6.3 makes thumbnails stop working

what is your server memory limit ? (see it on the next-gen control panel)
Try to change some settings like Cache single pictures in the Options — Images.
Try to change resample mode, and Disable the FLASH uploadr…
I am not sure any of these will help, but let me know if it does

The memory limit is PHP Memory Limit : 48M.

I’m using Cache single pics, have flushed the Cache.

I’m not using the Flash upload.

I’ve also upgraded both my WordPress install and the NGGallery to the latest versions.

But it’s still not working. I’ve also tried the uncommenting 128M trick in that thumbnails file, and it’s not working either. ??

Please post your server settings

I’ve been trying to increase the memory limit using the various tricks posted for this problem, but I’m afraid I don’t know enough code to make them work. I’ve also contacted my host to increase the memory limit for me and I hope they’ll do that.

What I don’t get is that it stopped working from one day to the next without me adding any new plugins or anything – I think you said it’s the plugins that push the memory limit? And today I’ve deleted all the plugins I can spare (more than that, actually) and the memory usage only goes down by .01 degrees.

I feel the server setting didn’t work correct, your memory_usage is already higher that the limit, so it should normally stop working at all.
I can show how to disable the memory check, but I’m not sure if it helps out

I’m willing to try anything!

And apart from the thumbnails it’s working perfectly fine, even with really big images… Very strange.

So if it’s the server setting, then that would make it a problem my host should (be able to) resolve?

Goto gd.thumbnail.inc.php

and delete or comment out the lines 170-174 :

if($this->error == false) {
// Check memory consumption if file exists
$this->checkMemoryForImage($this->fileName);
}

Hooray! Now it’s creating thumbnails again!

Thank you so much!

Thx alexrabe,

It works fine now, great support

I’m not sure if anyone is still encountering the issue, but altering your php.ini file and adding it to your wp-admin directory will also correct the error.

Thank you eorourke!! That worked for me ??

My thumbnails also don’t work. Where is the php.ini file? and how do you alter it? Thanks.

I am still experiencing the samw problem although I removed the lines from the gd.thumbnail file. The file itself is uploaded but the thumbnails are not created.

Unfortunately I can’t change the php.ini file since that appearantely is not within my reach (it’s owned by the webbhost I am using).

This is my errormessage:

Ask your hoster to increase the memory_limit or you need to use smaller images
