Thumbnails not generating

  • Nextcellent Gallery seems to have just stopped working on me. It uploads the images to the correct gallery without any issue but it won’t generate a thumbnail. Once the images have been uploaded the thumbnail generation screen never kicks in and the page just states that the images have been added to the gallery.

    I updated to the latest version but it didn’t make any difference. I am not yet running WordPress 4.

    Any suggestions? I’m not very familiar with coding.

    Edited to say that if I then go into the gallery & manually edit the thumb it instantly appears! So why isnt it automatically generating it?

  • Exact same problem with thumbnails not being created on upload.

    Thanks for the tip on cropping a new thumb @morigan1. It’s a good work around until there’s a fix.

    Thanks Zinifexer but I’ve tried that and sadly doesn’t make any difference. And now the plugin won’t generate thumbnails at all.

    I can’t manually edit them and If I click on the gallery and tell it to generate them it fails. Help!

    I found a solution!

    You must hardcode nextcellent-gallery-nextgen-legacy\lib\gd.thumbnail.inc.php file.

    In function ‘show’ (@ line 585) insert ‘clearstatcache();’ before ‘@ImageGif…’, ‘@ImageJpeg…’ and ‘@ImagePng…’

    It works fine form me ??

    Sadly that didn’t work either. Every time I try and generate a thumbnail I get the following error log :
    PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 262144 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 6000 bytes) in …wordpress/wp-content/plugins/nextcellent-gallery-nextgen-legacy/lib/gd.thumbnail.inc.php on line 179

    I have 128 mb of php memory (I tried increasing by amending the php ini file to 256 and then 500 – plug in didn’t work either time) and in the gd thumbnail file I changed that figure to 256.

    I also tried amending the htaccess file to include a larger memory limit – no dice.

    No image I’ve been uploading is bigger than 150 mb.
    It just won’t generate a thumbnail.

    Hi everyone,

    Sorry to hear you’re having trouble.

    First, just because you have 150 MB free memory, doesn’t mean you can upload images up to 150 MB.

    If you go to the overview screen (the start screen of NextCellent), and then run the plugin check, you’ll see how large the pictures are it can create.

    The plugin check says I can upload images of 4000 x 3000. The ones I’m trying to upload are 600 x 400 and low res.

    My site is a fan site and I’ve used Nextcellent to up hundreds of images. Its never had a problem uploading images of between 100 – 500 mb before (occasionally some much larger) and the images themselves seem to be upping just fine. It is the thumbnail that won’t generate. Thumbnail generation results in the php memory error each time and when I try and manually create a thumbnail nothing comes up…

    I see.

    Unfortunately, this is most likely an issue with your web host. I suggest you contact them and explain to them you are getting that error.

    There is simply not much NextCellent can do if this post doesn’t do anything.
