Also forgot to say I have gone through the FF troubleshooting including clearing the cache, trying it in safe mode, even reinstalling FF. Nothing helps. Heres’ the link to one of the pages. The background is missing from the top widget, and the rest are all out of alignment.

Hurray, figured it out!!!!!!

I was using the caption template for this gallery, because the images need captions, as well as the title of the gallery. So I pasted this:

<?php echo $gallery->title ?>

into this file:

wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/ngglegacy/view/gallery-caption.php

and it worked! So happy, and I hope someone else is able to use this easy fix, as well.

I did find some threads about this, but they were five years old. I don’t think whatever solution was found would work by now. Has no one else found a way to do this recently, without having to create a new template?

If anyone else has this problem, a simple fix was to change the quotes in my html link in the page description field to single, rather than double. Now that text links to the desired pages. An easy fix.

Never did get the custom fields plugin working, even though I pasted the code and tried to follow directions the best I could.

This gallery has done a lot for WordPress. I hope in future versions that more and more things will become . . . simpler for non-programmers to use. I’m sure that will happen. Thank you, developers, for this plugin.

Yes, James, I think I will ask about admin access. This is sort of a “tread lightly” situation for me because of who the person is, who is providing the hosting (at an affordable rate for us). So i have to proceed more delicately than I otherwise would. However, I will ask him about admin access. He might be afraid I’ll mess up his server, so I’m not optimistic that he’ll grant it to me, but we’ll see. I have worked in the back end for my WordPress sites on hostgator, have done a few WP installs (including a multi-site), and am somewhat comfortable with basic command-line Linux, editing files with Pico, and very basic Sql (creating databses, etc.). Do you think my going into the .htaccess file and poking around in our WP back-end would be a risk to his server or other sites on his server? I would be very careful, but I don’t want to screw up anything major on this site. What do you think?

Thanks so much, James, for the reply. I’m not sure exactly what his challenges are because he doesn’t communicate much with me, but I’ve been assured that he is “working on it.” I think I will try to pressure him to get it done sooner rather than later, and just wait to launch until he does it. I don’t want to have to go back to Google and change the links, because I’m new to all the SEO stuff. So it seems that doing it right the first time makes sense. Thanks, again.
