Aha! “Resize image” in the “edit slide” page. I thought that was only for image dimensions, so I left it checked. Unchecking/disabling the option caused my images to be sharper.

Try adding this:

[nggallery id=1 template=caption]

My ‘search’ skills are lacking…

You’re welcome.

(Removing that line did not help my install. I actually had to set a width on the class.)

They are “normal” size in IE8.

I am having the same issue, but only in IE8.
I visited your link in Chrome 19 and Firefox 9 and the thumbnails looked fine.
I visited the site in IE8 and the thumbnails were thin there.

When I used developer tools and disabled the “float:left” attribute in the class ngg-gallery-thumbnail on your page, the thumbnails adjusted to “normal” size. I am going to go try that in my install.

Has anyone else seen this happening in IE8 or possibly IE9?

Are there image plugins anyone has used and might recommend that work a little differently that the default image captions in 3.3.2?

Thanks

Alas…it still happens.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I do not have a LIVE example, as the site owners had me fix the pages that were broken, so I fixed them using FireFox. But, here is an example page that might help me explain what is happening:
https://belectricinc.com/practice-page/

If I were to add a new image with caption HELLO to this page using IE8, a new picture would NOT display in the open slot in the second row. Instead, the HELLO caption for the one I tried to add might show up in the first image of the row, along with any other pictures’ captions.

So, we might have the first image in that row (now called COFFEE CUP) and its caption might say CoffeeCup9:58123456789HELLO, and all of the other pictures in that row would disappear. It’s like all of the images on a row are combined into one picture ONLY when IE8 is used by the admin to add pics with captions.

Thank you.

Richardhimself: May I ask how you created “$markerlist” and where you store it to make it work? I would rather add new map locations to a list rather than typing locations into the shortcode for everytime.

I think we have it.

I set the front page to display a page I created called “Frontpage”.

I set the slug name of the category I want to display on “Frontpage” to xyz

On the “Frontpage” edit screen, I set the “Page Links To” field to https://www.thesitename.com/?category_name=xyz

To display the custom slideshow, I changed the line in the header file… I used is_category(‘xyz’) (instead of is_page(“xyz”)).

Thank you very much for helping me out! ??

Ok.
If the slug for the category I want is xyz, what does the “page links to” field on the front page edit need to be?

Then, will is_page() need to be is_page(“front-page-name”) now instead of is_page(“xyz”)?

I did.

The front page is set to display a static page (“xyz”).
The xyz page “page links to” field points to https://www.thesitename.com/?category_name=xyz

The line for the custom slideshow in the header.php file is set to:
if (is_page(“xyz”))

I tried replacing “xyz” with the slugname, first in the “page links to” field and then in the header.php file. Both changes were unsuccessful, so I have changed them back.

Where do I need to change this?
I changed ‘xyz’ in the “page links to” to the slugname. This did not show my custom slideshow.
Then I changed ‘xyz’ in the header.php file (is_page(“slugname”)) and this did not show my custom slideshow.

Thanks again for your help.

“page links to” goes to: https://mysite.com/?category_name=xyz

the “is_page” code now says: ‘is_page(“xyz”)’

But the page and category must not be lining up.

Any suggestions?
