Yes, thank you this worked & I am now protected.

Ok, a bit of a faff and had to reinstall WP on my localhost to get it working again but nextgen is now working ok – so not sure if it was the port (still don’t get why that would affect it? Feel free to enlighten me!) or a messed up WP install after playing around with it so much.
Anyway, cheers.

How do I do that? It doesn’t seem quite that simple. Changing the port on MAMP from 8888 to 80 and in Coda localhost setting to “Local URL: https://localhost:80” simply loses connection as WordPress still tries to connect on port 8888?

Hi, yes using port 8888. I’m not using a nivo slider plugin though, I’ve integrated the standard html option into my theme. It’s the latest one downloaded though.

I agree with bradcamis & like myself, am not knocking the developer – but some walk-through instructions should be pretty much a given – I’ve wasted half a day trying to work this out (a plugin should make life easier!) and would politely suggest the developer gets someone to write a decent user instruction manual. This would benefit everyone concerned & increase usage as well as avoiding much time wasted.

Hi, did you find a solution? Was it version related?

govpatel, thanks for that – i too had tried a few and nothing was working but this has done the trick, with some nice extra options for creating a generated avatar for those without one – brightens the comments up!

Hi esmi short fast & effective reply! Many thanks.

For anyone else out there with similar issues, the solution was to place the following code directly ABOVE my jQuery code in header.php – still curious as to why index.php was fine but single.php wasn’t though..

<?php wp_enqueue_script("jquery"); ?>

<?php wp_head(); ?>
