I am having the same problem. Trying to set Sort Gallery by choosing “Alt/Title text” and “Ascending” – as soon as I hit “Update Sort Order” button the choices revert to “Unstorted” and “Ascending” – My alt/text titles all have a number sign and an ampersand (they are like this: #23 Step & Repeat or #100 Milestones & Goals – does the # or the & cause the update to not work? (It’s part of the title name of the piece, but I could remove the # if necessary but must keep the &)

As a last resort I guess I could manually sort the files or try Image ID.

Here’s the website: amperart.com/gallery

Thanks. Nice gallery.

I just read the entire conversation between Josh and Karl. Based on the sensible and kind responses, I wish I could give Josh 500 stars! Karl has been fair, too.

I understand Karl’s point of view, as it’s exactly opposite of mine. I’m a typographer and the plugin allows me to do what I love doing, styling typesetting.

I have absolutely no use for the PHP thing (because sadly I’m too ignorant to understand that stuff) so if Josh pulled out all the typography and just left the widget php part I’d give it one star too!

But I’d still give Josh his 500 stars for excellent customer service.

I need to link each image to a custom url also. Found the NextGEN Gallery Media Library Addon but it’s not compatible with NG 2.x I wanted to purchase the new NG Pro for the e-comm, too.
I will have to find another gallery, if any others allow images to link to a custom url, until either NG adds this feature (it’s one of their top requests from users) or until they allow the plugin to work, or until another plugin makes it possible with NG 2.x.

I’ve subscribed to NG to keep updated.

Here is the page where I want each image to link to the entertaining post about that image: https://amperart.com/gallery/

Spent half a day on this, and each road leads to a dead end — nothing’s compatible.

Such is life with WordPress. Still beats building in Dreamweaver, though.
