I know they’re responsive. But, the shortcode I’ve been using makes the product block super tall and skinny. If you took a quick look and scrolled down you’ll see what I mean. https://krononaut.com/2020/02/get-a-fitbit-for-that-special-someone-at-a-great-price/

I started getting this message today as well. I thought it had to new with the new Amazon API so I created a new one… but that didn’t seem to help. I can’t seem to search for anything. This is most of the error message:

or use it with some minor tweaks to the code?

Yes, that would be a great idea. If you have hundreds or thousands of users it would be nice to be able to easily track the ones you want.

Thanks. Can I select which authors I want to track? It seems to just pick people on its own. I just want to track a few people who will be posting in the forums… others will post who I’m not planning to pay…

Man, unfortunately I don’t really know what any of that means. LOL.

I checked the setting “The gallery will open the ImageBrowser instead the effect” and now the images have there own URLs. NOW I can post to Facebook and it shows the proper thumbnail. I think this will just have to do for now.

Thanks for the help. The tips on the video links were really helpful.

Still not working for me. Is the problem that each image needs its own URL? That would make sense to me. Atm, the only options for the thumbnail on FB are the first image of the gallery.

I just updated the Open Graph plugin through WordPress. I’m going to attempt to stop using the word preview if I can help it…

All I want is to be able to share an image from Nextgen Gallery on my Facebook page. This would be REALLY helpful to get more people to my site. That’s all I care about.

Since downloading your plugin I can link to a specific image (which is great!) in the gallery but it DOES NOT show the correct image on Facebook. Does that make sense? Instead it shows my website’s logo on Facebook.

I think the word I should have been using was “thumbnail” for Facebook, not “Preview.”

Again, I really appreciate you trying to help me out.

No problem. I know how to set a feature images for blog posts. I’m talking about photos from the gallery. I want to share memes from there to my FB page to get a lot more views to the site. It will link to the correct image, which is didn’t do before downloading your awesome plugin for Nextgen, but it still isn’t showing the proper preview. Should I turn off the image meta tags like I did with the video? I’m not sure that would help.

How do I pick a featured image from Nextgen Facebook? Looks like the ‘Maximum Number of Images’ is already set to 1. I haven’t changed it from the default. Right now Facebook is picking up the header image, the first image in the album, and some of the ads on my page, but not the image within the album.

I changed the settings as recommended. The video links are working as I want them now. I appreciate the help on that one! ??

But for Nextgen Gallery the correct photo is not being previewed on FB. It only picks up the first 3 or 4 photos. It does link to the correct photo in the gallery though, which is great, because it didn’t do that before I downloaded Open Graph. Should I just change the number of photos to something higher to have more options for thumbnails? I wish there was a better solution because my plan is to have albums with hundreds of photos and I don’t want to click through the whole album. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks,

Never mind, decided to go with a Buddypress Links to allow users to post their own links/videos. (https://www.randpaulreview.com/links/) It does what I need although I found the techhelp guy on twitter to be quite unfriendly. fyi.

I’m still using GD Star Rating so others than rate my posts as well.

I’m having the same problem. ??

That’s a simple solution. Just needed to put the link on it’s own line. Thanks for the help.
