// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
$table_prefix  = 'wp_';   // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

You can easily run numerous WP-installations in one database. The only thing you need to be aware of is that each wp-installation needs a unique prefix set in wp-config.php, i.e. wp1_, wp2_ or anything you like.

Same here.

Activated network on my primary blog and set it all up (OK so far). When I noticed that the network option didn’t really work for me, I went back to the original wp-config.php.

Still no problem but when I add the network code to wp-config.php, I get the same message (“existing network detected”).

btw – I cleaned the db (in which three separate wp-installations are up and running) from the network entries.

I don’t think you can expect others to read through all the post on the other website, therefore, a brief summary of your problem would have been extremely (!) helpful if you expect support here.

OK, enough lecturing …

zip-Upload can be tricky with 1&1. Especially, when there are quite a number of pictures involved.
-> Have you tried uploading a zip-archive with only few (e.g. three) pictures?

However, the most reliable method in NGG (with 1&1) usually is
– add a gallery via the NGG-interface
– ftp-upload to the wp-content/gallery/xy folder
– scan folder for new images (via NGG).

Done.

If this had bee your initial post, that would have been far more accurate than the original one.

Apart from the fact that only one out of three of your “cons” is actually about UI.

1 pure taste (initial post)
2 not valid as it is possible (and pretty obvious in the UI, too!)
3 partly true but I think one can expect that those setting up a blog should be capable of clicking one button to the developer’s site for more information. Maybe not …

However, I agree, it would be more elegant if a concise documentation was included, agree.

I also agree that the concept of ‘album’ vs ‘galleries’ is not something that is highly intuitive at the beginning.

The concept of WP (and all related projects) is very much a community-based approach, therefore suggestions, ideas, and constructive criticism or even (coding) help are the strenghts. Not random complaints.

On the other hand, Wp (and also NGG) is so easy to handle that far too many people are using it … ??

How about storing mages on a compeletely different webspace?

I have limited space where my site is hosted but plenty of space elsewhere where I can’t install wordpress (no MySQL).

Possible?

There are more clear:both items than you might think. ??

Link doesn’t work (as Alex already said). Hard to help you …

Yes, it’s that simple and always (!) worth a try if you run into problems. Basic rule, easy to remember (and even easier to forget … ;-).

Many plugins are not coded all too well, I assume, and can therefore cause all sorts of trouble when interacting. This doe NOT include NGG, which is great and seems to have a very slid code base!

How about this?

rel="slimbox[%GALLERY_NAME%]"

If that doesn’t work, I suppose there’s a conflict with another plugin, worth checking out, too.

You can use the following plugin:
https://liferain.com/downloads/wp-piclens-plus/

Straight forward use, works OK.

The upcoming version of NGG (1.0) will have a piclens option built in. ??

That means yo have to change the permissions on your server (to 777) to be able to add a folder via NGG. This can usually be achived with your ftp-applications.

If yo don’t want/can’t do that, you can manually create the folder via ftp and it should then work.

Step 1
Delete and upload NGG again – still trouble?

Step 2:
Deactivate all plugins and activate NGG – still problems?

No, there isn’t (as far as I’m aware of). And that’s a good thing!

You usually have limitations (traffic, storage) with your blog and if anyone can upload to your blog, you may soon run into severe problems. This is for very, very important security reasons rather an advantage.

If someone is supposed to be able to upload pictures, it has to be via specific roles only.

This IS the solution (I mentioned in the other thread) – at least in your case!

Take out the other clear:both (look around line 161) in the css and you’re fine!
