I should have explained this further I think. I’m looking for some way to control the widgets in the ADMIN, not the frontend. Right now I need a ton of custom sidebars, and there are so many that it there is no way to see the boxes on the left to drag them into the sidebar widgets. I’ve seen 1 or 2 themes in the past that had a drop down menu at the top where you could select the widgets you want to see, so I’m looking for some way to add some code to the functions.php file to allow for a drop down menu in the admin, where you can select a widget to show up there.

Think that about explains it (hard to explain).

Thanks!

mibsolutionsllc: You can create an Album, then drag the gallery into that Album. Then on your page, insert the Album (instead of the Gallery) using Compact mode… Then in the Options > Gallery tab, make sure not to check the “Deactivate gallery page link” box.

amj: Sorry, I’m not sure on that one, but I think it just automatically works that way when you click on the first image in a gallery.

Make sure the url to the imagerotator.swf file is the full URL and that it’s being recognized in the “Slideshow” tab.

You might want to try using Firefox Firebug or Web Developer Add-ons so you can see what CSS to change. Also might want to use the W3C Validator to make sure you’re not missing any div tags in the theme somewhere.

This page has both Firefox Addons: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=Web+Developer&cat=all&x=0&y=0

There’s a little button in the text editor, just click on that and select your gallery or album…

I don’t even use the lightbox that’s installed with NGG, I found it easier to just install Lightbox Plus, that works great and doesn’t require any coding, it just automatically works.

I’ve had this happen a few times, and fixed it by setting a different number of thumbnails to show on the page and also the number of columns.

Your URL says “Untrusted Connection” so I didn’t check the file names, but I found that when you add the Custom Fields for your files, you have to name the files exactly as they are named in the media directory you’re uploading to – without the .mp3 extension if you’re hiding that. For instance, the Custom Field Name should be: mp3 then the name of the file in the Value field, such as: My-Song-Title (just an example).

Here too. Click Tracking didn’t work, and it changed the URL to something that caused errors so I had to disable it and use the full URL in the code instead of %link%. Showed 404 errors when click tracking was still enabled.

Awesome! Thank you so much for the fast response, the updated plugin, and for posting a message to me ??

PERFECT!!! WORKS GREAT! Thanks esmi you’re awesome!

Actually, that code above is not working properly ??

I saw a post with a link to a PDF file and the text after it was gone, and the link text itself was replaced with “Original Publication” …
Weird, I know. And the link was in the wysiwyg, not in a custom field.

So back to square one…

absolutely awesome, thank you!

Thanks for the response. I’m actually trying to find a slider again for a new project and this would be great, but I already installed it through the Plugins and it doesn’t appear in my custom theme, that’s what the issue was the last time. I am not using a default theme, so I was wondering how to add this to my theme so it appears on the frontend. I couldn’t find any code anywhere to add to the theme files.

That’s a good idea, I’ll keep that in mind for other projects if I need it. I didn’t downgrade for the site I was working on, but I used a Query to load a page from the admin instead and it worked great:

<?php $page_query = new WP_Query('post_type=page&post_parent=2'); ?>
								<?php while ($page_query->have_posts()) : $page_query->the_post(); ?>
								<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
								<?php the_content(); ?>
								<?php endwhile; ?>

The code is just to load a child page, in this case the parent page (the Homepage) is ‘2’ and I have 1 child page beneath it that I’m loading without the plugin.

Thanks for the response, hopefully the plugin will get fixed at some point…
