Thanks for sharing that possible workaround –

I’ve just implemented it, and it didn’t seem to make any difference while viewing in Firefox and Chrome, despite clearing browser history. But then I opened it in Safari, and it looks perfect there.

Could there be a difference in browser renderings? Obviously I need it to look right in all browsers, but it just seems odd that 2 browsers would look off and one browser would be perfect.

Thanks for the suggestion – simply getting out of my theme and activating another theme did the trick. But just in case, I put my theme back and then went through all of the plugins one-by-one and deactivated them just to see if something else was causing the problem, and nothing else caused the problem.

Which now has me in this situation: the theme I’m using (Yoko) used to work with NextGEN Gallery perfectly fine, but obviously something with newer versions of Yoko is now causing this problem. Is there a reasonable way to figure out what in Yoko might be causing the problem and just convert to a child-theme to fix it?

If I can’t pinpoint what’s wrong in Yoko, that will mean finding another theme that I can customize to look the exact same, since the client doesn’t want a new “look” for the site, but the client is not going to be happy about a complete overhaul. Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated.

The slideshow is inside of <div class=”single-entry-content”> and I don’t see anything related to that in the Yoko style.css that might throw off this slideshow.

Hi QuantumCloud,
Thanks for pointing that out – I came to this thread based on the comments from BabyTommy about NextGEN galleries and slideshows, and just noticed after seeing your comment that this thread actually falls under the Simple Link Directory. I’ll check the other threads for NextGEN as I’m anxious to solve this problem.

I’m still having issues with random slideshows getting displayed out of place and in a cropped format. In looking at the source code, it’s the <div class=”ngg-galleryoverview ngg-slideshow”> that has at least 200 pixels of padding on top, which pushes the <div> down and makes it overlap the content below. It has the proper slideshow image width, but it only displays the top half of the picture; the bottom half is cropped away and not visible.

The odd thing is that all of the slideshows are built the same way, and looking at the source code, are all showing the exact same setup and code structure, yet random slideshows have this odd effect going on. So it’s not like another plugin or something is disrupting the overall slideshow code, because some of the existing slideshows display normally.

I’m also trying to use some of the basic “options” that are described here: https://www.imagely.com/docs/nextgen-gallery-shortcodes/

but when I do something like specify the size, it throws everything off.

I’m not sure how to upload a screen shot here, but I’ll provide a link to my problem – for some reason the slideshow is cropping the image to half of its original height and is overlaying the slide on top of other content, even though the shortcode for the slideshow should place it directly in the whitespace above where it is now. I’m stumped as to why this is happening:

Hi Tom,
Not sure if my reply above was confusing, but to answer your question in different words, I have an uploaded image on my home page within the content section that I’m hoping to make full-bleed. I’m not having any luck eliminating the padding around it, if you have any other suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.

An image I’ve added inside my content (I didn’t see anything about a featured image in the “customize” section of my free version of the theme). The image looks great on desktop, but on smartphones in portrait mode, the padding around it makes the same image so small, that I think a full bleed (for both all screen sizes) would look great for my purposes.
Thanks for your quick reply!

I found the same solution on other thread about changing wp_mail() to mail() and removing $attachments, and it worked for me too.

I started to re-install the items in the portfolio without any image label, and they started to reappear, but when I clicked “update,” it wiped out everything AGAIN!

I just tried adding more information to the “image label” for the picture, and after updating the portfolio, it wiped out the entire portfolio! I had 4 items displaying in this particular portfolio, and when I added more info (including a
tag within the “image label”), that’s when it wiped everything out.

Same problem here. The demo looked nice, but if I can’t even install the plugin, there’s obviously some big problems.

I found a workaround, not sure if this will cause me any troubles down the line: I edited template-tags.php again, taking out the link and replacing the author with my site’s name, and then saved as template-tags2.php and uploaded to the theme’s “inc/” folder (not the child theme). Then I had to edit functions.php and have it call template-tags2.php instead of the original.

It works, it just seems like a LOT of trouble to stop the author name and e-mail to be output.

I tried

.site-header {
background: #0c3062;
}

and also tried:

.site-header {
background-color: #0c3062;
}

and neither one had any effect, which seems strange. Any ideas?

Thanks so much for your help! It’s a great theme, and your speedy support is very much appreciated!!
