@cybacolt Thanks for this. I’ve deleted the . in .mp3 and uploaded the changed file but I still have the same problem. Just a link and no player. Very frustrating! This is the BEST plugin….if I could just get it working!

It’s not working for me in Chrome…or any other browser. Just a link, no play button. I’m so bummed! This is the best mp3 plugin!

Any suggestions for another plugin that’s similar? (must also have download button)

If he’s not going to fix this I sadly have to move on…

I’m having the same problem. I have <?php wp_footer(); ?> and <?php wp_header(); ?> in my documents, I have tried all three variants (a href, wpaudio url, audio), but it displays the name of the MP3 file as a clickable link. No play button.

This plugin actually used to work briefly when I was building the site on an IP address. Once I switched over to the actual URL of the site, the plugin no longer works. The URL of the mp3 files does match the URL in WOrdPress blog settings, so that’s not the issue.

I’ve also deleted the plugin and reinstalled it. Nothing works. Any ideas?

Forgot to mention – if you want additional text to appear on your gallery page (The Fighter Premiere) – just go into that WordPress page for that gallery to edit it and add something in the html editor – like a description. Be careful not to mess with the album code that generated when you created the page in Manage Gallery.

@ideric – no problem! hope it helped you!

@mysterythetiger – don’t give up! It’s a great plugin! I’m a total newbie, never touched WordPress until last Thursday. Once you figure out how to do this it’ll be worth. What confused me was that the developer calls what most people consider ‘galleries’ ALBUMS and ‘albums’ GALLERIES. Keep that in mind. The ALBUM will house GALLERIES and the galleries contain the photos.

To create an ALBUM that contains multiple ALBUMS that each contain GALLERIES that each contain images – I’ll try to break it down as best as I can:

Step 1: Create an ALBUM to house all of your other ALBUMS. Let’s call the album: Photo Galleries. Go to Manage Albums and click Add New Album to do this. If this is the first album you’ve created, your album ID is 1.

Step 2: Create a new WordPress page to will display this album, Photo Galleries. I called the page “Photo Galleries”

Step 3: In the HTML editor for this page enter [album=#,compact] OR [album=#,extended], depending on which sort of view you want. (If you’re unsure see: https://nextgen.boelinger.com/album/). Replace # with the number that corresponds to your album ID. In this case: [album=1,compact]

Step 4: Make two more album pages (or however many you want, you shouldn’t need many). These new albums pages will be the sub-pages (child pages) for your main album. Let’s call them: “Concert Photos” and another album “Celebrity Photos”. Make sure you make the Parent Page for each new album: Photo Galleries.

Step 5: Once you have created this Photo Galleries page and albums and child albums, it’s time to create some GALLERIES and put some Galleries into the two child Albums you created. To do this, go back to the NextGEN administration menu and click on “Add Gallery.” Let’s do two…Create names for the galleries: “The Fighter Premiere” and “Foo Fighters”. Click add new gallery in NextGen. Name the first one The Fighter Premiere. Upload your images and choose The Fighter Premiere from the dropdown menu.

When your images upload, go into Manage Gallery and click to get to The Fighter Premiere album. Give it a Title and Description. Now create a new page for this album. For the “Create New Page” dropdown select the name of your Album page that you created earlier – I want this to go into “Celebrity Photos” – and click on “Add page.” This will automatically create a child page under your Album page containing this gallery. Make sure you click to save changes. Once you click “Add page,” the “Page Link to” field will automatically update. Also select a “Preview image” which will be your gallery cover. Click to save changes after everything you do.

Step 6: Last thing is to make this new gallery “The Fighter Premiere” you just created show up on your Album page “Celebrity Photos” which is on your Photo Galleries page.

In NextGen admin area, click “Album” and select your album (Celebrity Photos) from the dropdown. Then drag and drop your gallery (The Fighter Premiere) from the right into the album on the left. Click “Update”. Now this gallery will show up in your Album “Celebrity Photos”.

Repeat these steps to add more galleries into the same album. Or add more galleries into a different album. To do that: create a gallery to go into another album. (Foo Fighters to go into Concert Photos album). For the “Create New Page” dropdown select the name of your other Album page that you created earlier – “Concert Photos” – and click on “Add page.” This will automatically create a child page under your Album page containing this gallery.

Visit your page: Photo Galleries – and everything should work like my gallery does. Go to my site and under Photo Galleries in main nav you get to the page of Albums:
https://cinematicdebris.com/?page_id=77

Click the first album: Celebrities: Sets Sightings, Premieres

This brings you to another page that contains two albums, one if The Fighter Premiere

Click that and it brings you to the page for that album.

Hope this helps!

figured it out!!! i went to manage albums then clicked to edit album and i made it link to itself.

Hi Ideric –

Did you find a solution to this? I think I have the same issue:

I wanted 1 page called Photo Galleries to appear in main navigation that would open a page that showed all of my ALBUMS (I’ve got 2) and when an album is clicked it will show all of my GALLERIES for that ALBUM. (I’ve only uploaded 1 Gallery so far but will have many).

I’ve created a page for all of my ALBUMS called “Photo Galleries” and its link is in main nav.
I’ve created 2 ALBUMS: “Celebrities: Sets, Sightings, Premieres” and “Movie Stills and Posters”
I’ve created pages for all of these.
I’ve created 1 GALLERY so far: “Reese Witherspoon Star Ceremony” and made a page for that.

**PROBLEM:
ALBUM “Celebrities: Sets, Sightings, Premieres”:
https://cinematicdebris.com/?page_id=80
tag to display all ALBUMS from “Celebrities” Album:
[album=1,compact]

When I’m on the “Photo Gallery” page (https://cinematicdebris.com/?page_id=77)
the resulting page from clicking the “Celebrity” ALBUM is:
https://cinematicdebris.com/?page_id=77&album=1

but it should bring you to the “Celebrity” ALBUM:
https://cinematicdebris.com/?page_id=80

Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thx!
