Did you upload the zip file or just the swf file?
Saw that once in another post.

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Uploading highres images with flash uploaderHave you tried other browsers?
I’m gettintg a little beyond my comfort level here but maybe it’s a security issue.
Also, is this with the NextGen version 1.6.1? I haven’t upgraded yet and am using 1.5.5. Maybe downgrade for a bit and see what happens.

Just wanted to post what happened with Jen2swt’s site so that others may benefit.
What was happening was that the site had albums nested inside of albums and since the plugin can’t handle too many nested albums then there was a need to make seperate calls to different albums. When you do that on a page or in your template it will arrange your thumbs vertically.
The fix was to open up the nextgen css file, in this case nggallery.css and comment out the attribute
clear: both;under.ngg-albumoverviewand farther down comment out the entire entry for.ngg-clear.This fix worked in this case but you will need to test to make sure it works in yours.
Hope that helps someone.

Wow you have a lot of nested divs with that site. ??
It doesn’t appear that you need to add seperate album shortcodes to your page so I would just make another album that includes all of your galleries and then call that album on the page.
If you do that than call the album with the compact template the thumbnails will arrange themselves horizontally.
If you ever run across the situation were you want to place another album inside the ones you already have set up than see my next post as that explains what was happening with Jen2swt site.

In reply to: Tagcloud in sidebar for Nextgen galleryI know it’s old but did you run across this in your search
How to Create a Nextgen Gallery Tag Cloud in sidebar

Not sure what’s going on but from the faq it says…
Make sure you have the following in your template. (It’s in the original WP index.php template, but if you’re creating your own, you may have forgotten to include it) :
<?php wp_head(); ?>
That line would go in between your <HEAD> </HEAD> tags
Paul
Do you not get them in NextGen admin or just in your post/template file?
Have you tried to recreate thumbnails?

In reply to: Nextgen Slideshow does not center or fitUnderstand.
I was hoping that it was a CSS issue as that is an easy fix. Use either Developer Tools for IE or Firebug for FF to see what’s happening with your CSS.

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Uploading highres images with flash uploaderNot sure what to tell you other than I can get it to work on my site with one tweak (see below). As far as not getting a list of images to upload (with ‘remove’ link) I am pretty sure that that is done via javascript and is sent by the flash loader. Maybe you have a problem with your flash player? Are there any errors showing up in your status bar when you do this?
Here’s my experience with uploading large image files via nextgen.
When I try to upload more than one large >1MB file using the GD library I get lots of problems. I do get a list of images, with ‘remove’ link, to upload on my page but when I click the upload button the progressbar will freeze at seemingly random spots and with different files depending on how many times I try it and how far above the 1MB limit I go. Also, even if it shows that the first couple of files have completely uploaded the resizing and thumbnail creating never completes.
When I try to do the above using ImageMagick then there are no problems and I have yet to come across a limit to the amount of photos I can upload as long as each photo is less than my upload limit set by my webhost.
Hope that helps with your troubleshooting.

It’s based off your CSS and that is different with differnt themes.
Post a link and I can take a look if you want.

I noticed after I posted that your image above your galleries (i.e. identity, web design, etc.) was extending ever so slightly beyond your page design. It’s very slight but if it does become a problem try adding
width: autoto the.hentry IMGentry (uncomment it first) and see what that does. It worked when I did it.Paul
What version of NextGen are you using? Have you reverted back to an earlier version if you have updated recently?
Also, are you getting any errors on the page?
Paul
Have you tried just uploading one pic as a test? Maybe a small one?
Paul
Ah, thanks for replying. I hadn’t needed those options (yet?) and I can see how those would make things easier.
