It’s the entry in your layout.css .hentry IMG.

Try commenting out that entry and see what it does to the rest of your site. If it messes things up let me know and I can suggest a few things.

I’ve been following this thread since you started it and I thought I knew what you were talking about but now I’m not so sure.

You can insert a gallery picture in your post with ‘WYSIWYG editing’ like what the Media Library does. I do it on my blog.

Are you talking about some other aspect of that?

Paul

Have you checked Developer Tools when looking at your site in IE?

Hit F12 to get there. Find the area in question under the HTML tab (it’s the default when the window opens) and on the right it will show the CSS.

I’m guessing that’s were your problem is.

Paul

Options>>Gallery in the Nextgen Admin section. There is a checkbox for Integrate slideshow.

Paul

Jquery cycle can do that too with editing. Of course all of the above examples can do it with some editing. ??

Isn’t that what the slideshow option does? You can find older version of the JWPlayer that don’t show the logo.

There’s also the jQuery Cycle option in the latest release, although that seems to be causing some errors for a few people right now.

Paul

In your Style.css you have an entry for #sidebar OBJECT which is giving a width of 300px and a height of 225px.

I know that your Youtube video also uses that same identifier but the embed code for that does define a width and height so maybe it’s OK to comment out the #sidebar OBJECT entry and see what happens.

Paul

You could check the Overview page in the NextGen admin and it will tell you how much memory you have at your disposal. 128 or more and your probably right in looking elsewhere.

By the way you can find all the earlier version of Nextgen here.

Have you looked under Options>>Effects and either changed the JavaScript Thumbnail effect to none or custom and added your link code?

Paul

Nextgen is guessing as to what path ImageMagick is located in. Maybe contacting your webhost might either give you the right path or get them to install the module. I’ve seen stranger things happen :).

Smaller images are OK because they don’t require as much memory on your server. When you start trying to resize larger photos using the GD library than you will quickly run out of memory and it seems that if you try and manipulate a few large photos in a row it doesn’t release memory quick enough to get to the next photo. Or atleast that has been my experience on the one graphic manipulation project that I have done.

I would bombard your webhost with requests for ImageMagick. It doesn’t take that much to install.

Paul

Yeah, it’s really, really frustrating.

One last try from me, the plugin guesses were your server places ImageMagick. If that is incorrect then it will throw errors. Maybe a quick email to your webhost might get things going. If they don’t have it installed than perhaps they can do that for you (never hurts to ask).

I’ve worked on application before that used the GD library and it’s quite a resource hog compared to ImageMagick.

Paul

You don’t want to use lightbox for that?

Lightbox, or thickbox for that matter, has space below the image to do just that.

Paul

Check your other post.

Paul

Check to see if you can run ImageMagick. Option is under General Options.

GD can be limited in what it can do. Especially if you give it a long list of photos to work with. It seemed to time out for me a lot sometimes giving errors and sometimes not. When I switched to ImageMagick, which doesn’t put as much drain on your server as GD does, then everything (uploads, thumb creation) worked great.

Paul

Also check if you can use ImageMagick (General Options under Select graphic library).

I noticed when I first installed nextgen awhile back I was getting errors on upload and whenever I tried to change photo sizes. Sometimes I wouldn’t get errors showing up, just nothing would happen. GD is pretty good at manipulating graphics but times out really quickly. Switching to imagemagik solved those problems for me.
