I would also like to do this – did you find a solution? (obviously not on this forum).

That’s brilliant, thank you very much for the reply – I just assumed this to be core functionality.

Just to wrap up this issue, in case anybody else runs into this:

The problem was the UrbanVPN extension for Chromium browsers. I don’t know why it didn’t affect other sites, just my own WordPress blog.

Not present in Opera, present in Edge (which I think is Chromium) and not present when I rendered in a few different broswers using a comparison tool. Thanks for the assistance, it must then be an extension like you suggest. Really odd behaviour.

Yep, if logged out or in. Using Chrome and tested in incognito mode.

I’ve added a link to a screenshot of the site, source code and style.

Thanks again for your help, really appreciated!

I am guessing the error is because the plugin is so old and no longer compatible. I would like something to provide this info as a widget. Did you manager to find a working alternative?

Thanks again – really appreciated!

I settled with
[ngg src="tags" ids="fav" display="basic_thumbnail" override_thumbnail_settings="1" thumbnail_width="100" thumbnail_height="75" thumbnail_crop="0" images_per_page="6" number_of_columns="3" order_by="rand()"]

and for the CSS, I only wanted navigation to be hidden in the sidebar (for my current template) and not in content so I used:

#secondary .ngg-navigation {display: none !important;}

This very closely mimics the original widget. I’ll see if there is a formal feature request for the widget,

Cheers.

Thanks – that’s superb! I’ve been trying to find documentation on using shortcodes but couldn’t find a definitive resource. the shortcode doesn’t quite mimic the random picture widget because the thumbnails are bigger and there is no limit to the number of picture used (which causes pagination).

I found that adding images_per_page=”6″ limits the images but still the thumbs need to be resized – any ideas on…
– On how to specify the thumbnail size (I will then try number_of_columns=”3″)
– How to hide pagination
Then it would be perfect for me. Thanks again for the original reply and thanks in advance for any follow-up (if can’t be done, that’s also useful to know). James
