When I find a solution to something I’ve posted about, I usually come back to the thread with it; maybe it’ll help someone.

The NextGen Gallery plugin has a little more than I needed, but it works 100%, and one if its less fancy features solved my problem completely.

I was able to create an album that I titled with the main title of my comic. Then I created a gallery in that album with the title of the story. After uploading the pages, I can now add:

[imagebrowser id=x]

To any post or page and get a simple “slide show” of the material.

NextGen Gallery comes with a few fancier java or flash slideshows that are actually quite nice and simple that I might end up using for stuff other than comics, but in the meantime this was exactly what I was trying to do.

Ok, the CSS is not above my level, but the fundamental concept of looking in the most convenient, obvious place for something is, apparently.

For the sake of salvaging the usefulness of this thread, I’ll post what I did:

In the special “Gallery” tab on the dashboard is a link for “style”. I don’t know why I didn’t look here first, but I digress.

And clearly labeled by Alex Rabe & co about halfway down are the settings for the ‘Image Browser”. I deleted the line that read:

width: 100%

Then after the line:

display:block !important;

I added:

margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;

Which has me pleased as punch, I must say.

Hmm never mind. Now that I’ve cleared my cache it seems to display all of the items in my media library. Don’t want that.

Trying to find a decent comics display plugin now.

I just posted pretty much the same question – mods feel free to delete the post titled “Another iNove Title Query”. If someone can answer this thoroughly then my thread will be redundant.

I’ve been able to remove the title & tagline (don’t ask me how, it was one of those things where I kept trying stuff until I got results.) Only the results are starting to bug me. There’s a little line of underscores that separates the title & tagline, and it still shows a tiny bit in my header.

So, answering the OP’s question will probably answer mine too. How can I find what’s generating that little line?

I imagine gears works with something on Google’s server side, so they probably made the changes that affected WordPress there, and not within the add-on itself. I’m just speculating though.

SOLVED – for me anyway. I disabled the Google Gears Firefox add-on. Not just for my WordPress site – I had to disable the add-on entirely.

The bizarre thing is that I installed that add-on a while back and it didn’t affect anything; the upload/insert function continued to work until this morning. Then it crashed every time I tried to use it. Until I disabled Gears.

Buh-bye Gears.

Hmm, me too! What’s odd is that I installed Google Gears a while back, and the upload/insert function worked fine until just today.

Disabling Gears for my site didn’t do the trick, I had to disable the add-on entirely.

And similarly to endgamepr’s situation, the feature works fine in Opera. I noticed the sticky post and looked it over, but none of the things mentioned there seem to apply. My install was working in Firefox and then it stopped.

Pardon the “me too” post, but I’m having the same problem that endgamepr is describing. My install of WordPress, running on Byethost’s free server has never given me any problems until I tried to insert an image today. The upload box frame appears, but Firefox crashes before anything shows up in it.

This is indeed strange. What could cause this? And more importantly, how can I fix it?
