    Can someone please advise on how I install the ‘Gallery’ and ‘WPG2’ plug-ins to my site?

    Many thanks,

    Michael.

    Uh, follow the instructions available at
    https://gallery.menalto.com

    Install the WPG2 Plugin, follow instructions.

    Hire a programmer to fix glitches.

    Strangely with some blogs it sets up quick and easy. With others it takes a fair amount of tweaking, generally involves modifying template for display.

    Hi, thanks for the reply.
    I did install and activate the WPG2 Plugin but got some errors including:

    WordPress Compatible?  Success
    URI to Gallery2 Ok?  Success
    Gallery2 can be located in G2 File Path? Failed
    Gallery2 can be initialised? Skipped Due to Validation Error
    Gallery2 Version Compatible? Skipped Due to Validation Error
    Gallery2 Module: ImageBlock Active? Skipped Due to Validation Error
    Gallery2 Module: ImageBlock Version Compatible?  Skipped Due to Validation Error
    Gallery2 Module: ImageFrame Active? Skipped Due to Validation Error
    WPG2 Output Page Type? WordPress
    WPG2 Gallery2 Rewrites Status? Off
    Embedded Page is using what Header type? Simple
    Embedded Page is using what Footer type? Simple
    Using Which WPG2 Stylesheet? Internal
    Error: embed.php cannot be located in the specified File Path.
    WPG2 plugin cannot locate the Gallery2 installation.
    
    Upon activation, WPG2 automatically looks for your Gallery2 installation in (Domain URL)/gallery2/, (Domain URL)/gallery/, (Domain URL)/photos/, (WordPress URL)/gallery2/, (WordPress URL)/gallery/, and (WordPress URL)/photos/. If your Gallery2 installation is in another directory, please go to the "WPG2 Paths" tab and enter your Gallery2 URL. embed.php

    I thought I’d be able to fix this as I do PHP, but unfortunately can’t see a solution.

    Any tips on tweaking?

    Did you do what the error told you and filled in the gallery2 path?

    It tells you how in the error.
    please go to the “WPG2 Paths” tab and enter your Gallery2 URL.

    So what I should I enter?
    Just mysite.com/wordpress/gallery ?

    Sorry to be such a newb at this.

    The answer by jeremyclark13 does not help.
    I too need to know where the Gallery2 URL is, and if it was set up by the plugin. There is nothing like that, and neither is there a file named embed.php that I can discover anywhere on the WordPress blog.
    IF one does not have a gallery yet, how is it to be installed? Does it necessitate having a folder with some images in it? Does it require an embed.php file? If so, where is the latter?

    Hello,
    The answer to this is to ensure that Gallery was installed correctly. I believe that the errors arise because if anyone tries to install the WordPress WGP2 plug-in without first installing the Gallery, then obviously it will be screwed.
    The problem with my installation was my web hosting install, that failed on file permissions. That corrected, and reinstalled, then everything is fine.

    Hope this helps.
