click to edit as WP featured image

With NextGEN Gallery 2.1.46 it is still the same.

@andyt8 – Do you see this issue if you temporarily change to a default WordPress Twenty series theme?

– Cais.

Hello,

Thank you for your answer. I will install one Twenty series and try it. At the moment I use Suffusion 4.4.9.

I tried it with Twenty sixteen. There were no preview picture – so it look like the Twenty Theme doesn’t use preview picture.
My theme Suffusion is able to use all included pictures as preview picture.

It seems to me nextgen gallery show only one preview picture – I was wrong that there is a different picture between preview and edit view. It is the same picture if I edit an article. Before some updates the picture was smaller and there were no text inside. Therefore it look like, the best would be if I would be able to disable the text (click for edit) and change the size according to the older nextgen gallery version.

Please for response, regards Andyt

@andyt8 – We will be looking into this further as we are seeing other similar reports but with different underlying criteria.

Thanks for the additional details and troubleshooting!

Ok, thank you for your information. Hopefully there will be a fast fix for the problem.

@andyt8 – Although I do not have a fix (mostly because I still cannot reproduce the issue) but I may have a work-around that will help. Please add the following to your theme’s functions.php (or appropriate “site” plugin) file:

/** Clear Preview Image watermark */
add_filter( 'ngg_igw_placeholder_line_1_settings', '__return_null' );
add_filter( 'ngg_igw_placeholder_line_2_settings', '__return_null' );

This should remove the watermark text from both the front-facing views (the issue at hand) and will also remove it from the TinyMCE editor’s visual tab content area as well.

Please let us know if this helps!

Thanks!

Thanks a lot! Yes, that helped. The text is away, but the size is still the same. At the moment it look Ok for me.

Do you have some further search for the fix on it?

@andyt8 – Thanks for the update!! The image height issue appears to be theme related … have a look at this CSS element:

.suf-mag-excerpt-image

It’s currently set to 100px, I would suggest changing/setting it to 200px (the image height) or auto (which I suspect would be more appropriate).

See if that helps.

Thanks, again!

Thank you for your answer.

I tried do adjust .suf-mag-excerpt-image, but it seems to me, I do it wrong because it don’t work.

According to my understand, “.suf-mag-excerpt-image” isn’t a variable from nextgen. It is from Suffusion – my theme and therefore it would be the wrong way. I want smaller pictures from Nextgen Gallery in that situation and not make Suffusion do allow using bigger one.

Is there any change to reduce the with of the preview pictures of Nextgen gallery?

@andyt8 – The theme has full control over those images, they are not inserted into those elements by NextGEN Gallery but derived from the post content by the code in Suffusion, thus you would have to adjust the Suffusion elements to fit them better.

Although the watermark text on the images was from NextGEN Gallery, that is where our influence in this particular case ends. The rest will be due to the theme’s code/styles.

Thanks!

Hello and thank you for your answer. It seems to me a little bit strange, but the theme doesn’t change – only nextgen gallery from one version to another one and the size of the images changed.

However I started to search about that with theme options. I also wrote to their creator & help team.

The main problem with watermark text is solved. Therefore I change to resolved. Thanks for your help.

@andyt8 – Thanks for the update!
