    – WordPress up to date? yes
    – NextGEN up to date? yes
    – What version of NextGEN Gallery did you upgrade from? I didn’t document what version I upgraded from.

    (please confirm the following, with your server host tech) :
    – MySQL up to date (at least 5.0)? yes
    – PHP up to date (at least 5.2.4)? yes 5.4
    – The mod_rewrite Apache module activated? yes
    – PHP Safe Mode OFF? yes

    hosted by Godaddy shared linux server
    running Cold Theme version 1.9 by e404 Themes

    Issue 1:
    After updating to latest version of nextgen, clicking on thumbnails brings up the images in fancybox lightbox effect as the full size the images were originally uploaded as. Before I updated, the images in lightbox were sized to be web friendly and their was an option at the top corner of the lightbox to expand it to larger size. I checked settings in other options – image options and I have yes selected for “Automatically resize images after upload”. Is there a fix to this?

    Issue 2:
    after update, thumbnail columns don’t align. They’re close but not perfectly aligned as they were before the update. Is their a fix to this?

    @areach – My first thought is you were using the Highslide Lightbox library which is no longer bundled with NextGEN Gallery so your site would have been reverted to the default Fancybox Lightbox library.

    As to the thumbnail alignment, a link to where this is happening would likely be more helpful.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the response Cais.

    No, I’ve always been using fancybox with nextgen.

    Here’s link to one of my gallery thumbnail pages: https://www.andrewreach.com/?page_id=1978

    Really appreciate your help on this.

    @areach – We have not made any changes to the Fancybox library that is bundled with NextGEN Gallery … perhaps you were using a third-party Lightbox library?

    Don’t think I’m using third-party. The only plug-in I have related to lightbox is “Add LightBox & Title” by ppalli. I deactivated it but no change.

    @areach – I’m not sure what would be causing the issues you are seeing as we did not change anything in that particular bundled library.

    Can’t think of any other details. Is there somewhere in the CSS code that specifies spacing of thumbnails where it can be tweaked. Would it be possible for me to give you access to my wordpress dashboard?

    Plugin Contributor photocrati

    (@photocrati)

    @areach – Your thumbnails images do not appear to the same size as each other … making them all exactly the same size would likely go much further than most custom CSS approaches.

    under other options, thumbnail options I have the following settings:

    Default Thumbnail Dimensions: 150 x 150

    Set Fixed Dimensions: Yes

    Plugin Contributor photocrati

    (@photocrati)

    @areach – Those dimensions are used as maximums, they are not used as specific dimensions.

    All my thumbs are 150 x 150. I checked the gallery thumb folders and copied to my computer and checked them. All are 150 x 150.

    I’ve copied a portion of my theme; Cold Theme: Stylesheet (style.css) below. Could there be something here that is causing the problem? Thanks again for your help on this. I’m disabled and rebuilding all my galleries would be too much for me.

    @areach – What happens if you remove all of the custom CSS you are trying to apply to NextGEN Gallery related items?

    – Cais.

    (@areach)

    Hi Cais. Removed the nextgen related items from the css and the thumbnails align now. Thank you. I have one more question for you.

    Here’s a link to one of my galleries: https://www.andrewreach.com/?page_id=306

    You’ll notice that the thumbnails are close to the left side and not centered on the white space. Is there a simple line of code I can write in the css style sheet that will center the thumbnails on the white area?

    Thanks again for all your help.

    Plugin Contributor photocrati

    (@photocrati)

    @areach – You could try something along these lines:

    /** Center Basic Thumbnails */
    .ngg-galleryoverview {
        text-align: center !important;
    }
    .ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box {
        float: none !important;
        display: inline-block !important;
    }

    Thanks!

    – Cais.
