Header images too small

    A recent update to nextgen-gallery seems to have had the effect of making the images in the header banner of this site appear very small instead of the intended size. The plugin is invoked by the following in the header.php of the (customized) theme

    <div class=”headerslider”>
    <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[ngg_images gallery_ids=”1″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_slideshow” gallery_width=”1000″ gallery_height=”288″]’); ?>
    </div>

    The images themselves have the size used in the invocation, i.e. 1000×288 but now appear very small. The effect is similar to part of the problems I with the other site I manage, which was dealt with in a previous thread, but the problem is not the same.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @mahmacc,

    Your site’s header seems to use some specific styling that is preventing the inserted gallery shortcode from showing up correctly. Please either contact your theme provider for some insight on a CSS solution that would allow adding the slideshow gallery into the header or verify yourself the header’s theme styling to see what restricts the gallery from showing up correctly. Assuming that it is about restricted height, width and/or overflow.

    Well, reverting to Nextgen Gallery 3.0.8 without changing anything else has removed the problem. Morevover it worked fine up to about version 3.2.20. So the problem cannot be some CSS code restricting height, width or overflow. I am far from an expert on creating or modifying themes (our customized theme was provided for us a few years ago before I took over running it, and I have never written a theme). Nor do I know much about writing css. But I find it strange that without altering anything except the Nextgen Gallery version I get such a different effect – which naturally makes me suspect some problem in Nextgen not in our theme. I shall not update Nextgen on the live website again until I know from a tryout on my private copy that a new Nextgen version will not cause problems. If somebody can suggest what to look at or change to assist in achieving that I would be grateful.
