• Today I have the new Nextgen Galery, this time to re-install the version 2.07. In almost all the articles, however, appear “hieroglyphics”. For example, “??” instead of” “?” ?¤” instead of “?”, “??” instead of “u” and so on. Umlauts (in German available) and special characters are not shown correctly so do not.

    On my blog WordPress 3.6 is installed and the theme “itheme2” in version 1.3.9 (updated this morning).

  • Today I downloaded the latest beta 2.0.11 and finally also this has been solved! You can see how it works at my NGG test site:

    The problem is, I use the old shortcodes and have no time to switch them to the new shortcodes.
    Example:
    [singlepic id = 497 w = 200 h = 150]

    And that’s not the only problem.

    The second problem concerns the display of singlepics – see my post:
    Error message: “no images found” more than two singlepics in an article (1 post)

    @martina Schein

    Do you mean that even if I wait for a new version of NGG 2.X that works all my previous pictures will say away?

    I have a travel blog with close to 4000 pictures. Most of which I have inserted with the shortcode [singlepic id = 497 w = 200 h = 150].

    A lot of them now displays the text “no images found” instead which I dont think improved the readers experience of my blog one bit.

    I haven’t rolled back to NGG 1.9.13 becuase of the work it involves and instead was keeping my fingers crossed that Photocrati will solve the bugs and present a working version of NGG via the automatic uploader soon.

    But if it will not help because they’ve changed the shortcodes…

    Although I have not quite so many singlepics involved, but since my blog is purely private, I have not time to change the old to the new shortcodes.

    And even if I had the time, what happens when a new version is released? Do I have to change everything again. No, that’s decided me to elaborate.
    When a new version is released, it must be ensured that the old commands still work, so the whole thing is backwards compatible in my opinion.

    I set back to the old version ngg 1.9.13, because with the hieroglyphs and images not displayed the whole thing just looks bad.

    Yes, my thoughts exactly!

    That is one reason why I hesitate to roll-back. Using NGG 1.9.13 isn’t a long-term solution because sooner or later a new version of WordPress will make NGG 1.9.13 obsolete.

    I read among the reviews some people who where considering making a fork of NGG 1.9.13 and maintain that. If they do, I will use their plugin in the future.

    Having so many pictures it isn’t easy to change into another plugin.

    At the moment I am waiting (and grinding my teeths and are at least greatful that the season for C?te d’Azur (my main topic in my travel blog) is over.) At least I am not adding any pictures to my NGG-galleries, I use Instagram (via Instagrabber) and the built-in picture archive for the new posts (but most of my traffic are to old ones that at the moment I don’t even won’t to look at).

    Perfectly.

    Yesterday I installed the version 2.0.11, and there is no more hieroglyphs.

    It now also shows all images.

    I am very happy.
