  • Hi yorgict,

    I have the same problem as you, don’t know problem source, but I found really easy workaround –
    just create thumbs by yourself on local pc (on linux you can use command: “convert -resize 200×150 *.jpg” for batch process) and then upload them to nextgen gallery thumbs directory. Don’t forget that thumbnails must have name “thumbs_ORYGINAL-PICTURE-NAME.jpg”.

    If that will not work try add to database (I suggests use phpmyadmin) following fix:
    wp_ngg_pictures -> find via “pid” picture (you can see this parameter at gallery control panel) for with thumb was loaded and click “edit” -> find “meta_data” options and replace last line to ths: {s:5:”width”;i:200;s:6:”height”;i:150;}

    Roll-back chmod settings for all pictures to 664 (or 644)
