Next gen slideshow – images are thumbnails or skinny

Have you tried to follow this documentation?

Have not tried it myself, but following this, you should be able to customize the CSS.

Other option is to create your own display type, but I have just done that, it is not for the faint-hearted!

Thank you Ph_renny…Thank you…appreciate your help…will try this . I suspect it is just the thing thanks

ok have tried the default styles using the other options within Next Gen however after upgrading NG to the current version , the following stylesheet (static/slideshow/nextgen_basic_slideshow.css ) still had to be updated manually as above ?? and the pages with the slideshow had all skinny images about 50px high

The default style had the changes as follows:

.ngg-slideshow img {

border: none;
}

I would have thought this should have overwritten the old style in the nextgen_basix_slideshow.css

I also tried to place the default css in the themes folder but this didn’t work either just brought up an update error in the backend of the site.

I can’t even test this with plugins etc as all the sites are live sites…if a create a new wordpress site etc…all the plugins etc will be the new versions…. all these sites have a variation of plugins so I can’t seem to identify a conflict. They also have different themes?

A puzzle indeed?

Any thoughts?

Appreciate any assistance.

Hi,
I am not a specialist but try to import meta data from all pictures you have, in Bulk Actions, Manage Galleries.

For me, it has been working very well. All my photos have retrieved their good size in my slideshow.

Good luck !

Thanks Fanffan….I have just tried this and the slideshow is still not showing the complete height of the picture.

I see that several people are experiencing this issue in other posts, is Photocrati Media able to advise of a solution please?

Cheers

Question…someone in another post suggested to Add important! to the default css to overwrite the already important! code in the above css. This didn’t seem to work however changing the !important to another word eg !hotdog did give enough weight in IE to seem to work. This came from the following link:
https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/11/02/the-important-css-declaration-how-and-when-to-use-it/

Is this a suitable solution even tho it seems to work

Look forward to any feedback or advise

Update : doesn’t work on some sites still ??

Ok An update on testing this issue :

I have tested this and tested this issue as per following with no outcome other than manually changed the css file below:

wp 3.9
NG 2.0.61

Test:

1. Deactivated all plugins except for NextGen Gallery, Checked all browsers IE, Firefox, Google Chrome

Slideshow fine except Google Chrome – shows 100% width about 100px in height – standard CSs in public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_basic_gallery/static/slideshow/nextgen_basic_slideshow.css

a: Reverted to Twenty Fourteen theme

Slideshow still did not function correctly in Google Chrome- it was very small and not the 928px x 294px it should be – about 620 x 100px . Was very small both width and height

b:Changed Theme to current Customized Theme:

Slideshow not functioning correctly in Google Chrome (all other browsers were fine) – shows 100% width about 100px in height

I have now tested this issue in everyway that I know how on a live site…

It appears to be a Browser issue with Google Chrome and not a theme/ plugin conflict.

The ONLY way this slideshow works in all browsers is this manual fix:

.ngg-slideshow img {
/*max-width: 100% !important;
max-height: 100%;
width: auto;
height: auto;*/
border: none;
}

The issue with this fix is that it gets overridden every single update.

2. Placing the fix into the other options/ style/ show customization Otions etc for the default style does NOT override the original nextgen_basic_slideshow.css

This is a great plugin but would love to have a fix on this issue to continue to use it. I would buy the PRO version however not until I can guarantee this issue would not be the same however I don’t need all the bells and whistles of the PRO version .

Can anyone confirm if the price is a once of and is this price is a per site price as I could not see this anywhere on the website.

Look forward to any assistance.
