NextGEN breaks slider and background images

Also experienced issues. Fixed when back on the previous version.

Thanks for additional details. We’re looking into this. For those with the issue, any specific details you can provide about what’s powering your images is helpful.

As Vicky_h and robhob are suggesting, if you updated from 2.0.40 to 2.0.57 and your slider broke, you can just roll back to 2.0.40 until we sort out what the issue is. You can grab the 2.0.40 zip file here:

And here are roll back instructions for those who aren’t sure how to do it:

All – It would be greatly appreciated if, at a minimum, a link to your site could be provided to help us to identify the issue better. If you have already rolled back to a previous version any errors we would be looking for would most likely not appear so in these roll back cases, we would greatly appreciate a Bug Report (https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/ … please reference this topic) so we can try to help get this issue sorted out.

We may need log in and FTP credentials for your WordPress installation, please include those with your Bug Report.

Thanks!

Hello,

I am getting ready to roll back now because the scripts that aren’t working are imperative to my site functionality. I can tell you that whatever is happening, it is specifically conflicting with a ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’ action in my theme. It only affects the front end, as my admin side scripts are working fine. Hope this helps.

Just updated to latest version as well (Version 2.0.57) and lost my lightbox features and my slideshow on home page.

I am using a custom theme,
have minimal plugins (backup buddy, fast secure contact form)

I will be downgrading until the issue is resolved.

@c0nc3pt.SF – Please feel free to submit a Bug Report with your site specifics as this will allow us to help much more easily.

@cindyc – Could you submit a Bug Report with your site details (thanks for what you already posted, but we may need to look at yours much more closely).

We will most likely need log in and possibly FTP credentials for your WordPress installation, please include those with the Bug Report.

Thanks!

@manfredk – We have found a specific item with the Peekaboo theme as well as a more generic one.

Please download and update your site with our latest beta version (2.0.57.1), you can get to it from this page: https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/nextgen-gallery-latest-beta/

We also suspect you will have to make a modification to your theme as well.

In peekaboo/js/init.js:

Change line 72 from $(window).load(function () {

to…

jQuery(window).load(function () {

I will try to advise the theme author of this as well, you may also want to let them know … just in case.

—-

All – if you are experiencing issues with jQuery not being defined or similar items where jQuery may no longer be enqueued then we also strongly recommend you update to the latest beta version as well.

… and we would also really appreciate if you could let us know if this sorts out the issue you were seeing.

Thanks!

Hi
Thank you for the speedy support
I downgraded which solved the issue for now in my particular theme (peekaboo)
Re your Fix above: I ftp’ ed to the theme folder peekaboo/js but do not have a init.js file in that folder so could not apply fix (for now)
Is that the right path?

I’ve just tried to upgrade from 2.0.40 to 2.0.58 and encountered the same problem.

The site with the problem is: https://kempston.co.za.

Looking forward to getting this sorted.

Cheers

Rob
