NextGen Gallery TagCloud

Just found the solution: it was my fault not to check exactly what was going on with permalinks ??

Shame on me,
Stefano

Hi Stefano, care to share the solution? Because I have similar issues. I have a tagcloud which vreates links of the form “mywebsite.com/?ngg_tag=tagname” and when I follow the link I just get a “Sorry, not found” error page.

Thanks!

Hi Markushoho,
if everything in your NG gallery is properly setup, then try to check the permalink option under GALLERY>OPTIONS>GENERAL OPTIONS.
For me, it just worked fine by deselecting the “Activete permalinks” checkbox.
Hope it works for you too,
Stefano

Hi. Thanks for the reply.

I realized I ran into the problem of tagcloud inside a widget.

First I used the WordPress internal tagcloud widget and chose Browser-Tags to be shown in the cloud. And that uses the tag key/slug from NGG, which is ngg_tag and doesn’t yield valid pages. Moving to enabling shortcodes in widgets and using [tagcloud] in a text widget then creates the correct permalinks, kind of. Still some trouble with page ids, but essentially things work now.

I see.
I started using an additional plugin to handle tagcloud navigation with NGG. The plugin is called NGG Powertags, and it did work fine, but then I realized that NGG already included such features, so I opted to discard this extra plugin and now I get exactly what I planned.
To cut a long story short, I guess I should spend a bit more in checking plugin’s support and FAQ pages, before starting to panic: it’s the newbie fare I paying ??
