[plugin: Next Gen Gallery – After update it doesn’t slideshow

It’s a remaining bug in wordpress for binary files , will be fixed in 2.7

https://trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/7568

I think I have the same problem – I updated nggallery “automatically” and now the flash application doesn’t work anymore, the pictures are not in a square they are all one under the other. could you please tell me how to solve the problem. I’ve already removed and reinstalled nggallery manually but there’s no change and i tested it with FF3 and IE7 – there’s no diffrence ??

could you please explain the ‘permission’ problem to me, you’re talking about the folder permissions? like these 3-digit code (when you permit everyone everything its 777).

thanks for your help, the page is: https://dugee.sf-ogame.de/blog/

Permission explained here : https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_File_Permissions

somehow i couldn’t solve the problem … first of all can someone tell me which permission i have to set for which folder and then what’s the next step? installing the plugin once more? de- and reactive it???

and has anyone taken a look on my page? my problem sounds similar to you problems but it’s slightly different.

thanks for your help!!

Josh’s recc. of renaming the plugin folder to “nggallery” worked for me. Thanks Josh!

Hello,
I had exactly the same problem that Dugee 2 days ago when upating the plugin automatically. All my pictures disappeared but I managed to show them again after remaining the folder “nextgen-gallery” into “nggallery” (why does the name had changed??).
But now the pictures gallery don’t show up correctly (1 column instead of 5) like if the css was not recognized, and the slideshows don’t upload. It’s even worth in Firefox.
Here is my website: https://www.planete-coursdeau.com/wordpress/?page_id=15
Please help us save this bug as we are many with the same problem.
Thanks in advance

in such cases I suggest always to reupload all files manually per FTP and check as well the permission. Normally the name didn’t need to be changed

Erg. I’ve read this entire thread and done all the tips, and still to no avail. I even downgraded to a release of NextGen that I know was working on a client site. Still no slideshow!

Any more tips, advice or suggestions?

I’m running WordPress version 2.5-RC3 because 2.6 broke my theme.

I’ve posted this issue elsewhere, but it appears that this thread is more applicable to my problems as they are the same as everyone else that has posted here thus far. After upgrading to the newest version of WordPress about 1 month ago, the NextGen Gallery stopped working. I can no longer get pictures to show-up on my pages/posts and the slideshows only show the busy icon. I’ve done (I think) most of the tips offered in this thread, but to no avail. I’m a bit of a novice at this so any help would be most welcome. You can view our website and where the slideshow should be here.

I am having an issue where the pictures are not loading. I have done everything listed in this thread. the site is ww2.lucidsolutionsgroup.com

I have almost the same issue. Everything goes well when I create a new gallery, everything goes well when uploading pictures,

Then it goes not that well : no problem to display thumbs, but no way to show the “mother pictures”. I found out why. The problem is linked to file permissions.

Lets say:
Gallery (folder)
GalleryTest (folder)
Pict1
Pict2
Thumbs (folder)
Pict1Thumb
Pict2Thumb

Gallery, GalleryTest and Thumbs have required file persmissions
Thumbs pictures have required file permissions
GalleryTest pictures don’t have the required permissions and cannot be readed to be displayed.

Therefore, why don’t the picture files get the required permissions ? How is this handled within WordPress ?

Someone can help me to understand the process ?

Thanks,

Gaston

Well that fixed part of it, the loading circle symbol, has gone away but the images in the gallery wlll not show and I checked permissions on everything and set them to 755
