[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Articles disappear / not showen

I have the same problem!!
I update to the last version of theNextGEN Gallery and puff… my blog not loads any more and in my admin cant access to “edit pages”… i get a blank page.

Any ideas?

Nothing found yet, I (we) would be really glad if anyone could help us with this problem. I don’t wanna stop using this really fine gallery!

If anyone has the same problem or even a solution, please, post here =)

Thank you!

Cheesey!

Hi!

I am also interested in solving this bug – maybe the producer of the nextgen-gallery would have a look on it?

So it seems we 3 are the only ones who have this problem ??

On our website we have the problem occuring randomly. Sometimes it does work, sometimes it doesn’t. We have not yet been able to backtrack the cause of this malfunction. (Does the developer ever look into the threads of his plugin?)

That’s even more odd. As I wrote on our blog it seems to connect with the numbers of pictures we add in an entry, but this also depends on something we couldn’t figure out. Sometimes you need less pictures to let it happen, sometimes more… :/

(IDK, from my point of view it doesn’t seem so ?? )

Okay, the problem still persists, I have absolutely no idea how to fix it. The whole article is not showen, but I have found out something new.

Today I tried to update an existing article, this one:

I added 3 more soundfiles (the melodies) and a new chapter (“Traue deinen Ohren”), everything is fine. Now here is the twist: When I try to add a directory looking like this, the article looks like this one:

Also if I add this line, this info or this headline:

<h4>Any Title</h4>
<strong>Update 12.02.2010:</strong> <em>Melodien der Bossinfizierten hinzugefügt, Kapitel "Traue deinen Ohren" hinzugefügt</em>

Anyone any ideas? Why could these things intereffer with each other?

Okay, I seem to come closer to the source of the problem, but I still don’t know how to avoid it.

The “Next Gen Gallery” seems to have a problem with a certain amount of HTML-Tags in the article.

I wrote a “Lorem Ipsum” article with many headlines, bold and underlined text, some listings and colored hyperlinks. Without any picture from the “NG-Gallery”, the article is shown without any problems.

Then I placed a picture with the NGG in the article and everything disappears. The article is not shown anymore, you just can see the search-tags plus title like here.

Without any HTML-Tags, just plain text, the article still disappears when I have used enough characters.

Can anybode use this information to help me? I have no idea how the amount of text or HTML-tags can interfere…

I’ve seen this issue on a page that did not have any gallery content. It was just a very long page, with lots of markup. From my empirical testing I just fault WordPress as the cause and I assume the bug is that it would not display the page if it has more characters (or similar) than a certain threshold.

If I removed content from the page, no matter what particular content or from what part of the page, the page would display again.

I don’t think this is a NextGEN problem but I also did not investigate further on Google to see how pervasive the issue is with ‘regular’ page content.

Thanks for your message. It seems to force this behavior some kind. I just checked our weblog again, and the SecLookOn-Article is now working again, I really don’t know why. All of a sudden, it’s working again.

But you are right, to test it, I made an article with about 27k words and some HTML-Formatting. The formatting is some kind of a trigger, because without the problems mentioned before disappeared. In some articles I just removed a bold word and the article worked again.

BUT, for testing purposes we deactivated the NextGEN-Gallery for a short amount of time, and the articles with these problems worked again, that’s the reason, why we thought it was the gallery. The strange thing is/was: the articles worked, then suddenly, they disappeared and now they are working again. I really don’t know why that is but if it’s working again, I’m happy ^^
