[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] NextGen Gallery – displays as single vertical column

    I am developing an artist site and would like to use NextGen throughout the site. I’m having a very frustrating issue with the gallery not rendering correctly in the custom theme I’ve created. Here is a link to a test page showing the gallery behavior (please note that some elements haven’t been tightened up yet):

    https://intranet.justintoon.com/?page_id=4

    No matter what changes I make to the gallery stylesheet, it always appears the same way; additionally, clicking a thumbnail shows the image on a blank page instead of the lightbox effect.

    Another issue: I’d like to use the Slideshow Widget in my sidebar. However, it gives an error about missing the Flash Player.

    Here’s the kicker: if I switch from my custom theme to one of the stock themes, the gallery renders correctly and the slideshow widget functions as normal! I’ve tried everything I can think of but I’m completely stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated; I’m willing to post any coding as requested.

    By the way, here is a link to the main stylesheet for further reference:

    I’m having similar trouble using Nextgen Gallery with the “Linquist” theme:

    https://redworks.sk/wp-themes/linquist/

    Except that the single column of thumnails is a giant 500×375 (stretched low res 100×75) column of blurry looking images.

    The images display properly though when i click one of the giant thumnails. (not on a blank white page)

    No idea where to start.

    Got an email from the designer of this theme.

    Here is a place to start:

    Open dark.css in the editor or stylesheet.css if you are using the light version. Find:

    .left img {
    width: 500px;
    width: expression(this.width > 500 ? 500: true);
    height: auto;
    }

    .left img effects how the style is applied to Nextgen Gallery thumnail images. So adjust this until it looks right. I just made the width: auto; and deleted the next width statement.

    On your theme have you tried adjusting the margin for img and content in your css?

    I have exactly the same problem. I also cannot get slideshow to work so any help would be appreciated. The gallery is posted here;
    https://efitdance.com/?page_id=57
    for testing it has both insert codes in the page one for the gallery and one for the slideshow…….note also that the view with piclens link does not work…….Steve

    Adjusting the img margins (I removed all of them) did change the spacing of the thumbnails, but they still appear as a single column, and the Flash lightbox effect is still non-functional.

    Solved — forgot to include wp_head() and wp_footer(). Hope this helps someone else.
