[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Problem with placing thumbnails on a page

I noticed there is an update for NextGen to version 1.1.0, which I have already installed now (including an update for the database), but it did not resolve my issue.

I’m having the same problem,updated plugin, using WP 2.7 and Flexx Theme. Thumbnail images are not displaying in a grid format.

My example: this photo page

Any help would be appreciated.

I can confirm this bug. It appears to be a problem with where the first thumbnail in a row is placed. If you have thumbnails that are of varying heights, it places the first thumbnail of the row directly under the thumbnail from the row above with the smallest height and adds on from there. Very frustrating.

Would definitely like to see a fix for this.

I have found an solution for the problem, you can find it in a few other posts in this forum. Everybody gives the problem another name, so it is hard to find out you are having the same problem.

This was the trick: put an entry for “height” in the stylesheet. First you have to find out which stylesheet you are using. I am using the ngg_dkret3.css. Then find .ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box. I am using 120 pixels height. But how much you actually need, you have to try, because this will be different for most sites.

/* ----------- Gallery style -------------*/

.ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box {
	float: left;
        height: 120px;
}

But what if nextgen is updated the next time? If there is no solution in the next update, backup your stylesheet before update or upgrade.

Hello all,

placing height helps when you have only thumbnails on the page.

On this page I am using thumbnails with description. If I use height then it will not properely work for me. I have an idea to place class “clear:left” to every 4th thumbnail but I do not know how shoud I pass it through foreach loop when thumbnails are generated.

Dos any of you have an idea how to fix this?

Thank you ??

Hello Huska,

You could increase the value for the height, maybe 300px. And only use an maximum amount of characters in the description. But in my opinion it is all a workaround. I still hope for a fix in the next update from NextGen.

Thank you fvrsmln for reply.

This is possible but not ideal. I will have a huge gap between rows of images and it will look ugly ??

Maybe ti is possible to do using different HTML code or another CSS somehow??

Works good enough I guess for now. Still a bit of a problem if you have a row of thumbs that are all less then the Max height value, because the spacing between the following row will appear larger than the rest. Better than it was, but not perfect. Thanks for posting your find. This forum is the hardest thing to find anything on. ??
