[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Slideshow just has a spinning wheel, never loads

  • Same here, slideshow only show loading icon (spinning wheel). Changing the options has no effect.

    Same here. Can someone please help us to setup the Slideshow?

    Make sure your WP is up to date.

    What theme are you using? I’d suggest testing the default theme (twenty eleven) if you haven’t already.

    Main reason is because this plugin uses jquery (which is great) and not flash however it could be an issue with the js files…I installed this plugin and tested on my theme (swagger by themeblvd) and it’s operating fine for me.

    Hmm, so many posts “Slideshow just has a spinning wheel, never loads” so few “[RESOLVED]

    I am having the exact same issue. Running the latest version of the plugin and WP.

    I can make mine work by adding the flash rotator file, but that forces people to use FLASH, which is on its way out.

    Wish this plugin was more reliable ;-(

    It is probably a conflict with your other plugins, specifically one that uses javascript. Disable all plugins to see if that is the problem. If so, then enable them in groups or one at a time until you get it working again.

    Look first at social sharing plugins.

    Yes, exactly. Thanks for explaining it better than I! hahaha!!

    Thanks, sorry should have posted that I tried that.

    What’s frustrating is that I have another WordPress install in the same directory that works great.

    Any other ideas would be appreciated.

    And I’m assuming that you have tried uninstalling and reinstalling?

    I just dealt with similar issue when I wrote a javascript in my header.php file of my theme. Once I wrote it my slider wouldn’t load, it just the loading wheel ajax the entire time. (my slider is part of my theme, not a plugin). Once I MOVED my custom wrote <script> files around between my <head> tags, everything started working again. So, in short, it’s related to javascript (especially since the “flash” version works, right?!?)

    I’ll find my code and paste in a minute.

    Ok, here you go:

    This is the code that CAUSED my issue:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
<head>
	<meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>" />
	<?php if( themeblvd_get_option( 'responsive_css' ) != 'false' ) : ?>
	<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, maximum-scale=1" />
	<?php endif; ?>
	<title><?php themeblvd_title(); ?></title>
	<link rel="profile" href="https://gmpg.org/xfn/11" />
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<?php bloginfo( 'stylesheet_url' ); ?>" />
	<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?>" />
	<!--[if lt IE 9]>
	<script src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/framework/frontend/assets/js/html5.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
	<![endif]-->
	<?php if ( is_singular() && get_option( 'thread_comments' ) ) wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' ); ?>
	<?php wp_head(); ?>
    **** This is the script code that I moved to the TOP of the above code, inserted JUST below <head> tag above, instead of here, at the end. <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ddimgtooltip.css" />

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://recordyouradventures.com/test/wp-admin/js/ddimgtooltipslocalcustom.js">

</script> **********
</head>

    So I hope this helps…thinking that it’s just a simple script issue like mine was!

    adventureseeker! Im kind of a newb at this and Im experiencing the stalled loader issue as well. Can you tell me exactly which page you targeted to fix your issue.

    Welcome winterstorm!

    I must say that I did NOT have an issue with this plugin, so I’m not sure which file you need to look at. My above post is just to show that my issue, which was very close to yours, was caused by javascript miscommunication.

    Have you tried testing on another theme? Then disabling all plugins except this one to see if it works?

    If disabling all plugins makes it work, start enabling plugins one at a time to see which one causes it to stop working…there is your problem once you find that.

    Tried testing on the 2011 theme and broken there, too. The plugin that fought it was an add-on NextGEN gallery optimizer. Deactivating that showed expected behavior.

    Now if I can get some other problems resolved. Moving onto other support Q’s.

    adventureseeker! Thanks. I misread one of your posts. I have tried deactivating and activating plugins but no luck with that. I haven`t tried with a different theme yet. I can say that everything was working fine until I did the upgrade on the NextGen plugin.

    sam452 just posted that an add-on gallery optimizer by NextGen…

    From the changelog for this plugin:

    V1.9.6 – 07.21.2012

    Changed: Implemented workaround for bug found in WordPress SEO, resulting in no images being added to sitemap
    Bugfix: Fixed an issue with users not being able to dismiss the “Photocrati Acquisition Notice”
    Bugfix: Adjusted Javascript for activating social media pages to load on NextGEN Gallery pages only.
    Bugfix: Fixed compatibility issue with Simple Facebook Connect
    Bugfix: Using correct Facebook Page ID in Like button

    The problem is with script, that we know. Does you theme have social media things built in? MY theme DOES and that was my issue….

    >>And I’m assuming that you have tried uninstalling and reinstalling?

    Yes, I even copied a gallery from a working slideshow to this WP site. Thanks for your code will review and report back my findings.
