[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Templates not found in child theme

  • I added my own templates for NGG into my theme and they weren’t showing. I tried all sorts and then realised that this theme was a child theme. I changed it to a standard theme and the templates appeared.

    It seems that NGG can’t see your customised template directory if you put it in a child theme’s directory.

  • Hi Andy,

    I have a related question:
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/330372?replies=2

    If you are using customized templates for different sections of a site (using a different header than the blog and no sidebar) it seems that NextGen Gallery only functions when it’s using a template that has the standard header.php include. When I try to use a template with a custom header and use the TEMPLATEPATH include, the NGG stops working. Any idea how to make NGG work on a page with a custom header?

    If the plugin is including templates, it’s most likely using the TEMPLATEPATH constant. Instead, it should be using the locate_template() function to check for the template within both the parent and child theme.

    Actually, in all my troubleshooting, I forgot that the customized header is being used with the blog template. The main issue is that pages displaying NGG only work when using the same template as the Design Lab (Blog) section. My problem is that I don’t want to use the same banner and get rid of the sidebar altogether BUT I may try Conditional Tags to accomplish this
    Thanks!

    Trying to load a customized template in nggallery/gallery-resort.php as well and I am using a child theme as well. But NGG also does not seem to run [gallery=1 template=carousel images=5] either. It just shows one image from the gallery and the featured image?!! The carousel should be loaded from the plugin theme folder..

    Fixed it as well. used the wrong shortcode.
