[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Thumbnail generation not working (Error : Exceed Memory limit. Require…)

  • Hi there,

    I get following message:
    img.png (Error : Exceed Memory limit. Require : 80.13 MByte)
    File will beuploaded but no thumbnail is being generated.
    Code line adaptions like suggested by several bloggers didn’t work.
    (from: https://www.visser.com.au/blog/thumbnail-generation-php-memory-limit-nextgen-gallery/
    ADAPTION: 1. Open an FTP connection to your root WordPress directory
    2. Open /wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/lib/gd.thumbnail.inc.php with your favourite text editor (e.g. UltraEdit, etc.)
    3. On line #168 un-comment (remove the //) from before @ini_set(‘memory_limit’, ‘128M’);
    4. Save and upload changes
    5. Delete image/s that failed to generate a thumbnail and re-upload using NextGEN Gallery’s standard Upload Images feature
    )

    After these modifications I get:
    Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 74186752) (tried to allocate 17044 bytes) in /www/htdocs/user/v3.1/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/lib/gd.thumbnail.inc.php on line 179

    Even adding “php_value memory_limit 256M” to my .htaccess doesn’t work. Could anyone help me, please?

  • Try to re-upload the image in a smaller resolution. I know that I used to get the same/similar error and once I started uploading images with a smaller resolution it seemed to work fine.
    Maybe you need a higher resolution, which is fine. What I have found is that if i upload the images in a low resolution, let nextgen create the thumbs and then overwrite the pics (using FTP) with the higher resolution pics (keeping the same name obviously) everything works as well. I only do that when i really want a highres pic; otherwise, i just upload my pics with a max width of 1024 (and let the height scale accordingly) which is plenty big for my needs.
