[Plugin nextGEN Gallery] Thumbnail problem

  • I face a very strange behaviour with some Thumbnails. I have 65 galleries (and will have 200 at the end) and since several last galleries I entered, I have a problem with panorama pictures. Photo are well stored in the gallery but the thumbnail creation abort. Only for panorama pics. I change the panorama size, the file name, etc, but thumbnail creations always abort for this particular pictures.
    When a thumbnail creation abort, the image adding window ends with the thumbnail creation but do not close.
    Any idea ?
    Thanks in advance.

    I performed the modification required for this plugin to extend the capacity a while ago for other gallery creation limitation problem.

  • I had the problem too and what I did was shrink the size of the image to a reasonable size. Try it just for the hell it of and make it like 1024px wide and see what happens. In may case the main problem was the size of the file. Good luck.

    This problem didn’t occured previously but seems to be effective now with some precise pictures I use for galleries such as cards and panorama, but mainly panoramas. But this is a random problem.
    I tried to change size of the pics but problem remained. And I do not want my panorama pics will have less than 1024 pixels width.
    Well, as the pics are well stored in the galleries, I create manually the problematic thumbnails cause I do not want to waste time or to adapt my picture size to a software problem and I upload them and that’s all !
    I think this is the lonely solution I found to solve a specific problem which occured only one time, during the thumbnails creation. I have my thumbnail however the size of the pic to display.
    Thanks for your response.
    My galleries are presented here (still under construction) : https://www.shabbat-goy.com

    i have the same problem:
    When a thumbnail creation abort, the image adding window ends with the thumbnail creation but do not close.
    I use NextGen at list 2 year, and i have several site, everivere works good, only on one site not.

    My problem solved:
    This issue can be resolved by increasing the memory usage allocation at a per-plugin level for PHP applications that require more grunt than others. It’s quick and easy!

    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

    Thank you for your answer, i made chenges, now this side of file look like this

    // increase memory-limit if possible, GD needs this for large images
    @ini_set(‘memory_limit’, ‘128M’);

    But this did not solve the problem. ??

    I made also this modification a while ago but the problem remains the same.
