[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Thumbnails don't appear on gallery page

  • I’m new to NextGen (and to photo galleries in general). I installed the plug-in, created a new gallery, and uploaded four photos, each previously resized to 640 width. On the page that has the [nggallery id=1] tag (currently, and only temporarily, https://rime.aos.wisc.edu/gpetty2/personal/hobbies/photography)
    I get empty boxes with the filenames instead of thumbnails.

    I’m using WP 3.1.2, Firefox 4.0.1, under Mac OS X 10.6.6.

    Per the FAQ, I deleted ‘max-width: 100%;’ from what I took to be the logical place (see below), but no change:

    #content img.size-auto,
#content img.size-large,
#content img.size-full,
#content img.size-medium,
#content img.size-thumbnail,
.attachment img {
        max-width: 100%;
	width: auto;
	height: auto;
}

    If the problem doesn’t seem easily debuggable, can anyone recommend another plug-in? I’m not well-versed in PHP, CSS, etc. — I’m looking for a basic gallery plug-in that works out of the box with my setup. Thanks!

    Additional information and corrections:

    1) I remembered that even though I’m accessing/editing the WP site from my Mac, the site is actually hosted on a Linux system.

    2) I discovered that the thumbnail image files aren’t being created at all — the my-photos directory contains the uploaded images, but the thumbnails subdirectory is empty.

    I don’t know how the thumbnails are created, so I don’t know whether the plug-in is assuming that a particular external utility is available on the Linux machine. ImageMagick is present, but I’m not sure whether it’s relevant.

    Solved: In options, I switched from GD to ImageMagick and changed the path from /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin

    Thumbnails are now generated.

    Hello,
    I encounter the same problem but could not solve it by changing the path.
    Here’s a link to the album page that works pretty well but certain galleries do not show up.
    Thanks for any suggestions.
