[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Watermark Feature No Longer Working

It seems that no one is responding to this issue. Is it really that difficult to fix? It’s probably just one line of code.

Hi :),

there are two things you should bare in mind:

1. make sure your watermark image is in .png format
2. the path to the watermark image should be absolute, not relative

To get the absolute path to your file, follow these steps:

1. Copy the below code into Notepad or similar program and save it as a .php file (e.g. abspath.php)

   <?php
    $path = getcwd();
    echo "Your Absolute Path is: ";
    echo $path;
    ?>

2. Upload your .php file to the same folder where your watermark image is and open it using your web browser ( e.g. https://www.mysite.com/myfolder/abspath.php)
3. It should print out the absolute path to the folder where your watermark image is. It will probably look something like this: /home/servername/public_html/mysite/myfolder/
4. Now just add your watermark image file name at the end (it should now look something like /home/servername/public_html/mysite/myfolder/mywatermark.png).
5. Copy and paste your absolute path to Gallery Watermark Options, enable the watermark via Manage Gallery and you’re done :).
