resize with command line convert tool and *_backup image

@willy70 – You can turn off the image backups under Gallery > Other Options > Image Options. This option is very useful for reverting re-sizing and/or watermarking operations done through the NextGEN Gallery interfaces.

Although not tested, re-sizing your images via the “command line” should work although you may need to re-scan the folders … please let us know how that works out for you.

As to the blank page for Other Options, that should be addressed first as it generally points to a conflict with another active plugin and/or the current theme which could impact other operations going forward as well. Have you tried deactivating all of your plugins, clearing your browser cache (and site caches if you are using a caching plugin), then reactivating the NextGEN plugin?

If this fixes the problem then it was likely one of the deactivated plugins that was causing an issue. Now, retrace your steps activating each plugin and re-checking to see if the problem returns. If it does then that last activated plugin was probably the one. Keep reactivating and in most cases it is also best to keep checking after each plugin, sometimes there may be more than one plugin on a site that will create an issue. If you do find one (or more) plugins causing this problem we would greatly appreciate your feedback on them so the developers may address them as soon as they can.

Also to note, in rare cases it may be the theme itself that is causing a conflict so while you have just the NextGEN plugin activated you might consider temporarily switching to one of the default WordPress Twenty series themes and see if this corrects the issue as well.

If the problem still persists after all of this we would still want to know, even more so, as we will still want to sort out the issue and may need additional details.

Thanks!

Hi Cais,

“Although not tested, re-sizing your images via the “command line” should work although you may need to re-scan the folders … please let us know how that works out for you.”

yes it works fine, I used this command:

for fl in $file
do
convert $fl -resize 800×600 -quality 85 $fl
done

wihout scanner any folder.

“….If you do find one (or more) plugins causing this problem we would greatly appreciate your feedback on them so the developers may address them as soon as they can.”

I can make this operations because I’ve got some critical plugings that I can’t deactivate.

I use wordpress 4.4.3 and Twenty Eleven 2.2 and NextGen 2.1.62 but for the backup image I
make well known command “find /….backup -exec rm” after that I added it into crontab
and thisissue is resolved.

Now I realized about another little problem.

I have a page with this code:

[ngg_images source=”albums” container_ids=”42,43,44,50,51,55,59,64,65,66,68,69,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,121,122,123,124,130,131” ID=”6684″ gallery_display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails” galleries_per_page=”0″ enable_breadcrumbs=”0″ enable_descriptions=”0″ override_thumbnail_settings=”0″ thumbnail_width=”120″ thumbnail_height=”90″ thumbnail_crop=”0″ order_by=”sortorder” order_direction=”ASC” returns=”included” maximum_entity_count=“1000″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_compact_album”]

up to id 130 were created with an old versione of NextGen Gallery after that I used the
last 2.1.62.
This code shows a page with some albums but the last one, ID=131 , didn’t appear , and if I
try to add aonther album I’ve got the same behaviour.
Any idea ?

Thanks a lot !
Best Regards
Willy

@willy70 – Thanks for the updates.

As to the album display, at least some of the shortcode you are sharing was truncated in the post although I suspect it was just a continuation of the included galleries for the display. I would suggest removing the ID=”6684″ parameter from the shortcode and seeing if that sorts out the issue.

Thanks, again!
