thumbnail override

@jberg1 – If you are using the IGW (green button) on the visual tab of the editor you should be able to over-ride each gallery display’s thumbnail size with each instance you insert.

If you are using shortcode structures you will not have this option.

You may need to clear the image cache under Gallery > Other Options > Miscellaneous in some cases but I would not expect it to be necessary in this one.

Thanks for your response. I tried to clear the image cache and it didn’t help.

I am using the IGW to place the gallery, then selecting the override thumbnail option and choosing my new size. In the help message is says “This does not affect existing thumbnails; overriding the thumbnail settings will create an additional set of thumbnails.”

But it doesn’t seem to. When I update and view the page they are still at the default size. I also notice in the code it is still using the same image file name as the default, and when I look in the directory (wp-content/gallery/gallery-name/thumbs/) I don’t see any additional thumbnail files being created.

I tried to change themes to see if that was the issue. Still no joy. Ang Gallery folder permissions are set to 755.

Any other ideas that might help? Thanks again for your help.

@jberg1 – NextGEN Gallery only keeps the current gallery thumbnails in the /thumbs/ folder but adds the over-ridden images into the /dynamic/ folder of the gallery … are you seeing the /dynamic/ folder and newly created images there?

– Cais.

Oh Ok,
I do see the folder:
wp-content/gallery/gallery-name/dynamic
however there is only one file in there:
filename-nggid03115-ngg0dyn-200x200x90-00f0w010c010r110f110r010t03jpg.jpg
I tried to delete it and re-save the page and it created the same file again.

Also the page source still shows it pulling
wp-content/gallery/gallery-name/thumbs/thumbs_filename.jpg

Not seeing any server error logs. I’ll try to go through and disable plugins to see if there are any conflicts, and report back if I find anything.

Let me know if you have another thoughts. Thanks again for your help

Tried to disable plugins and it still didn’t work.
Does that additional thumbnail file name look correct? Should there be additional files in that dynamic folder? I assume one for each gallery pic.

Could it be any PHP configuration issues with the server?

Thanks again for all your help on this.

@jberg1 – Those structures look fine. There will normally be a thumbnail image for every gallery image (whatever that current gallery’s default is) and the dynamic folder should contain a number equal to all of the dynamically set thumbnail sizes of the images in the gallery.

We may need to get a closer look at what is happening on your site, would you be able to submit a Bug Report (https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/ … please reference this topic) with log in and FTP credentials for your WordPress installation so we can get that look?

Thanks!

I think I resolved the issue.
I was using the NextGen: gallary.php as the template. When I set the template to nothing, then they appear at my override size and create all the correct dynamic thumbnails images.

I’m using the gallery.php on another page, and had it set as default under settings.

Sorry for the tail chasing. Thanks again for all your help.
