@nathanaelculver: all files used by imagerotator
I meant all the photos are accessible. What w= h= parameters are being used for the display, could it be something with that?
Can you use Firebug or ViewSource to see the code used at that point and see if that helps?
I’m a newbie signed up for PHP programming in the Fall so sorry cannot share anymore knowledge.
I find it frustrating that the forum is not more helpful and that people don’t post resolutions to problems. Good luck.

Have you increased the memory in gd.thumbnail.inc.php?
How about checking permissions on the server, all files used by imagerotator should be 755 ( I think)?

Have you tried deactivating the plugins, getting the most recent version of Flash.
Then activating just NG Gallery and SW Rotator to see if some other plugin is interfering with your set-up. Also just use Nextgen with vanilla settings.
What browser are you using? Sometimes things don’t work in IE but do in Firefox etc.

I solved my problem.
The default header size was 990×257 set in the functions.php for the Pilcrow theme. I changed this to 990×150 (had to replace functions.php in the pilcrow theme since WP now picks this up for the Theme/Header default size(I think) rather than having a functions.php in my pilcrow-child theme.)
Set up my own custom header, then on individual pages I use SET FEATURED HEADER and use pictures with the 990×150 size and hey presto, it works.

I did not mess with any thumbnail stuff since I was trying to manipulate headers.

I really wish people would submit solutions to this forum when they get things to work!

I’m having the same problem. I’m using I’m using Firefox 3.6.18, WordPress 3.2.1, Theme Pilcrow. My theme has the line of code
add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ ).
Further down in the function code it has the comment:
/* We’ll be using post thumbnails for custom header images on posts and pages.
// We want them to be 940 pixels wide by 198 pixels tall.
// Larger images will be auto-cropped to fit, smaller ones will be ignored. See header.php. */

My featured image is the correct size so why does it not display on the page?
Any help would be much appreciated.

I got the slideshow to display by checking enable flash slideshow. I need to play with the other settings to get rid of black space but it works!
@langsider I like your site, good content.

I’m having the same problem. When I try and use the slideshow, it just shows a spinning circle and never actually loads. I’m using Firefox 3.6.18, WordPress 3.2.1, Theme Pilcrow, Nextgen 1.8.2, JW Rotator.

I thought my images sizes might be too big but tried with just two smaller images and still have a problem.

Do I need a special version of Adobe Flash?

I found a resolution at https://www.visser.com.au/blog/thumbnail-generation-php-memory-limit-nextgen-gallery/

My memory was so low I could not even see the full error message.
I increased memory limit to 1024M and can create and see my thumbnails just fine.

BTW I did a google search on my problem and found the solution after scanning www.ads-software.com for ages.

Also found a good tutorial at https://dpotter.net/technical/2008/03/nextgen-gallery-review-image-management/

I did create them manually but still cannot view them. I checked and there are no thumbs in the folder.
These photos are big over 3000 by over 2000. What is the ideal usable size for photos using NextGen?
Do you know of any good documentation that explains the best settings for maximum ease of use.
Any help is much appreciated as I’m wasting a lot of time fiddling around.
Thanks
