have found out custom field values are being saved but with the wrong user ID. check usermeta table and you can hand fix.

i wanted passwords on nextgen too and finally broke down and did it today. turned out it wasn’t hard. i just used similar code to what wordpress has for protecting posts/pages (thanks Giancarlo for the inspiration!) and put it in a gallery template. could be put in an album template instead, but all it does is if a password is required (and right now i’m using the gallery description field as the password, so if that field isn’t empty), instead of displaying the gallery it displays the password form just like post/page password protection does. if the password is given it goes in the cookie so is sticky, and the gallery displays. piece of cake.

going to suggest something ‘dumb’ but i think something like this has bitten me before.

try renaming home.php to something else, like myfrontpage.php.
i think wordpress treats a file named home.php specially, and this might be causing your problems.

had this issue – do you have

<?php wp_head(); ?>

in your theme header?

fyi, just inserted one manually using phpMyAdmin. works great. now if the UI could do it too… ??
maybe still a permissions issue, will try to login to phpMyAdmin with wp’s mysql account…

same problem here, ad says it saved and isn’t there.
wp user has all privileges to db so don’t understand why it doesn’t work. i’ve not had any problems with any other plug-ins, some with their own tables like nextgen-gallery.
help?!
thanks!

this seems to fix it!

p tags inserted are driving me nuts as i want to enter html for my page posts.

ebola – not sure how an mce plugin will help because i thought it was wordpress putting in the tags – can you explain further? thanks

you must upload the images first to wordpress, THEN insert gallery, and it will show thumbnails of all the images you uploaded.

thewebdude – THANK YOU! the conditional worked perfectly in a template i am working on. much appreciated.

really appreciate this info but i can’t display info about comments in this custom loop, because comments_popup_link apparently only works in ‘the’ loop.

drumz, not quite following. the blog by default DOES go on the front/home page. you can have a ‘static’ or other custom home page by creating a page and then setting that as the home page in the ‘reading’ settings section. or you can modify the template (index.php typically for home, or page.php for other pages, or create your own) for the home or other page to do what you want.

had the same problem with Otto’s Executable PHP Widget. it was definitely that widget and no Otto it was NOT my code. ??

EDIT: HAHAHA it *WAS* a problem with my code – i thought it wasn’t because it all worked in another environment, but i’d forgotten to upload some other files, but the below is a good ‘last resort’ if you’re stuck and i was!

only way i could fix it was go (through phpMyAdmin) into wp_options table and delete the row with option_name = “widget_execphp” (prob. near the end of the table for most folks). then i could re-add the widget to various sidebars and set things up again.

fwiw, i put all code i want to use in php widgets in a separate file and call the functions from the widgets rather than embed code there. certainly made getting past this bug a lot easier!

don’t know if this will help, but looking in nggfunctions.php, you can display a gallery directly like this:

(in my case i wanted all images matching a tag)

$gallery = nggShowGalleryTags($_GET['s']);
if (!empty($gallery)) {
	print '<div class="main" style="width: 600px;">'.$gallery.'</div>';
}

quick question on selling photos through eshop. what if you have hundreds or thousands of photos, does each one have to be added as a product separately!? or can i use a gallery plug-in like nextgen and somehow send the image id from the gallery to the shopping cart and have just one “photo” product?

any help would be really appreciated!!!!
