I’m watching for answer too.

How often are you going to be adding, deleting and changing the gallery? If you’re making lots of changes, I use https://www.wpg2.org/ but if a more static application is what you need then look at https://jalbum.net//. Jalbum writes the html code for you which you can then paste into a post or a page.

Edited to add second thought: Perhaps NexGEN might be an easier plugin to manage than wpg2.

Just copy (or rename) the default theme to something like my_default. Make all the changes (to my_default) you like and they’ll still be there 10 updates from now.

These updates are necessary and for YOUR (and my) own good!

I don’t mean to sound hard, but “Suck up and deal with it!”

OK! Thanks! I’ve been “lost in the loop” several times since beginning this project.

I disabled js in the browser and that produced no visible errors. (just as docs indicated)

I installed ff browser extension Live http headers and by reading the actual headers I see that the password is being tranmitted via md hash.

Seems to be a *great* plugin. Does just what it says it will do. Just very, very quietly.

Thank You!!

Unless I have a great need to see inside a site, I WON’T click past a splash page. I’m using a satellite connection and I just don’t want to “pay” the b/w costs.

Gallery2 using the wpg2 plugin is wonderful!! In both ff and ie6, ie7.

Did you try reading the directions here

They are not identical, but very similar. Certainly they have the same “look and feel”.

Looks to me that theme designer is trying to do something I wouldn’t want done on my site. I second Root’s recommendation. Ditch it!!

Other than total page size? It is huge. The largest file is a js script that loads first. Here is what websiteoptimization.com says about it:

Analysis and Recommendations

* TOTAL_HTML – Congratulations, the total number of HTML files on this page (including the main HTML file) is 1 which most browsers can multithread. Minimizing HTTP requests is key for web site optimization.
* TOTAL_OBJECTS – Warning! The total number of objects on this page is 22 – consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine, refine, and optimize your external objects. Replace graphic rollovers with CSS rollovers to speed display and minimize HTTP requests.
* TOTAL_IMAGES – Warning! The total number of images on this page is 12 , consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine, refine, and optimize your graphics. Replace graphic rollovers with CSS rollovers to speed display and minimize HTTP requests.
* TOTAL_CSS – Caution. The total number of external CSS files on this page is 3 , consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine, refine, and optimize your external CSS files. Ideally you should have one (or even embed CSS for high-traffic pages) on your pages.
* TOTAL_SIZE – Warning! The total size of this page is 158940 bytes, which will load in 36.08 seconds on a 56Kbps modem. Consider reducing total page size to less than 30K to achieve sub eight second response times on 56K connections. Pages over 100K exceed most attention thresholds at 56Kbps, even with feedback. Consider contacting us about our optimization services.
* TOTAL_SCRIPT – Caution. The total number of external script files on this page is 6 , consider reducing this to one or two. Combine, refine, and optimize your external script files. Ideally you should have one (or even embed scripts for high-traffic pages) on your pages.
* HTML_SIZE – Congratulations, the total size of this HTML file is 9962 bytes, which less than 20K. Assuming that you specify the HEIGHT and WIDTH of your images, this size allows your page to display content in well under 8 seconds, the average time users are willing to wait for a page to display without feedback.
* IMAGES_SIZE – Warning! The total size of your images is 82788 bytes, which is over 30K. Consider optimizing your images for size, combining them, and replacing graphic rollovers with CSS.
* SCRIPT_SIZE – Warning! The total size of external your scripts is 54543 bytes, which is over 8K. Consider optimizing your scripts for size, combining them, and using compression where appropriate for any scripts placed in the HEAD of your documents.
* CSS_SIZE – Warning! The total size of your external CSS is 11647 bytes, which is over 8K. Consider optimizing your CSS for size by eliminating whitespace, using shorthand notation, and combining multiple CSS files where appropriate.
* MULTIM_SIZE – Congratulations, the total size of all your external multimedia files is 0 bytes, which is less than 4K.

Umm, I don’t see where a mu fix would apply to our free standing installations. I don’t have a cache running (that I know of; shared hosting environment and all..). But I do have GZIP enabled from the Options–>>Reading menu.

Yeah, but we all started somewhere and we’re all ignorant in some area..

You pointed the poster in the right direction. The system is designed for self-education.
