As it stands, I ended up changing plugins. Now using CataBlog.

Any changes/adjustments to the ‘new’ plugin on the settings page? With this new plugin and accepting the default configuration, I tried and am still not getting the lightbox effect.

Yep. That’s where I have it…

Tested with another theme and same thing.

Same thing………after reinstall plugin, I checked settings, then created new gallery, added images and inserted onto page. Click on image, it opens in individual page.

Yep, the code is in the header.php file. I’ll ftp in and remove the plugin and try to reinstall…

Won’t let me delete the plugin, after deactivating plugin and deleting galleries…this sucks.

In fact, I guess that’s what I’ll do, as whatever effect I choose, I get the same result: image opens in new/separate page.

I could uninstall/reinstall NextGen, but would hate to do that…would lose galleries…

Okay, I downloaded/installed/activated the jQuery Lightbox plugin. Still not working. I’m getting the same results: I open the page where the gallery is, I inserted the gallery as image list, I click on an image and the image loads in a new page. In Gallery > Options > Effects, I have:

JavaScript Thumbnail effect: Lightbox
Link Code Line: rel=”lightbox[%GALLERY_NAME%]”

On the page it shows the gallery properly: [nggallery id=2]

I still have all plugins disabled except NextGen and the new jQuery plugin. The jQuery plugin I have is as described above…

Used to overlay images on the current page. Original jQuery Lightbox by Balupton. Version 0.22 | By Pedro Lamas | Visit plugin site

Bummer….

mod_rewrite is enabled.
PHP Safe Mode is off.

Nsathees, I didn’t make this real clear….

Looking at how WP handles roles, there are two different roles I could use for guests writing on my blog: authors or contributors. I would like to use authors, but don’t want to allow them to publish without me viewing it, so I would use contributors. That leaves me with the question i was trying to ask: I want to be able to show a contributors bio at teh end of each post, but don’t know how. Is this possible? I know it is with the Author role, but not sure about the Contributor role.

Thanks Patrick and alchymyth!

You can change the actual name of the blog in the settings panel of your wordpress account… aside from that you are going to need to access the CSS to change the font/color. If you wanted to rest the title on the horizontal line it is going to require some development on your theme… the current layout is not set up to do that.
goodluck

Patrick, In changing the theme (PrimePress), could this be in the header.php file? It looks like with PrimePress, there is a ‘layout’ section…

alchymyth, you’re all of the place! Thanks for the replies!

My blog name is Christopher Hall Photography (https://www.hall-photography.com/blog/) and I want to change the typeface, color and at some point, drop it down to ‘rest’ on the horizontal line below it.

What I’m reading in your reply is that I can change these things in style.css or I can use html and replace the two instances of title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>. Yes?

Where in the style sheet do I change the style for the blog title? .homelink? .page-title?
