No I was mistaken. When the codes was only in the css other options section, it didn’t even work. I might have been fooled by browser cache. The tweaks seem to need to be in the nextgen_basic_slideshow.css file as per your other post.

Oops. I was wrong. The code change must be in the original nextgen_basic_slideshow.css file as per your post. I don’t think the file saved back properly when I unrem’d itslide, and i got fooled thinking I could put the CSS changes elsewhere.

I still would love to know what is going on, and why I need to do this.

I still would like to know how to center justify the slideshow. It is left justified when I make the CSS edit.

And I still would like to know how to randomize the slideshow.

The code from your post actually worked for me too. Thank-you!! Initially, I rem’d out the lines in the nextgen_basic_slideshow.css file as per your post. Then I tried copying that whole rem’d out section into Gallery > Other Options > Styles > Show Customization Options

I added the following and saved it:

.ngg-slideshow img {
/* max-width: 100% !important;
max-height: 100%;
width: auto;
height: auto;

/*
border: none;
}

I then restored nextgen_basic_slideshow.css to its original form.

It seems like all browsers I’ve tried are now working well. This includes webkit engines like Safari on an iPad and Chrome.

One thing I did notice is that my slideshow is now left justified instead of centered. Any idea how to tweak that? While I can live with left justification, would love the option to do centered.

Changing the subject a bit, what I would really like to see is the option to play the sides in random order. To my knowledge, this only existed with the flash version of the slideshow. The flash version is no longer the preference. If we can’t randomize the slide order, I would at least love to randomize the first slide and then loop sequentially from that point. I have a home page on a site that has a slidehshow with lots of pictures in the gallery. People only see the same few pictures all the time because the show always starts with the same slide.

Seems okay in IE and Firefox, but bad in Chrome.

I’ve temporarily worked around the problem by rolling back to Nextgen 1.9.13.

Here’s how I did that. I disabled the Nextgen plugin in WordPress. Then I Ftp’d in to my site folders, and drilled into /wp-content/plugins, and I renamed the Nextgen-gallery folder to Nextgen-gallery-2-0-11. I then downloaded the older build of Nextgen from the developer’s web site. I unzipped it, and then I used FTP to upload the unzipped nextgen-gallery folder it into my /wp-content/plugins folder. Then I went back into my WordPress backend and two different versions of Nextgen were available to activate. I activated the older one. When a new edition comes along, I can deactivate the older one, activate the newer one and then try to upgrade that. If it works, great. If not, I can deactivate that build and quickly move back to the known good build. (at least that’s the theory unless database changes in the future prevent going back so easily <g>)

I just upgraded to WP 3.0 and found WATS broke things for any posts marked Private. They no longer show up in the Recent Posts list, and when I try to view the private posts from the Admin backend, I get an error 404.

I updated my site to WP 3.0 and I found that WATS was breaking all general posts marked Private. They wouldn’t show up in the Recent Posts list and if I tried to view them from the Admin backend, I got an error 404.

Thanks for the help. I discovered through trial and error that it was the WATS support ticketing system plugin that was killing it. I have that deactivated for now, and I will report this to the developer.

By the way, your comment was about ressting the plugins folder was cut off. If possible, could you repost that?

I would love to see this feature too.

In my case, I needed an additional PHP component added to my Linux server. Once I did this and restarted, everything started to work!!

PHP-CURL.

On Ubuntu Server to install:

sudo apt-get install php5-curl

Hope this helps someone, because I spent a lot of time looking for this solution.
