Go to Gallery, Album and then select the album you wish.
Click the button that says Edit Album (at the top, after the Update button)
You can change the Album name, description, page and choose a preview image. Pick whatever image you want!

Hope that helps.

Hi Robin,

I can assure you and your developer that the plugin works perfectly.
The discussion you see on the plugin page stems from the lack of documentation on how to implement the Search. Alex (the developer) is usually the first to admit his lack of skill in the documentation department.
The installation consists of 2 parts. 1. install the plugin. 2.add the lines of code to your theme “search.php” file or use the search.php file he provides and make sure to change the NGG lines of code to say your theme name rather than “twenty-ten”
I am happy to provide precise step-by-step instructions to anyone who needs it.

You can see it in action here:
https://mywptestingsite.dreamhosters.com/

This is a generic WP test site used for testing code and plugins and styling, so don’t expect beauty. However, try out the search with the words “beach” or “bird” or “canyon” or “flower” or whatever.

A production site that uses it is SF Windsports

Again, try the words “Aldo” or “girl” or “sky” or whatever.

Just to put your developer at ease, I’m not only a photographer, but have been designing and developing for almost two decades, have taught Advanced Technology and Media and so on. I understand the caution, but assure you both this is an easy one.

Regards,

Lee

I am not clear what the problem is. If I size my screen to 800×600, your photos resize perfectly. If I size my screen to full size, your photos are also resized perfectly.
What you cannot do, however is open a photo in the lightbox and then resize your screen smaller. If you do that, the photo will stay large. All lightboxes do that. The page needs to give the size to the box, so the photos must be closed first to get that instruction.

It is really fine and doing what it is supposed to do.

You have both Shutter and PrettyPhoto active.
Under Gallery, Options, Effects choose the one you want to use.
Then go to your Plugins list and deactivate the other one.

I’ve been guilty of that and had two lightbox windows pop up as well.
Simple solution, though!

There is a NextGEN plugin for rating or voting called NextGEN Gallery Voting. You might try that.

You need to modify or create your own template to do so.
Look in your wp-content / plugins / nextgen-gallery / view /
directory for examples of templates and then create your own using those as a model.

The plugin you are looking for is NextGEN Search Engine 0.7.0 available on Alex’s site at http: // alexrabe . de / 2010 / 01 / 13 / search-for-images /

You or your developer should read the documentation though. The install consists of two parts. Install the plugin. Then make sure to install the Search.php file into your theme file or modify your theme Search.php to add the NextGEN search lines.

Works perfectly with keywords, titles, descriptions.

It has been available for a long time.
Simply use this code in your post or page:

[imagebrowser id=X template=exif]

Where X is the number of your gallery.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the response. I appreciate you following up.
I look forward to a new version without these kinks, since your premise is solid.
