The plugin check says I can upload images of 4000 x 3000. The ones I’m trying to upload are 600 x 400 and low res.

My site is a fan site and I’ve used Nextcellent to up hundreds of images. Its never had a problem uploading images of between 100 – 500 mb before (occasionally some much larger) and the images themselves seem to be upping just fine. It is the thumbnail that won’t generate. Thumbnail generation results in the php memory error each time and when I try and manually create a thumbnail nothing comes up…

Sadly that didn’t work either. Every time I try and generate a thumbnail I get the following error log :
PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 262144 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 6000 bytes) in …wordpress/wp-content/plugins/nextcellent-gallery-nextgen-legacy/lib/gd.thumbnail.inc.php on line 179

I have 128 mb of php memory (I tried increasing by amending the php ini file to 256 and then 500 – plug in didn’t work either time) and in the gd thumbnail file I changed that figure to 256.

I also tried amending the htaccess file to include a larger memory limit – no dice.

No image I’ve been uploading is bigger than 150 mb.
It just won’t generate a thumbnail.

Thanks Zinifexer but I’ve tried that and sadly doesn’t make any difference. And now the plugin won’t generate thumbnails at all.

I can’t manually edit them and If I click on the gallery and tell it to generate them it fails. Help!

Thanks! In the end I switched to Nextcellent and implemented the changes they highlighted on their support forum which fixed the issue.

I had to pay a developer to help with this as no response on here but if anyone else suffers the same problem it was a conflict with the Events plugin. Now that has been removed NextGen 1.9.13 works fine.

Thanks for this step by step guide. I updated to 2.0 and it just killed my gallery dead. The album thumbnails were showing but when I clicked on them I got a 404.

The thought of re-uploading 4000+ images was making me feel violently ill but re-installing the previous version has sorted it with only some minor things that needed to be sorted. I won’t be upgrading until you’re a few versions on with a stable release. I nearly had a heart attack.

After 3 days and a lot of googling we discovered the issue was a conflict with the WP Cache plug in.

Once that was deleted I could upload to the galleries again although for some reason it destroyed all the formatting in the galleries so we had to re-configure over 3000 thumbnails for it to look good again! So if you have that plug in installed perhaps consider deleting it?

My images load on the back end. I can see them in the gallery in admin and I can see them on the site when I’m logged into WordPress but as soon as I log out or look at the site on a different device the images aren’t there. They’re not displaying on the front end. I’ve had two developer friends look at it and neither can see anything obviously wrong and the images are definitely on the server.

Any help please?
