Ok, for the record, I found the solution.
use_wp_excerpt='true'
should be:
use_wp_excerpt='false'
Easy of course because we got it from WP plus from the plugin. Now only from the plugin.

jedweb, sorry but lack of time made me leaving this as it is for the time being …
Doesn’t seem to be simple indeed.
Hope to solve this later …

Thanks. Good to know.
It doesn’t say so on the plugin page though.
Maybe updating data there, thus avoiding confusion.

I found the solution that works for me. Don’t ask me why it is different from yours ??

In gallery-caption.php on line 47 I changed only:
<span><?php echo $image->caption ?></span>
into:
<span><?php echo $image->alttext ?></span>

Maybe this has to do with the way we display it differently? I don’t know, but finally I get the alttext (which is the filename) as the caption underneath the thumbnail.
Thanks a lot anyway for pointing into the right direction.

Thank you Rob.
I implemented that solution from Karl, but to no avail.
My “description field” stays empty in the gallery. And so nothing appears underneath the thumbnail.
I do have it in the first field (Alt). It should appear in both fields, right?
I must have made some stupid mistake I guess.

On the other hand I was hoping for a built-in solution with the new NextGen Gallery 2.0 that just came out, but nope AFAIK.

Any idea?

Wondering if you found a solution for this, robcub.
I need also the file name appearing as the image title.
With mass uploads it’s not doable to do this manually every time.
Thanks for any light on this.

Funny, the mighty Google who can find anything on the world wide universe, can’t find my sitemap by itself, while it’s a standard filename?
Ok, we’ll serve them the food in the mouth. ??

Just for the record, putting up the rest of the road I went.

While the move seamed to work out right, I screwed up by using a script for changing links in the database. Had to use backup to start again ??
So I decided to go for the WP installation in root to keep it simple.
So far so good. Used Velvet-blues-plugin to change links in posts for pics. Ok.

Then I used the category base /blog. But that appeared to put /blog instead of /category but it is not putting individual posts in /blog like: example.com/blog/individualpost. Which means that old urls to individual posts are changed.
So I’ll have to try to fix that with some htaccess code, catching those mistakes and leading them to the right location.

Thanks esmi.
I understand the subdirectory install.
Then when I make new pages they automatically appear in the root and by putting “blog” in the category base permalinks, all posts appear in /blog? Is that right?

I think it is still not clear what I meant.
? The old site in the root will be deleted completely.
? The one and only site in the subdirectory stays there in /blog with installation and only the posts, while only the “pages” should appear in the root.

So is it possible to get only the posts in /blog and to get the pages in the root?

Ok, good idea doing that with permalinks, but …
The WP installation is already in the /blog directory, so I guess I need to leave the posts as they are and put some code for the “pages” to go up to the root?

Thanks for your reply jibbius, but maybe my post was not clear.

It is not about moving, but about splitting the existing site, where only the existing “pages” should now appear in the root and the existing “posts” + WP stay in place in the subdirectory.

I moved a lot of WP sites in the past btw.

Thanks.

Hi Mikey,

Thanks for the update, but unfortunately this doesn’t seem to solve the problem. ??
Still same result after updating WPB2D. No backup file.

Ok folks, thanks for all your replies ??
We managed to solve this, so for the record …
I asked the hosting provider to make some php adjustments.
They whitelisted some mod security rules for the domain and:
PHP Max Upload Size : 2M => set to 25M
PHP Max Post Size : 8M => set to 25M

Never mind, I coded it in the template instead.
