Thank you Steve! I plucked up the courage and changed that htaccess file 73 to a 74 and it seems to have fixed the issue, thanks!

Hi – thank you for replying to me.

“Could you please try disable HTML minify , purge all” – I did this but the problem still existed.

I then exported my current settings and reset the plugin to its default settings and that does appear to have fixed the problem ?? I haven’t fully tested the site but everything does now seem to be working OK.

Thank you!

I disagree – I’ve tried several free plugins and none of them are as easy to use or as fast as this one. Think of it less as a plugin and more as a web backup service independent of your own server. When I signed up it was pretty clear to me that it would cost money.

Thanks Scott. I actually prefer it the other way around. I don’t want the black one, I only want the floating one. I changed the settings to Lightbox Effects – No Lightbox but this just leaves me with the black one that I don’t want.

How would I disable the black one and keep the other one?

Sorry I’ve figured out my mistake. The maximum dimensions in the gallery settings were greater than those of the images I uploaded. Therefore the slideshow left the extra space even though it wasn’t necessary to do so.

Still doesn’t help me much though as both the SEO and NGG plugins are very important to me.

So I’ve finally had the time to take a better look at this and it seems that there is a conflict between the WordPress SEO plugin and Next Gen.

I deactivated all the plugins and the Lightbox worked perfectly. I then reactivated them all one at a time and the only one that caused this ‘double overlay’ was WordPress SEO. It causes the issue both when it is the only plugin activated and when it is also activated with the others I use.

Thanks very much – it worked perfectly! I appreciate your time ??

As a test I disabled all of the plugins but the problem I was having still occurred. Currently, if I try and update a page on my blog I get a 500 connection reset error.

If the problem was the quantity of plugins I have would I still get an error even when they are disabled? Is it necessary to actually delete them completely?

I applied the fix you detailed above this morning and the problem seems to have gone!

Thanks very much for your help – without you I would have had absolutely no idea where to start. I really appreciate your time!

Ok, brilliant, thanks. I’ll give that a bash.

As for the index.php file that is missing, shall I go ahead and add that too as per the instructions on the same page (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Pointing_your_home_site.27s_URL_to_a_subdirectory)

Yes, I have no problem accessing all the files via FTP.

OK, thanks. So, do you think I should wait a bit to see if someone else can help too?

I’m starting to lose track a little bit of what I should and shouldn’t do!

With regards to the missing index.php page should I do this?

“Copy (NOT MOVE!) the index.php and .htaccess files from the WordPress directory into the root directory of your site (Blog address). The .htaccess file is invisible, so you may have to set your FTP client to show hidden files. If you are not using pretty permalinks, then you may not have a .htaccess file. If you are running WordPress on a Windows (IIS) server and are using pretty permalinks, you’ll have a web.config rather than a .htaccess file in your WordPress directory. As stated above, copy (don’t move) the index.php file to your root directory, but MOVE (DON’T COPY) the web.config file to your root directory.
Open your root directory’s index.php file in a text editor
Change the following and save the file. Change the line that says:
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
to the following, using your directory name for the WordPress core files:
require(‘./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’); “

My wordpress is installed in a separate directory -silverphotography/wordpress

Thanks very much for getting back to me with this.

I haven’t personally added anything to my .htaccess file but the writer of my theme (Photocrati) did have access to my server to try and solve another issue – maybe he did? Anyway, here is the contents fo the htaccess file:

AuthType Basic
AuthName “Restricted Area”
AuthUserFile “/home/silvffjw/.htpasswds/public_html/passwd”

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^silverphotography\.co\.uk$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.silverphotography\.co\.uk$
RewriteRule ^/?$ “http\:\/\/silverphotography\.co\.uk\/wordpress” [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^silverphotography\.co\.uk$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.silverphotography\.co\.uk$
RewriteRule ^enquiry\.htm$ “http\:\/\/www\.silverphotography\.co\.uk\/wordpress\/enquiry\/” [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^silverphotography\.co\.uk$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.silverphotography\.co\.uk$
RewriteRule ^enquiry2013\.htm$ “http\:\/\/www\.silverphotography\.co\.uk\/wordpress\/enquiry\-2013\/” [R=301,L]

This really doesn’t mean much to me I’m afraid! Maybe you can see something wrong?

As for the memory issue, I’ll take a look at that.
