I discovered that it only works when placing my custom template directly into the directory twentythirteen.

Arrisje, downgrading did the trick. Thank you very much.

I now understand why it did not work. The problem with the new version of Nextgen is that you now select your template from a dropdownlist in Display Galleries/Customize the display settings/Template.
And there’s no option ‘gallery-customlinks.php’. And you cannot manually add the shortcode template=customlinks to the page where you inserted the gallery (so the code looked like this [nggallery id=x template=customlinks] ). Without this, you’ll never get the tutorial working.

I also added some extra code in de gallery-custom.php to open a new window when clicking on a thumbnail. My code (stap 7 in the tutorial) now looks like this:

<div id="ngg-image-<?php echo $image->pid ?>" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box" <?php echo $image->style ?> >
		<div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail" >
			<a target=\"_blank\" href="<?php echo $image->ngg_custom_fields["Link nieuw venster"]; ?>" title="<?php echo $image->description ?>" <?php echo $image->thumbcode ?> ><img title="<?php echo $image->alttext ?>" alt="<?php echo $image->alttext ?>" src="<?php echo $image->thumbnailURL ?>" border="0" <?php echo $image->size ?> /></a>
		</div>
	</div>

So I added to the link the code target=”\_blank\”

Arrisje,

Before the update I followed the same tutorial you mentioned. But where to put the gallery-customlinks.php? In wp-content/ngg_styles? Or in wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/ngglegacy/view?

Whatever I do, this workaround does not function anymore. This is the page I’m talking about: https://www.dorinechrist.nl/?page_id=35
Before the update these thumbnails linked to a new window with a youtubevideo or another url.

I’m sorry. I see it’s a build in function. Just go to the NextGEN Gallery. Select Display Galleries and then Customize the display settings. Select from the dropdownmenu ‘Template’ the NextGEN: gallery-caption.php

Yes! That did the trick. Thanks.

Mmmm… I cheered to quick. Look here. When I put only one word in the first column then no problem. I’m confused now. Sorry.

!!!! And it worked. So, problem solved. It’s weird, because another site I made was the same version of WordPress, and no problems there. Sometimes I get a little puzzled.

But, many thanks Konstantin. It’s a realy simple and userfriendly plugin.

Hello Konstantin,

Here’s the code. Exactly copied from your plugin.

[column-group]
[column]This is my first column[/column]
[column]This is my second column[/column]
[/column-group]

I’ve the same problem. My page only contains two columns. But I can’t get it working. Can it be something in my stylesheet?
It does not seem to be conflicting plugins (Nextgen-custom fields; Nextgen-gallery; Social Media Widget; WordPress SEO; Search and replace)
I used the shortcode before and no problems there. Any idea?
