I have now put CSS containers into each page to set the height and width as a work around.

I’ve now realised that I have exactly the same problem on another site using the same theme Atahualpa (also using the latest version 3.7.12). This was with the very latest nextgen version 2.0.17. I’m simply putting the slideshow into a page. I’ve now modified the code on the page to put the slideshow into a separator div container and this appears to be a temporary solution.

<div style=”width:800px; height:300px; margin:0 auto;”>
[ngg_images gallery_ids=”18″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_slideshow” gallery_width=”800″ gallery_height=”300″]
</div>

On an another site (www.rudeles.com) I have using Atahualpa Nextgen is working correctly because I haven’t updated to WP3.6 yet and so I left NextGen at version 2.0.0. However reading more about the issues NextGen has been having recently, this implies that the first version of the big update didn’t have this problem. Rudeles.com is very similar in build to epicure-wines.com mentioned in my original post in particular both use WPML.

Finally I have a similar problem with another site using another theme, Chameleon by Elegant Themes.

Having the same problem, I can only see the top 100px of a 490 high slideshow in Safari and Chrome. Works fine in FF and IE. Website is https://www.epicure-wines.com/

I’ve made the image, settings on the page and settings in the gallery slideshow all the correct width and height. Also tried putting slideshow into a table with the correct width and height. Nothing makes any difference. Also tried a new gallery with new images, no difference.

I’ve temporarily changed the slideshow to a single picture so it doesn’t look so bad, but I’d like a solution.

I’m also having this problem on two self hosted blogs. It started suddenly five days ago. These blogs have worked fine for many years.
Anyone else found a resolution.

I noticed a new version of Nextgen has come out today so I updated.

First time I tried to load an image, it worked fine, next time it didn’t.

After several attempts, it seems like if you select the image and then the gallery and immediately hit submit, it works. If you let it think about things after selecting the image and gallery, it decides it likes neither and the boxes are blanked.

So something still isn’t right, but if I hit Submit quickly I can at least upload images.

I’ve just returned to this problem to try and resolve it, to no avail.

Still using the same them and plugins as before, except that I’ve no added in Launchpad, everything up to date.

With everything activated, I no longer get a 404 error, I simply constantly get told “Unable to write to directory /xxxxxxxx. Is this directory writable by the server?” All the folders in wp-content have 755 permissions, so I can’t see why there should be a problem. I get the same if Flash is enabled or disable.

I switched to the 2012 theme, with all plugins enabled, same problem, Flash or no Flash.

I deactivated every plugin except NextGen and Launchpad, same problem.

I’ve tried resetting NextGen, and it made no difference.

I’ve tried uploading Nextgen images to another website hosted by my same reseller account and this works fine. So I don’t think that this is a general server problem. Besides, NextGen has been working fine on this website for about 18 months.

No idea what to do next, but at the moment I can’t load any images.

Help.

I’m having exactly the same problem, I upload a logo and background, but when I save they are both unchecked.

Sterling, did you find a solution?

I’m having a similar problem, I’ve just written it up here under another support thread
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/page-not-found-error-18?replies=4#post-4244728

I’m having a similar problem. Everything else is working fine, but I can’t upload any images through Nextgen. When I go to Upload images, I can select the file, but when I select the gallery before I click Upload, it immediately gives me a 404, the page doesn’t exist. The url it is displaying seems similar to those given above as:
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=nggallery-add-gallery&skipjs[0]=https://www.xxx.com/wp-content/plugins/flickr-set-slideshows/flickr-set-slideshows.js?ver=3.5.1

I’m running the latest version of everything WP 3.5.1, theme= Atahualpa 3.7.12, NextGen is 1.9.12. Key other plugins being run are WPML, Simple PayPal shopping cart, Flickr Set Slideshow and ManageWP. Deactivating all the plugins made no difference. Changing to 2012 theme also made no difference. I’ve not actually tried uploading for a couple of months, so I’ve no idea at what point/which update caused this.

The permissions on the folders are all OK to upload.

I couldn’t find many similar reports when I first searched, but I’ve just searched for “admin.php?page=nggallery-add-gallery&skipjs[0]”
and fund several more people having this problem over the last three months.

Thanks, I’ve managed to work out how to do this now simply exporting as a CSV. I don’t know what has altered, but it seems to work now.

I’m also looking for this!

Sure, I’ve had a look around excel and phpmyadmin forums and found little of any help. I can post there, but I thought there might well be WP people who knew what to do.

I’ve managed export csv files previously but the tables although large, weren’t from WP and I’ve managed to clean them up reasonably easily. WP adds a lot of other stuff that makes this hard.

I wondered if there might be a WP plugin that helped do this or some other solution. I can’t be the only person who has ever wanted to output the contents of a blog like this.

Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll ask WP Paypal Shopping Cart if they are going to sort this out.

Hello,
I’m having the same problem with the WP Paypal Shopping Cart widget.

I’ve also tried using the simple Text widget, and set it to display one of the three languages only (using WPML plugin for languages). This saved and appears to be displaying on the right pages. As I saved, I did get an error
Warning: Illegal offset type in isset or empty in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 211

I then rest the widget to static, then set up with the posts set to No, the same error occurred, but changes appear to have been saved.

I would also really like to know how to make it pinpoint he exact longitude and latitude without the auto correct, this kind of defeats the objective.

Otherwise a great plugin!

Thanks Sophie
