I left a review and thank you once again

It worked perfectly! Thank you so much for your help. It’s very much appreciated

Yes I have. Is there any code that might work to make all three widgets narrower? Nothing I’ve found so far works. Do they have to add up to 100%?

Well I’ve done everything I can to speed up the loading. It’s much better, but every time I use CCleaner, open Firefox and load my site, the third widget footer drops below the other two (because it’s loading a bit slower than when I have a cache, presumably). I’ve tried replacing the third widget with something smaller (like Search), but it’s still happening. I’ve also tried all sorts of code to size the widgets with percentages, but they don’t seem to work at all. I’ve put the code within the theme’s CSS and also in Appearance, Edit CSS – nothing changes. (I turned off the new caching plugin before I started) ??

OK and thank you. I have optimized the images, but I clearly need to go back to the drawing board to cut down loading time. Maybe that will solve my original problem ??

Thank you for checking. Because our internet is so very bad, I can’t tell if it’s my site or our connection at the time. Is there something I can do to speed it up? I don’t want to compromise image quality though…

Thank you both once again. Shareaholic is working on my site. I won’t say the posts are related, but then the title doesn’t claim that anyway. I’m happy enough having images, which look much better considering this is a web site about photography. I know Jetpack did work properly with Nextgen a short time ago, but I guess we’ll never find out what went wrong ??

Thank you very much for the advice. I’m busy today, but I will definitely give this a go later ??

Not much help ??

I was fiddling around this afternoon and managed to get Shareaholic to display images, although I didn’t like the social media icons and couldn’t get rid of them. I deleted the plugin. Surely this goes against the other reply though? If Nextgen works with one plugin, then surely this confirms there is a problem?

Thank you so much to a wonderful team for sorting this out.

I must say that I wondered about that. I started with the basic Nextgen gallery and I’m sure related posts worked. Then about three weeks ago I upgraded to Nextgen Plus. It’s possible I vaguely noticed the problem, but I was making so many changes with gallery styles and light boxes that perhaps it didn’t sink in.

I’ll follow your other link now and report the problem ??

I wish I did have that to resolve the problem, but I’m afraid I don’t. Would it help if I listed the plug-ins I am using?

I’m afraid I’m not having much luck. The Duplicator doesn’t want to work because my site is too big. I got a “Notice”, carried on anyway, but the builder failed. I’m not sure about doing the database only and moving the rest by hand. I thought about BackupBuddy, but that seems to want me to remove my WordPress installation before I can export, so that’s out as well.

Can you tell me what will happen if I switch to a default WP theme temporarily? I got rid of 2015 and 2016, but kept 2017 in case of problems. I’m using Photocrati and it’s taken ages to get everything just right. I do have the .crati file saved locally, plus I have the settings saved as a Photocrati custom theme. If I can find that again and get everything back, then I’m willing to give it a go.

Sorry – cross posted. What is a staging version please? If it’s a copy that you can use to test, then I would rather go down that route. I’ve spent ages perfecting my new site and even though I use BackupBuddy every couple of days, I really don’t want to mess with anything now. Thinking about it, can you make use of my latest back up to test somewhere? I should have enough space to set it up in a test folder. The whole site is a tad under 700Mb ??

Is this a good time to mention that virtually all my images come from NextGen galleries? I initially uploaded 711 to the WP media library because I recognised it (having moved from WordPress.com). Then I opted for a theme that uses NextGen, so they were copied over. I had 698 that were unassigned in the library. I also used a plug in to confirm they were all unused. I did ask for advice on this in the forum, but didn’t get a reply. I deleted all the unassigned images a few days ago, but everything on my site works perfectly apart from these related thumbnails. To be honest, I think I noticed the problem before deleting. It’s just that I was too busy with everything else to deal with it at the time ??

It is turned on. Always has been. Just checked and it’s still there. Turned it off and then on again, but the images are still missing…
