NextGen Gallery Effect not Working?

You got the amazing nextGen Gallery (NGG) installed, but the image effect doesn’t work? These are the steps you should consider

  • Reinstall nextGen Gallery (this wont delete any of the files, but make sure you files are save in wp-content/gallery/ folder)

Uninstalling the plug-in will temporarily disable images displayed and effects. Once the plug-in is reinstalled correctly the images and effects will work perfect
Still no luck?
You need to view your site source code, If nextGen is installed properly you will find the following source code

<link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’NextGEN-css’ href=’http://thescube.com/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/css/nggallery.css?ver=1.0.0′ type=’text/css’ media=’screen’ /> <link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’shutter-css’ href=’http://thescube.com/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/shutter/shutter-reloaded.css?ver=1.3.0′ type=’text/css’ media=’screen’ /> <script type=’text/javascript’> /* <![CDATA[ */ var shutterSettings = { msgLoading: "L O A D I N G", msgClose: "Click to Close", imageCount: "1" }; /* ]]> */ </script> <script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://YourSite.com/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/shutter/shutter-reloaded.js?ver=1.3.0′></script> <script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://YourSite.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.3.2′></script> <script type=’text/javascript’> /* <![CDATA[ */ var ngg_ajax = { path: "http://YourSite.com/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/", loading: "loading" }; /* ]]> */ </script> <script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://YourSite.com/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/js/ngg.js?ver=2.8.1′></script>

If you don’t find this, please feel free to add this to your header
Replace YourSite with your site url and if necessary please add additional dir (eg yourstename.com/blog/wp-content)

Any luck?

    Sadly not. Although these two lines were not included in the site. Added them but still no joy. /* */

    Its very frustrating. Im sure I have done something stupidly simple but I cant figure it out and its not creating thumbnails either. Very weird as it works well on most of my other sites. Although this one is a theme hack for a friend to try and get it to match up with her old site, and php isnt my strong point. Ah well. Good post!
