What plug ins do you guys recommend for uploading an image to Next Event, I have tried the default gallery and although I can see the image in back end when ever I try to add it to my Next Event It attaches a blank thumbnail.
So I tried Next Gen, Although I can upload an image and get it too show in the Next Event widget it loads in a lightbox effect which pops up when I hover my mouse over it and click it.
Si I tried LG Gallery, Again I can’t get the image to show in Next Event, only the image title is visible
How To Show Featured Thumbnails in The Next Events Widget
Does this tutorial help at all here?
Hi Barry, it’s not what I had in mind.
What I was looking for was this.

[img]http://imgf.tw/440734537.PNG[/img]I’m quite happy with the way images are positioned etc by default, but don’t want them to pop up like lightbox once clicked on.
Hi Duncan.
I’m not entirely sure what is causing the lightbox style effect but suspect it is something other than our plugin. Perhaps something in your theme or another plugin is causing that effect?
Hi Barry, ok I’ve not finished with this yet, I’ve tried deactivating all of the plug in’s etc to no avail. I doubt it’s the theme as it worked up till I had this problem https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/image-no-longer-visible-in-next-event/
I seem to remember adding a Events folder to my theme to fix a problem of some sort, could this have anything to do with it?
Failing that I’m going to install WordPress into a directory and try everything from scratch again.
Hi Barry, here’s the linky, just about everything is disabled.
If you want access to back end let me know. 🙂
OK, so it looks to me like the lightbox effect relates to Shutter Reloaded.
Shutter Reloaded itself looks like that is bundled with Nextgen Gallery plugin (the URL for that script being http://www.flat-out.eu/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/shutter/shutter-reloaded.js) – so it’s strange that this didn’t go away when you deactivated all of your plugins.
I do feel confident however in saying this is nothing to do with our plugin(s) and I’d encourage you to follow our complete troubleshooting steps: if deactivating all of your other plugins (including Next Gen) didn’t do the trick then you should also switch to a default, unmodified theme as part of the process – or else try to replicate it in a staging/testing environment (if you can’t do this on the live site) as you already suggested.
Hope that helps 🙂
Hi Barry, even if I deactivate Nextgen and upload an image with something different like Lazyiest Gallery, I still have problems displaying the image
Duncan:
I have no experience of Laziest Gallery and am really only offering guesswork here (and my guess is, based on the “lg” CSS class that has been applied to the post thumb, that this probably does relate to Laziest Gallery) but please take a look at the generated markup:
I have no idea if that is human error or a problem with Laziest Gallery or indeed some other plugin (note how the class attribute on the link element has not been closed properly) … regardless, that is almost certainly the reason the image isn’t loading and, once again, this is nothing to do with our plugins 🙂
Going back to the start of this thread, it looks like you were basically aware of these issues with Nextgen/Laziest. Have you tried approaching the authors or vendors of those plugins to ask how their various side-effects might be restricted?
What I mean is, have you been able to reach out to them and ask if they could be tweaked to avoid these issues?
