 * I just installed Photo Gallery and created an album successfully. Unfortunately
   it won’t display thumbnails either in the post that contains the gallery or in
   the “Edit Gallery” interface.
 * The post is here: [https://medtechboston.medstro.com/ggc-photos/](https://medtechboston.medstro.com/ggc-photos/)
 * The photos themselves display fine when I click on the broken thumbnails. Is 
   this perhaps a permissions issue on the directory that holds the images?
 * Once this is working we will be buying the Pro version for the extra features,
   but I need to show my boss that the plugin actually works.

 * OK, I fixed this myself.
 * I was trying to save time by copying image files that were already in my uploads
   directory to the uploads/photo-gallery directory, and then selecting them from
   there when adding images to the gallery.
 * Apparently the plugin assumes the thumbnails are already created when you choose
   photos that are already in the photo-gallery directory, so it doesn’t try to 
   create them.
 * I deleted all the photos from my gallery then uploaded them from my PC to add
   them to the gallery and it created the thumbnails.
