 * Hi, there,
    I just installed NGG and NGG Voting last Friday, and I realize I’m
   still missing something. I was able to add the tag to the template file on my
   FTP site. I want to test the voting, and I’m not sure about the following: 1.
   Do I add images to an album or a gallery? I’ve already found the option to allow
   voting on a gallery. 2. How do I find the album on the web? Do I have to add 
   a tag for the album or gallery on a new page or??? Thanks, Karen

 * Update: I found the icon under Edit Page, top right corner of the kitchen sink,
   which says NextGEN Gallery – Attach to Post. I was able to add a gallery to a
   page, and it displays. I also added the code
    <?php echo nggv_imageVoteForm($
   image->pid); ?> to the template on the backend on the FTP site.
 * I made sure NOT to select a specific gallery template to display the images. 
   However, the voting under each photo does not display. With any suggestions, 
   I would be so thankful! I really want to get image voting going on this website.
 * Here is the code, with the suggested code added at the bottom:
 * <div class=”ngg-gallery-thumbnail”>
    get_image_url($image, ‘full’, TRUE))?>” 
   title=”<?php echo esc_attr($image->description)?>” data-src=”<?php echo esc_attr(
   $storage->get_image_url($image)); ?>” data-thumbnail=”<?php echo esc_attr($storage-
   >get_image_url($image, ‘thumb’)); ?>” data-image-id=”<?php echo esc_attr($image-
   >{$image->id_field}); ?>” data-title=”<?php echo esc_attr($image->alttext); ?
   >” data-description=”<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($image->description)); ?
   >” <?php echo $effect_code ?>> <img title=”<?php echo esc_attr($image->alttext)?
   >” alt=”<?php echo esc_attr($image->alttext)?>” src=”<?php echo esc_attr($storage-
   >get_image_url($image, $thumbnail_size_name, TRUE))?>” width=”<?php echo esc_attr(
   $thumb_size[‘width’])?>” height=”<?php echo esc_attr($thumb_size[‘height’])?>”
   style=”max-width:none;” />  </div> <?php $this->end_element(); ?> </div> <?php
   echo nggv_imageVoteForm($image->pid); ?> <?php $this->end_element(); ?>
 * What am I doing wrong?

 * Be sure you have added the voting tag to the correct template. Have a look at
   [this page](http://shauno.co.za/nextgen-gallery-v2-display-template-locations/)
   to help find that template.
 * The, make sure you have actually enabled voting on the images you want, from 
   the NGG ‘Manage gallery’ screen.
 * Also be sure to clear the NGG cache

 * Shauno, did I put the code in the correct location within the code, as shown 
   above? I’m thinking I might want to add this code to every single template to
   make sure it’s there, as long as I’m putting it in the right place.

 * Also, how does one clear the NGG cache? It sure would be great if that was all
   it took!

 * Under the NGG menu->Other Options->Miscellaneous, there is a ‘Clear image cache’
   button

 * This post was helpful. I had to make sure I had the right file. it helped to 
   have the code shown above. I placed the “vote” code as shown and the voting started
   working. in order to change settings like the Stars to the Like/Unlike I had 
   to use the ‘Clear image cache’ as described by shauno.

 * Just to be sure:
 * > Then, make sure you have actually enabled voting on the images you want, from
   > the NGG ‘Manage gallery’ screen.
 * As for NGG 2.0.5.9 there is no such place on that screen – so where can I enable
   voting except by altering the “default” setting under NGG Voting > Settings ?
   
   Something I’ve overlooked? Thanks, (Running NGG Voting 2.7.2 + …Premium 1.6 +
   WP 3.8.1)

 * Hi kjetilgf
 * The latest version of NGG removed a hook I was using to show the options, so 
   they have disappeared.
    I was away the last few weeks, but I will have a fix 
   out in the next few days for this.
