NextGen Thumbnails not forming columns

    I posted this in the wrong forum…they asked me to post it here.
    I have had my NextGEN gallery up for a few years. A little while back my thumbnail gallery began displaying with 3 images in one row and wrapping 1 in the next. I’ve searched through the forums and found some possible solutions, but none have worked. I’m aiming for 4 per row. I’ve set 0 for the number of columns. I’ve reduced my thumbnails to 210×210 with the max width at 228 – with 20 per page. I’ve tried resizing them to a much smaller size, but that didn’t work, either. (When it worked previously, the thumbnails were actually a bit larger). The page width is 960, so there should be plenty of room. I deactivated my plugins and it changed nothing. Short of going back to NG 2.0.40, I’m getting desperate. I’m using the responsive theme in full-width.
    I’m hoping it’s some little tweak that I missed. Hoping someone can help me. Thanks, in advance.

    @rokawalsh – Thanks for the link to your site, I can see that the content width available for the display appears to be 918px … this is the target value you will have to work in to get the four columns you want.

    You are following the correct idea of setting the number of columns to 0 (zero); and re-sizing the thumbnails, it may just be a case of further trial and error to get the sizes you want. Also to note, it is best to use the default 0 columns setting as that will help with smaller viewports the site is seen through.

    You might try the following custom CSS to reduce the margins around the images by 1px:

    .ngg-gallery-thumbnail { margin: 4px !important; }

    That can be added under Gallery > Other Options > Styles … your other option is to work on reducing the the thumbnail images in general which will require more steps to insure the new thumbnail sizes are being used.

    Thanks!

    Seriously! It was THAT easy. Thank you! I used the CSS you gave me and voila!
    I can’t thank you enough. I’ve been struggling with this for weeks.
    Best to you!

    @rokawalsh – Thanks for the update, and happy to help. I’m as guilty as the next person trying to over-think an issue and I did start looking at image sizes first when I was reviewing your site … then it dawned on me, “what about the margin and padding around the images”?!

    Thanks, again!!

    – Cais.
