# Permalink slug issue.

 * Dear support,
 * I have an issue when setting Permalink slug to the value “gallery”.
 * If I set Permalink slug to “gallery” on this link:
    [http://bkdp.alocus.com/home-renovation-image-gallery-toronto/](http://bkdp.alocus.com/home-renovation-image-gallery-toronto/)
 * All the sub alum would have a link:
    [http://bkdp.alocus.com/home-renovation-image-gallery-toronto/gallery/-toronto/urban-retreat](http://bkdp.alocus.com/home-renovation-image-gallery-toronto/gallery/-toronto/urban-retreat)
 * Note the part /~toronto is being inserted after gallery.
 * If I don’t set Permalink slug, then it will default to nggallery and yield sub-
   album link to
    [http://bkdp.alocus.com/home-renovation-image-gallery-toronto/nggallery/urban-retreat](http://bkdp.alocus.com/home-renovation-image-gallery-toronto/nggallery/urban-retreat)
 * If I set Permalink slug to ‘testing’, then it also works as expected.
    [http://bkdp.alocus.com/home-renovation-image-gallery-toronto/testing/urban-retreat](http://bkdp.alocus.com/home-renovation-image-gallery-toronto/testing/urban-retreat)
 * This is a site where I clone to upgrade an existing site which also uses Permalink
   slug “gallery”. [http://bkdp.ca/home-renovation-image-gallery-toronto/gallery/urban-retreat](http://bkdp.ca/home-renovation-image-gallery-toronto/gallery/urban-retreat)
 * Please help as I believe the URL
    home-renovation-image-gallery-toronto/ may 
   have caused next gen to generate an incorrect album sub links, unfortunately,
   I can’t change this URL path as there are backlinks to these galleries.
 * Thank in advance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   try our external Reset Tool plugin here: [https://bitbucket.org/photocrati/nextgen-gallery-reset/get/default.zip](https://bitbucket.org/photocrati/nextgen-gallery-reset/get/default.zip)

 * Dear Cais,
 * I did reset as instructed. But it doesn’t help with this situation. Anything 
   else I can try?
 * This incorrect URL path actually leads to another issue
 * Generated incorrect path with extra “/-toronto”
    [http://bkdp.alocus.com/home-renovation-image-gallery-toronto/gallery/-toronto/urban-retreat](http://bkdp.alocus.com/home-renovation-image-gallery-toronto/gallery/-toronto/urban-retreat)
 * But the actual path to the album is actual without “/-toronto” as the above link
   yield no image found. And the actual album is here
    [http://bkdp.alocus.com/home-renovation-image-gallery-toronto/gallery/urban-retreat](http://bkdp.alocus.com/home-renovation-image-gallery-toronto/gallery/urban-retreat)

 * [@michaelcfdunn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelcfdunn/) – Something
   appears to be affecting the path being generated by NextGEN Gallery, have you
   tried re-inserting the display now that you have run the reset option?

 * Not sure what is re-insearting the display, please kindly elaborate.
 * But I did create this code on my page after reset.
 * [ngg_images source=”albums” container_ids=”6″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_extended_album”
   gallery_display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails” galleries_per_page
   =”100″ enable_breadcrumbs=”1″ enable_descriptions=”0″ override_thumbnail_settings
   =”1″ thumbnail_width=”254″ thumbnail_height=”254″ thumbnail_crop=”1″ order_by
   =”sortorder” order_direction=”ASC” returns=”included” maximum_entity_count=”500″]

 * [@michaelcfdunn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelcfdunn/) – The generated
   shortcode you shared looks fine as far as I can tell (re-inserting a display 
   would be basically removing that shortcode then re-starting the process with 
   the Insert Gallery Window interface).
 * Please send us a Bug Report ([https://imagely.com/report-bug/](https://imagely.com/report-bug/)…
   please reference this topic) so we can get a better look under the page at your
   site.
 * Please include as many details as you can about your site and the issue at hand
   so we can move on this as fast as possible.
 * Thanks!
