 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to add a slideshow that pops up in a box or a lightbox and the user
   can scroll through the images, but I’m having problems.
 * Here are my steps:
    1. Added a new gallery with 2 images, has an id of 1. 2. 
   Went to my page where I want to insert the gallery, and from the top menu bar,
   I clicked to insert a nextgen gallery which put in this code: [slideshow id=1]
   3. When I preview my page….there is just a loading wheel that keeps spinning 
   with no images ever showing up?
 * Am I missing a step??
 * Thanks so much for your help!

 * We had a working slideshow in our homepage template using this code:
    `<?php 
   echo do_shortcode( '[slideshow id=2]' ); ?>`
 * After some changes occurred on the site (including a memory size limit error)
   the slideshow no longer appears, just a spinning wheel animation. Here’s a [link to our site](http://derekdeyoung.com).
 * Has anyone found a fix for this?
 * So far we tried:
    * Resetting the plugin options via the “Reset/Uninstall panel”*
   Deactivating and reactivating the plugin.
