[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] NGG Plugin: Options Admin – Show Thumbnail Descriptions Missing

Before the acquisition of nextgen by Photocrati Media, there was a set of selections in the Gallery Options tab that allowed for “none,” “Description text,” or “Alt / Title text” to be selected for “Show thumbnail description.” That no longer exists and my description texts are showing up on the thumbnail page of the gallery.

Was this an omission by oversight? The gallery thumbnail pages on an art association website I am working on look like crap with all of that info below the thumbnail. I had been using the Alt / Title text as the “caption” with only the artists’ names under the thumbnails and it looked nice and clean.

Should this be reported as a bug or a feature request to get this option back?

Thanks for your help.

It is still there, Daniel. If it is not showing up for you, it’s possible there is a conflict with another plugin. Please visit the support forum so the problem can be looked into: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/plugin/nextgen-gallery

Scott,
I turned off every plug-in on the website and still get no “Show thumbnail description” section in the Options>Gallery>S (NGG plugin admin) that allows me to choose “None,” “Description text,” “Alt / Title text.” I usually do my edits and admin stuff in Firefox and there has been a recent update, so I logged in using Safari but still nothing. Even on another site where I am running Next Gen Gallery version 1.4.3 those choices, and indeed the heading “Show Thumbnail Description” has disappeared. I am at a loss as to what to do next or where to report this.
Peace,
Dan
