Title: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Patch for single thumbnail support Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Patch for single thumbnail support * 756291 * [17 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-patch-for-single-thumbnail-support/) * I’ve implemented a patch for next-gen gallery that allows you to display thumbnails independent of galleries. This does not replace the single-pic functionality, but is rather meant to complement it. * Installation * !BE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR PLUG-IN FILES BEFORE YOU DO THIS! * To install the patch, simply copy the ngg-functions.php file in zip below to your next-gen gallery plugin folder. If prompted, overwrite the existing file. This patch is for the 0.97 version, but it should work with other version with minor modifications. * –> [Single Thumbnail Patch](http://www.awesomenessinabox.com/files/singlethumbpatch.zip) <– * Usage * Simply add “[thumbnail=x]“, where “x” is the id of the image you want to display, to any post or page. This will be replaced with a thumbnail of that image. You can find an example of usage at my site [here](http://www.awesomenessinabox.com/?p=73). * Alex: Is there any chance this could be added as a permanent feature for next- gen?

Thanks for sharing. * Is there any way to float the thumbnails if I want to have two or more thumbs side by side? * Anonymous User 1148114 * (@anonymized-1148114) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-patch-for-single-thumbnail-support/#post-812863) * I’ve done a similiar patch where you can set the float for each thumbnail. * Syntax is: [thumbnail=id,float] * Patched is applied to versions 0.98 and 0.99. There is another patch in the archive, which gives you full SSL support in the admin section. * Files: [NextGen Gallery Fully Patched](http://www.der-eremit.de/nextgen-gallery-fully-patched/) [NextGen Gallery 0.99 – Fully Patched](http://www.der-eremit.de/nextgen-gallery-099-fully-patched/) * Regards, eremit * [NekoNadia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nekonadia/) * (@nekonadia) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-patch-for-single-thumbnail-support/#post-812864) * That’s wonderful!

By the way, will the SSL issues be fixed too? If you want, I can make some patch files of the SSL fix that I’ve done. * [Alex Rabe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexrabe/) * (@alexrabe) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-patch-for-single-thumbnail-support/#post-812867) * The current trunk should fix all SSL issues.. if not, please let me know * [jeffko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffko/) * (@jeffko) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-patch-for-single-thumbnail-support/#post-812870) * Hello, * I hope I am not being presumptuous in asking. I am looking to see what I may be doing incorrectly with this awesome gallery the people here seem to be having the best understanding of. * My issues are as follows: * To be able to have one thumb display on my photo’s page and the number of pictures to be displayed below the thunb with a very brief description of what the pictures are of. Then when you click on the thumb it goes directly to the slideshow with random transitioning. * To find out where I rename sub pages to Albums. * You guys do great work. * Thanks, * Jeff * [jeffko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffko/) * (@jeffko) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-patch-for-single-thumbnail-support/#post-812871) * PS. Is there a way the browser will not completely reset itself when you forward to the next picture selection? after every new picture I need to scroll down to see it, and then repeat it over and over. * Thanks 1MT (one more time) * Jeff * Anonymous User 1148114 * (@anonymized-1148114) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-patch-for-single-thumbnail-support/#post-812873) * As I don’t use the trunk, I didn’t notice that so far. Do you have any plan when the SSL patches from trunk will be released in a public version? * Nevertheless, as long as the patches aren’t in the public package, I will keep going on to apply the SSL patches and provide the package on my website for those users who don’t want to use the trunk version. * [Alex Rabe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexrabe/) * (@alexrabe) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-patch-for-single-thumbnail-support/#post-812874) * it will be released as version 1.00, because the SSL feature is not backward compat * [Gr1f](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gr1f/) * (@gr1f) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-patch-for-single-thumbnail-support/#post-812924) * eremit, Has your patch simply updated the ngg-functions.php file?
