 * My NextGen-gallery has begun to show thumbnails of different sizes.
 * [http://users.telenor.dk/~dsl640836//screenshot/001/print.JPG](http://users.telenor.dk/~dsl640836//screenshot/001/print.JPG)
 * I have unsuccessfully tried to delete the album and upload it again.
    It does
   not help to uninstall the plugin and reinstall it.
 * (It makes no difference whether I am using WordPress version 2.9.2 or 3.0)
 * Hope there is someone who will help. I really need it!
    Thanks in advance.
 * Best regards
    Michael, Denmark.

 * Addition: I have uploaded the same images on another website (same version of
   NextGEN Gallery and WordPress), and there it works as it should.

 * Hello Michael,
 * Did you know that you can go into manage gallery –>> select the gallery –>> then
   choose the action “create new thumbnails”?
 * That will create new ones for you. Just make sure you go to options –>> thumbnails
   and select the size you want to use first.

 * Hi.
 * Many thanks for your reply!
 * No, I never noticed.
    I have now tested the function. And unfortunately it does
   not help. It is still the same.

 * I had the same problem but found that there were only a hand full of images that
   were the wrong size. Fixed each on by hand and that solved the problem.

 * Hi.
 * What do you mean by “Fixed each on by hand …”?
 * They are all larger than the thumbnails, so it should not make any difference
   what size they have.
    I have another page with exactly the same plugin and the
   same images. And here it works as it should. They are all equal. I just don’t
   understand that.

 * Hello there
 * I have exactly the same problem. When i update one gallery, the thumbnails of
   the old pictures of this gallery, have a wrong size. In other cases, its not 
   necessary to update a gallery to find this problem with thumbnails.
 * I know that i can fix the problem with hand, updating each time the thumbnails
   of each gallery, but i have more than 800 different galleries, i dont think that
   this can be a solution (update 800 galleries can be a little crazy) :(.
 * Thanks in advance for the help!

 * What do you mean?
    Updating by using “Create new thumbnails”?? If yes, that does
   not work for me.

 * Is there anyone who can tell me which file I can go in and adjust the size when
   the problem occur?
    It must be possible to do manually somewhere.

 * I am having the same thumbnail issues. Sizes will not behave. Can’t find a fix
   anywhere yet.

 * Not the perfect fix, but I figured out where you can at least manually change
   the thumbnail dimensions until a better solution is found.
 * Open the database and find the table [prefix]-ngg-pictures. Find the image(s)
   whose thumbnails need adjustment. In the meta_data field, you’ll find the thumbnail
   dimensions listed at the end of the meta_data string. Change the width and height
   to the correct settings and commit the changes to the database.
 * Worked just fine for the thumbnails I was having dimension problems with.
 * Hope this helps someone else.

 * Yes it is a little tricky, but it works. And a perfectionist like me prefer a
   solution like this rather than none at all.
 * It is great. Thank you very much!! 🙂
