[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Resize & Thumbnail creation not working

If you go to Gallery > Overview > Plugin check (click on the button) and Server settings, do you see anything out of the ordinary? Is the GD library installed?

Hi,

I got the same problem. When I try to change a thumbnail, this small “load”-screen is loading and loading and loading and doesn’t come to an end.

The plugin-check says everything is fine.

I also have the same problem. Plugin check OK. Server settings:

Any help appreciated.

Thanks freckleboy; my settings actually have PHP Memory Limit : 128, so that may be indeed the issue.

Have a look at http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP, That’s what I used. Good luck.

Additional note:

It has been my experience also that the NextGen script(s) can ‘timeout’ on a busy server…especially in a shared environment…and behaves as noted above…i.e., the thumbnail creation starts, then just hangs if time exceeded. Doing just 10 or so at once fixed this for me (as opposed to 50).

PHP Max Script Execute Time : 200s <=========exceeding this time can cause issues with NextGen! In my case, the default is 30 seconds.

I changed the file ‘default-constants.php : (the 128M was 64M before and the 64M was 32M before)

// set memory limits
if ( !defined(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’) ) {
if( is_multisite() ) {
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘128M’);
} else {
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);
}
}
if ( ! defined( ‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’ ) ) {
define( ‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ );
}
