Hi @hamelzm , can you please send me a link to the new discussion? I’m hoping it will help me to resolve my (same)problem.

Hi
I’ve tried, but maybe your instructions were a bit ambitious for my skill level!

I can recall a report linked with Galleries using filenames instead of titles, but that only happens whenever you are importing from the WordPress Media Library into NextGen.
I HAVE IMPORTED IMAGES FROM THE WORDPRESS LIB, BUT HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH THAT IN THE ENGLISH VERSION, AND SOME OF THE IMAGES SHOWING THE FILE NAMES WERE NOT FROM WP, SO I DONT THINK THAT’S THE PROB.

Ok, let’s double-check everything to be sure.
Go to your Danish page http://smallplanet.dk/da/billedarkiv/
Are you able to edit that page?
YEP, CAN EDIT THIS.

What’s, is the NextGen Gallery shortcode?
THIS IS WHERE I GOT LOST
I WOULD THINK I AM USING CLASSIC EDITOR
DO I JUST CLICK ON THE LINK?
THEN I GET:
[ngg src=”albums” ids=”1″ display=”pro_grid_album” open_gallery_in_lightbox=”1″]

IS THAT RIGHT?

Checking your shortcode

Using the Classic Editor, your shortcode will be available at:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_z1OSMU01CqzHJnxS80j2HmArp4JQFCD/view?usp=sharing

Using Gutenberg, your shortcode will be available at:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZUT_GrVTIwfgtSyyzPNN4zIvbDUqhGSw/view?usp=sharing

Check the ID of that Gallery.
Go to Gallery > Manage Galleries
NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN HERE. WHERE DO I SEARCH? TRIED IN THE IMAGES BOX, BUT NO RESULTS THERE

Is that Gallery (use the id obtain in the shortcode to search for that gallery) using filenames instead of titles? Are you able to edit those titles and save them?
IN THE MANAGE GALLERIES BIT, YES I CAN EDIT AND SAVE FILE NAMES

I COULD SEND YOU A SCREEN DUMP, BUT NOT POSSIBLE HERE…

Thanks, I’ll try and play around with that.
But just to be clear: I’m not using the ‘description’ option, only the ‘title’
The problem is that the ‘filename’ is showing instead of the title, and I presume that this should never show?
Do you think that changing the lightbox options can fix this problem – that the filenames are showing?

– I haven’t entered any text in the description box.
– The gallery works perfectly in English, only shows filenames when I name it as a Danish page.

I’ve been trying to solve this issue over the last couple of days, removing the plugin, reinstalling, creating new pages and new galleries…

I’ve now worked out where things go wrong. My site uses polylang with Danish and English. The English version of the gallery is fine (even though the titles are still all in Danish). As soon as I switch so that the gallery is listed as a Danish page, the titles all turn to filenames!

Is this a problem with polylang or the gallery? Any ideas?

Thanks Sona
But I have the free version, so I don’t think I have access …
