Hello,
Just to let you know that I am also having this problem. It was only noticed today but seemed to be fine on Sunday.
There have been no updates to the WordPress website between Sunday and today, so I’m not sure why it has stopped working.
Could it be a problem with PayPal?
I would be interested in hearing anyone’s thoughts and how to fix this.
Many thanks.
Thank you very much for the updated eStore NextGEN Gallery addon. This seems to have done the trick and I’ve easily managed to get all of the clients galleries back up… all 2GB of files.
After been up all night trying to find a way around this problem, I’m now going to get some sleep!
Thanks again, you have no idea how grateful I am.
For anyone else still having problems, you might want to check that your nggallery IDs haven’t changed.
After uninstalling and reinstalling the NextGEN plugin I then had to import the image files, which were still on the server, just not linked to the plugin. This saved me about 2-3 hrs of uploading. Just select “Import folder image” and select the folders from the menu.
You don’t need to wait for the Thumbnails to be re-created either. I just skipped that part.
But because they are all new to the plugin, they all have new IDs and the shortcodes on each page needed updating.
That’s brilliant! Thank you very much!
I added the extra code to the CSS file and set it to 130px and I can now have 6 columns across the page and it goes down to 1 column on the iPhone.
This is very helpful because the final client galleries will have 500+ images in them, which would have meant a lot of scrolling down or a lot of pages.
This is now perfect!
Thanks for the reply.
I’m not sure if my website links were working last night. I’m just going live with the actual site and was removing some parts of the test site.
The link and password above should now be working if you wanted to see how they look.
The variation names will always be the same as they are now. The longest number of characters that are used is 24. But the width of the drop down box has enough room for more than double that.
If I can reduce it to fit a bit tighter to the words inside the box, then that should allow for them to be about the same width as the “Add to Cart” button, and that should then allow for 4-5 columns across the page.
If this is possible, could you give me some pointers on where to make this change? I’m happy to give it a bit of trial and error to get the correct size.
Many thanks.
Many thanks for the help!
The only problem I’m really having now is with the lightbox (No.4) but as you say, this is something to do with NextGEN and I will contact them.
Thanks.
Another update…
I’ve resolved the issues listed in 1 and 3… apart from centering the Slideshow.
Some extra code got copied into the Gallery Page when I entered:
[nggallery id=3 template=wp-eStore-auto-addtocart]
[wp_eStore_cart_fancy1_when_not_empty]
The one issue I would really like to resolve is No.4.
Thanks.
Here’s a link to my site… I’ve moved it to a less dodgy sounding URL:
[http://www.ph-design-test.co.uk/]
This is a direct link to the secure gallery that uses the eStore and NextGEN plugins, the password is “test1”:

If I could have some help with the following or some advice on where to look to make the changes, then that would be appreciated:
1. I’m not sure if this shows up on all browsers, but at the top left and bottom left of the gallery page, there are some broken graphics. They look a bit like the ends of some buttons. I’ve checked them with Firebug and Inspector and they just list as “code” and maybe something to do with bootstrap.css? When I turn the bootstrap settings off in Inspector it does remove them from the site.
2. Ideally I’d like to have the page layout in 4 columns. This is possible to set via NextGEN and a small adjustment to the thumbnail size, but when you view the page on an iPhone it messes up. If I leave the NextGEN column settings blank then it just fills the page depending on it’s width. So, for now I’ve stuck with that and it only fills 3 columns, but looks good on the iPhone (1 column). I think if I can adjust the container for each thumbnail, drop down options and Add to Cart, then that might allow for 4 columns and 1 column on the iPhone.
3. When you select the Slideshow view option, the page loads with the first image, stops and goes blank, then loads the first image again and starts the Slideshow. I’m not sure what the problem is here but I think it started after integrating with eStore. Also, I’d quite like to center the Slideshow on the page.
4. When you click a thumbnail to view it in a floating lightbox with navigation controls, the image opens for a split second on top of the gallery page, with the navigation controls, but then quickly opens in a new page. You then need to click the browser back button to return to the thumbnails.
5. There is some basic formatting that I’m not keen on, but I should be able to work this out myself – the Add to Cart button needs some space at the top, the fonts seems to be set to 90% rather than 100%, the font for the drop down headings (Print Size, Canvas Size, Colour or B&W) don’t match the rest of the site… this also happens in the shopping cart.
Any help or pointer would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
Actually, i just did another test and increased the quantity of one item in the shopping cart and the shipping changed to £2.01. I’ve now changed the “Item Shipping Cost” to 0.000000001 and that seems to stop it increasing by £0.01.
Just in case anyone else had the same problem.
Thanks!
Many thanks! That seems to have done the trick:
WP eStore – Settings – Base Shipping Cost = 2.00
WP eStore – Product – Item Shipping Cost = 0.001
Now with multiple items in the the shopping cart the shipping total stays at £2.00.
Perfect!
