Installation
Lazyest Gallery is a gallery plugin for Wordpress. Because it creates thumbnails and slides on the fly, it is a good plugin to manage images that you have uploaded outside of Wordpress e.g. by FTP.
Step 1: Install Lazyest Gallery using the Wordpress Installer
In the Admin menu, select Plugins → Add New. Enter ‘Lazyest Gallery’ in the search bar and hit the ‘Search Plugins’ button. In the results page, click on ‘Install’ on the far right of the row titled ‘Lazyest Gallery’. In the next page, click on the red Install Now link. After that, activate the plugin.
Step 2: Enter Lazyest Gallery basic options
Goto Settings → Lazyest Gallery. You will see the Lazyest Gallery welcome screen. 
Here you can enter the basic information for Lazyest Gallery. In the ‘Your Gallery Folder’ input box, you enter the Lazyest Gallery directory, relative to the path where you’ve installed Wordpress. This is the directory in which you later make the folders for your images. You don’t store your images in this folder itself. If your directory doesn’t exist yet, Lazyest Gallery can create one for you.
Next, select the page where you want to display your gallery. If you don’t have that page yet, you can create one and come back to the Lazyest Galerry welcome screen later. Lazyest Gallery checks if the gallery shortcode on your page. If not, lazyest Gallery can insert one for you.
Hit the ‘Save Changes’ button and Lazyest Gallery is ready to go.
Step 3: Upload your first batch of pictures
Now that you have created your gallery on the server, why not use FTP to upload some images for your first album? Select the directory wp-content/lg-gallery and create a directory within that folder e.g. my_folder
To transfer files across simply locate them on your hard disk in the Local Site window and then drag-and-drop them across into the folder you created.
You can also use the Lazyest Gallery file manager Media → Lazyest Gallery to upload images. But this upload is limited to one image at a time.
Done! You have finished the installation of Lazyest Gallery. Your gallery is ready and visitors of your blog can enjoy your pictures.

Hi there
I’m a real novice and struggling. I’m now getting the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagecreatefromjpeg() in /home/peterven/public_html/bp/wp-content/plugins/lazyest-gallery/inc/lazyest-cache.php on line 107
#2 by marcel on 8 February 2010 - 22:09
You have to install the GD extension on your php server to get Lazyest Gallery working.
#3 by Josh on 30 January 2010 - 8:35
I am getting a timeout error for line 257 in the cache.php When I look there I don’t see anything about timeout. It says the default is 30 seconds. Is this something I can change in wordpress or is it somewhere else in the php?
#4 by marcel on 30 January 2010 - 10:50
do you have large (in pixels) images?
#5 by siva on 26 January 2010 - 14:46
Thanks for your beautiful plugin. It works fine. But the folder image(thumbnail image) is not coming! It shows only in the following format..
imagename(no-of-images)
I would like to show it under an image, so-called thumbnail image!
And also tell me how and where to add the slideshow code. Kindly give me a solution asap.
Thanks in Advance.
#6 by developer on 26 January 2010 - 14:55
please set the folder icon in Settings->Lazyest Gallery
You put shortcodes in a post or a page.
#7 by siva on 26 January 2010 - 15:16
Thanks for your reply. How to set an icon for a folder which has say, 5 photos? I am a novice user. I added an image which has the same name as the folder name. But still I could not see that icon for that folder. Kindly brief me.

#9 by siva on 26 January 2010 - 15:44
Hey I got it now. Everything is working fine!!
Thanks again.
#10 by sean greenhalgh on 25 January 2010 - 20:48
Hi, Is there any way i can make the pics appear on 2 pages? I am doing a site where I have one section for design & one for architecture and I need to keep them separate.
Many Thanks
#11 by marcel on 26 January 2010 - 8:45
yes, you could make a gallery with two main folders “design” and “architecture”, and use the
[lg_folder folder="design"]tag to split your gallery over two pages.#12 by Brad on 19 January 2010 - 0:50
When I go to the page”galleries” there is an icon called “folders” and below it my_folder(6). I have to click on that line of text to see my gallery. How can I get the gallery to just show up on its own?
Thanks, Brad
#13 by marcel on 19 January 2010 - 9:22
you could use the shortcode
[lg_folder folder="insert_your_folder_here"]and ignore the message in Lazyest Gallery settings#14 by Stefan on 13 January 2010 - 10:44
Hi Marcel
I installed your gallery but i get no “Next” or “Back” Button right and left of the Picture. Is this not supported?
Thanks
Stefan
#15 by marcel on 13 January 2010 - 11:17
It should be supported. Your thickbox plugin is probablt rewriting the urls. I prefer shadowbox with lightbox configuration. And don’t let the plugin add the tags themselves
#16 by Mohammad Patel on 9 January 2010 - 19:04
Hi
When I activate the plugin, it gives me an error:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
#17 by Marcel on 9 January 2010 - 20:37
Hi,
Could you please copy the extra information from the box below the message? I’m interested in the file name and line number.
#18 by Mohammad Patel on 10 January 2010 - 5:44
it’s blank, there is nothing showing… big yellow box with only that message..
#19 by Lazyest Deveoper on 10 January 2010 - 13:01
Please delete the plugin and re-install. If that fails, please try to de-activate other plugins.
#20 by Peter on 9 January 2010 - 12:04
Nice work
I want to write some information for each album. So
I am wondering if it´s possible to us an include file, like info.txt/php and to upload it to the gallery…
Thank you very much
#21 by Marcel on 9 January 2010 - 20:36
for securuty reasons, I’m not going to implement a function to use user-uploaded include files. However in the version after 0.16.0 it will be possible to add extra information for folders.
#22 by ken on 2 January 2010 - 15:47
hi thanks for great plugin!!!
how do i remove “Now viewing: XXXXX.com » Pagenamehere
» Folders” wording at top?
thanks
#23 by Marcel on 2 January 2010 - 16:27
Hi ken,
put this in your stylesheet:
.lg_gallery .top_navigator { display: none; }#24 by Paula on 23 November 2009 - 15:14
Thank you for a prompt response, and this is a great plugin here.
#25 by Paula on 23 November 2009 - 6:09
I want to display the content of a folder (images and folders) using [lg_folder folder="foldername"], but it is only showing he images and not the folders. How can I make it show the folders as well?
Thank you
#26 by marcel on 23 November 2009 - 8:48
Hi Paula,
Showing subfolders is not possible.
It is a good idea for future enhancements though.
#27 by Poodle Breeders on 22 November 2009 - 3:59
So, is there a way I can create gallery for images within a post?
Thanks in advance
#28 by marcel on 22 November 2009 - 8:47
yes you can, just place the shortcode in your post. However, your main gallery should be on a page
#29 by Joe McL on 21 November 2009 - 3:55
I installed Lazyest Gallery in the plugins directory, all standard stuff. I activated it, no problem. But when I went to Settings- Lazyest Gallery I got something I’ve never seen before in WP:
“Not Found
The requested URL /wp-admin/lazyest-gallery/lazyest-admin.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”
please advise
#30 by Lazyest Admin on 21 November 2009 - 9:42
please download and reinstall
#31 by Mike on 22 October 2009 - 8:07
Hi Marcel
I am getting the error “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page” when I try to upload new photos. Please help! Thank you
#32 by marcel on 22 October 2009 - 10:07
Have you logged in as administrator?
#33 by Marcel on 10 October 2009 - 12:38
You can sort your images in the Admin area.
#34 by M@ on 20 September 2009 - 18:58
I’m unsure what you mean by shortcode. Does it go in the visual or html tab of the page? I’ve tried in both and it just comes up as [lg_gallery] in the page with a black background
#35 by John on 3 September 2009 - 9:58
I have only one folder with images. How can I force the page into that folder on load? Thanks.
#36 by Marcel on 3 September 2009 - 12:09
you could use the shortcode
[lg_folder folder="yourfoldername"]#37 by cindy on 9 October 2009 - 18:28
is there a way to have it go onload to the first image in that folder?
#38 by John on 3 September 2009 - 9:50
Thanks for the great plugin!
My question is: What if I have only one gallery and want to force the page to navigate into that folder automatically?
#39 by John on 3 September 2009 - 9:49
Thanks for the great plugin!
My question is: What if I have only one gallery and want to force the page to navigate into that folder automatically?
#40 by Mark on 28 August 2009 - 4:47
Hi,
I wanted to set pagination in the sidebar. I added this to the side bar which works. What do I add to get an image count with previous and next arrows?
#41 by Len on 27 August 2009 - 7:54
Hi I was wondering if images can be uploaded in BULK via an FTP program, and therefore be automatically inserted into the relevant galleries. I have hundreds of images and doing them 1 by 1 is time consuming.
#42 by marcel on 27 August 2009 - 8:55
Yes, that’s the way to do it.
Lazyest Gallery has been designed for uploading by FTP and will automatically create thumbnail pictures.
#43 by Jorge on 14 July 2009 - 13:09
Hello!
First of all, thanks for your excellent work. Nice pluging! I’m just trying it and I think I’ve found a bug, or maybe I haven’t understand something.
The posible bug is about [lg_folder] tag. I’m trying to display a single folder in a post with the tag:
[lg_folder folder="my-folder-name"]
Nothing displays. The gallery is right built and configured because I can see it by other ways (with lg_gallery, for instance). I’ve made a code trace and found that posible bug is in line 291, function lg_folder_func(). Parameter $atts DOES NOT CONTAIN pairs but just literal argument (“folder=’xxx’”). Thus shortcode_atts() function doesn’t match pairs with array_key_exists() becuase expects folder => “xxx” in $atts, so returns empty string.
My wordpress version is 2.7.
Thanks in advance.
#44 by marcel on 28 July 2009 - 8:53
strange, I cannot reproduce this behavior.
#45 by Stone on 4 June 2009 - 7:51
Hi Marcel,
Your plug-in is so great, that’s exactly what I need, but have a problem during experiment,comments field is not showing up in individual image but it’s showing up in gallery page, how must I do to fix it?!
#46 by marcel on 5 June 2009 - 11:10
I tried to look at it at your website but could’nt find your galleru\y
#47 by danish on 3 June 2009 - 10:20
Hi,
nice plugin, i just install it and work great
but I think this didn’t support SEO as well
how to fix that?
#48 by Marcel on 3 June 2009 - 16:24
what kind of support had you expected?
#49 by Larry on 31 May 2009 - 0:55
First off thanks for the great plugin! I just installed it and am starting to get into a few customizations. I’m not sure if this has been brought to your attention or not, but the first ‘»’ in the breadcrumbs navigation isn’t separated from the page links. By changing line 124 of ‘lazyest-gallery.php’ to
echo ‘ » ‘;
you can separate it from the surrounding anchor tags. This is just a little detail I noticed that you might want to address in the next release.
#50 by Larry on 31 May 2009 - 0:58
Oops, I’m not sure how put code into my comment.
#51 by selkin on 21 May 2009 - 16:36
Hello Marcel,
I like your work here. What I don’t get is how to connect or pair this with an anonymous user uploader. In other words, I would like to have a form in which anonymous users can chose a gallery, post images and captions and they await moderation/approval. Any ideas on this?
Thanks so much
#52 by Marcel on 22 May 2009 - 9:03
You can upload images with any FTP program you like.
#53 by Chad on 25 April 2009 - 19:15
Hi Marcel
Like a few others I have managed to get the gallery to work but Lightbox 2 seems to still not work at all with the gallery. I have turned on the auto function and still nothing. I am not sure if my theme is blocking the Lightbox feature or not is there a way to tell or maybe i am missing something?
Thanks,
Chad-
#54 by Marcel on 25 April 2009 - 20:21
Chad (and others)
I recommend shadowbox (without automation) for lightbox effects with Lazyest Gallery.
Lightbox 2 tends to overwrite LG image URLs wrongly.
#55 by bArtAA on 8 April 2009 - 16:34
Marcel,
thanks for this great plugin, i’m using it quite some time now.
Recently i found the option to use Lightbox for showing the images. The problem is however i can get the images to show up using Lightbox, they show up as single images……..
I have installed http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/lightbox-2/ and this plugin is recognized by Lazyest gallery.
Version of Lazyest gallery 0.12.2.3
What am i doing wrong ?
and how can i force the lightbox if i don’t use a lightbox plugin ??
#56 by Cindy on 27 March 2009 - 19:06
OK, let me see if I can explain this better. Instead of having a single page with one master gallery, I have 3 pages with separate galleries: Fractals, Photos, Gallery.
When I first did the installation, it asked for the page uri for the gallery I was setting up. This is used for the permalink. Now I have 3 pages all using the same peramalink. You can see my setup at kitara.org
I hope this helps.
#57 by marcel on 27 March 2009 - 20:42
Cindy,
You can have more gallery pages if you want. e.g. One gallery page per folder, using the
[lg_folder ]tag. The gallery URI will only be used by LG to show previews.#58 by Cindy on 27 March 2009 - 21:49
Thank you for clearing that up
#59 by matomik on 26 March 2009 - 12:22
Hi,
First, I want say that Lazyest is the gallery what i have searching ! Without 100 settings pages, just some pages for settings, file management, and ok, all is good, I want stay to Lazyest.
But I have a little problem, Not att folder is viewable. For exemple, on my blog : Le blog-portail à Matomik » Album Photo » photos_hiver => This folder will view all my photos. But, Le blog-portail à Matomik » Album Photo » temp => No photo showed.
Have you an idea of the from the problem ?
#60 by Marcel on 27 March 2009 - 8:28
matomik,
You have a memery problem there. Be aware that high resolution photos do take an incredible amount of memory to process.
#61 by Cindy on 24 March 2009 - 15:56
Hi, first I just wanted to say how terrific your plug-in is. I tried a bunch of others but this is the only one that worked right away.
I have one question, I have three separate pages that I have galleries on. Is there a way to change the permalink settings for these pages? Thanks
#62 by Marcel on 24 March 2009 - 16:48
er, sorry, I don’t understand your question
#63 by Emma on 22 March 2009 - 11:59
Hi Marcel
My gallery has been working for a very long time, now all of a sudden my gallery wont show up … do you have any idea what could be the problem?
#64 by Emma on 22 March 2009 - 13:24
Its Ok I found the problem … the plugin clashes with the Easy Adsenser plugin
Now I am having trouble with the gallery page table .. it is not set right!!
#65 by Euan on 22 March 2009 - 2:12
Hey, since Wordpress 2.7.1 the WPG2 plugin I was using has stopped working. I used lazyest gallery before that so thought I’d give it a go. However I get the following error… Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatefromjpeg() in /home/…./public_html/wp-content/plugins/lazyest-gallery/lazyest-cache.php on line 83
Does this mean there’s a function not available in PHP on my hosts web server?
#66 by Marcel on 23 March 2009 - 8:47
It most probably does.
#67 by Steve on 26 February 2009 - 4:53
for some reason my images are always breaking
here is an example of the code
http://blogblah.com/wp-content/plugins/lazyest-gallery/lazyest-img.php?file=my_folder%2Fman.jpg&thumb=1
this is the path ftp wise to the image (man.jpg):
blogblah.com/wp-content/lg-gallery/my_folder
#68 by marcel on 26 February 2009 - 9:31
Steve,
For some reason your site is offline.
Be aware that generating thumbnails from large images takes a lot of memory on your server. Please check the restrictions on the memory php is allowed to use for your GoDaddy account.
#69 by Peter on 22 February 2009 - 4:48
Hi, I seem to get a 404 page not found when I click on one of the folders on the gallery page.
Any ideas as to why this is happening?
#70 by marcel on 22 February 2009 - 8:59
plz check your settings
#71 by cat on 11 February 2009 - 20:52
Hi, Great stuff ..Thanks!! but I’m feeling like a real dimwit here. The admin part looks fine but as you’ll see [lg-gallery] is all the shows up on the gallery page. ??
#72 by Marcel on 11 February 2009 - 20:58
oops, you made a little typo.
please change the tag to
[lg_gallery](underscore instead of hyphen)
#73 by Rockland USA on 7 February 2009 - 1:55
Thanks Marcel for all your work on this gallery. I figured out the template comment and had it working last night. I’ve been doing a lot of tweaking of the appearance to make it match the site. I LOVE THIS GALLERY! I looked at nearly 50 different gallery plugins and nothing came to what I was looking for. This is the ONLY one that did what I wanted! Comments on every individual photo, easy thumbnail navigation, and tons of CSS to customize it to match the site.
Only have a few more tweaks I need to figure out and it’s done!
#74 by tomas on 6 February 2009 - 17:45
Thanks for your remark, Marcel, I checked it
But slide-show still doesn’t work – only text: “loading…”
#75 by Marcel on 6 February 2009 - 22:09
tomas,
your
<head>section is still not OK. The javascripts are not included.Please add
<?php wp_head(); ?>just before of the</head>tag.#76 by tomas on 7 February 2009 - 20:32
OK, you’re right – I added as you suggested it. Now it looks like:
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”; charset=” />
» Blog Archive
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”" type=”text/css” media=”screen” />
<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=” RSS Feed” href=”" />
<link rel=”pingback” href=”" />
…
it still doesn’t work… Could you check it again?
#77 by tomas on 7 February 2009 - 20:41
ooops… meta tags are not displayed..
#78 by marcel on 7 February 2009 - 22:09
Hi Tomas,
I tried to check the javascripts, but I got this error from your server:
Zadanie generacji strony nie moglo byc spelnione ze wzgledu na wenetrzny blad. Prosze sprawdzic konfiguracje serwisu lub skontaktowac sie z BOK.
#79 by Rockland USA on 6 February 2009 - 2:53
Regarding my previous post – I just realized that during the install process, the wp_ was not in the prefix of the lg_comment field in the mysql database.
Now I have all errors gone – everything works but the comments field is not showing up in the gallery. Anyone know how to get comments to show? I do have that option checked.
#80 by Marcel on 6 February 2009 - 11:37
Hi Rockland,
Sorry for the missing prefix error. I’m investigating this.
About your comments field not showing up: please check your
page.phpin your theme’s directory and see if the line<?php comments_template(); ?>is present.#81 by Rockland USA on 6 February 2009 - 0:05
The one feature I love about this is the ability to allow comments on each individual picture. However, when I enable that feature, I get errors throughout the site regarding the database:
WordPress database error: [Table 'db274349975.wp_lg_comments2image' doesn't exist]
SELECT comment_ID FROM wp_lg_comments2image WHERE comment_approved=’approve’;
0 6
test/ February 5, 2009 WordPress database error: [Table 'db274349975.wp_lg_comments2image' doesn't exist]
SELECT * FROM wp_lg_comments2image WHERE img_ID = 1 and comment_approved=’approve’;
What is causing this?
#82 by marcel on 4 February 2009 - 22:59
Hi Tomas,
There is something wrong in your theme. Your page has actually two (2)
<head>sections.#83 by tomas on 4 February 2009 - 22:50
Hi!
I’ve installed following the instruction above.
I see thumbnails, but when I click “slideshow” in the gallery (page “PROJECTS”), I can see only “loading…”. I’ve deleted all plugins in wp_content/plugins to eliminate any possible conflicts… What’s going on?
#84 by Mike T on 29 January 2009 - 19:06
Hi, I like the gallery plugin but I have two questions I hope you can help me with.
1) I want to integrate Highslide JS into my gallery but I need to add a class of “highslide” to the anchor tag around the thumbnail image but I am not sure how or where to do this. My guess would be in the lazyest-images.php but I am not sure how to do it.
2) I have both a main gallery (lazyest-thumb-view) on its own page and a mini gallery (lazyest-sidebox) using the sidebar php code that is on my main page. My question is that there is only one option to set the amount of columns but I want to set the mini gallery to 3 columns and the main gallery to 8.
Thx for any help and sorry for the long post.
#85 by marcel on 29 January 2009 - 22:06
Mike,
@1 You could select the thickbox option for Lazyest Gallery and hack
lazyest-images.phpby replacing all entries ofthickboxbyhighslide@2 yes you can, use the function
lg_show_thumbs( $folder, $count, $cols, $paging );where $folder is the foldername, $count is the number of thumbnails, $cols is the number of columns, $paging is true/false for showing the next/prev below the gallery
#86 by Timcsi on 29 January 2009 - 9:56
Hello Marcel,
Thanks you right is working but next to this setting still written this “WARNING: A supported Lightbox plug-in was not detected.)”
And I have another question is there anyhow I could set the size of the slide show image pictures ? Cause it appears too small in the widget window.
Rgds
Timea
#87 by Marcel on 29 January 2009 - 10:13
Timea,
Lazyest Gallery does not yet recognize all Lightbox plugins. Which plugin do you use?
You can set the slide show image size on the Lazyest Gallery Settings page. You may have to clear the slide cache to see the affect.
For more information please read http://brimosoft.nl/lazyest/user-guide/#slides_options
The sidebar widget uses the sizes set for thumbnails. For more information about thumbnails settings please read http://brimosoft.nl/lazyest/user-guide/#thumbnail_options
regards,
Marcel
#88 by Timcsi on 29 January 2009 - 1:36
Hello There,
I successfully upload the plugin my pictures, is great, works perfectly just I can not make it working together with Lightbox 2!? I have the plugin active but i don’t really understand this part to put this code where exatly????
-”Add a rel=”lightbox” attribute to any link tag to activate the lightbox or rel=”lightbox[roadtrip]” for image set”-
Anybody can help?
Thanks a lot
#89 by marcel on 29 January 2009 - 8:34
Timcsi,
Go to settings -> Lazyest Gallery and check “Show image in Lightbox” for Thumbnail View Options.
Lazyest Gallery will automatically add a rel=”lightbox[folder]” to your pictures
#90 by gaz on 21 January 2009 - 8:24
Does it support video?
#91 by Marcel on 21 January 2009 - 9:58
No.
Images only, sorry
#92 by ezrena on 19 January 2009 - 13:10
thanks for the quick respond. i will wait because ive been searching for the perfect gallery and this is IT!
#93 by ezrena on 19 January 2009 - 12:14
hi there, i installed and follow your exact installation guide. but this comes up – http://www.malaysiadesignarchive.org/?page_id=142
and in my ‘file manager’ tab in my dashboard i have an error message ‘You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.’ and when i ‘view gallery’, it all comes up as text.
eeps. any ideas?
#94 by marcel on 19 January 2009 - 12:42
ezrena, yes I’ve got an idea. You do not have sufficiet right to write the files with captions to your gallery directions. I’m working on a fix to ignore the error and display the gallery without captions. Some patience please.
#95 by Cindi on 15 January 2009 - 4:19
Hi I may be a bit dense…but when I made to different pages ( ie Artwork and Photos & Stuff) both folders on my HD/website shows up in each of the pages, not the ones I want to show up how do I tell a page only too open the correct folder?
Thanks
Cindi
#96 by marcel on 15 January 2009 - 17:07
Hi Cindi,
you can use the folder shorttag e.g.
put this on your page:
[lg_folder folder="Artwork"]#97 by Chris Hartzog on 3 January 2009 - 0:41
Hi,
Thanks for the plug in. I installed it and the gallery and photos seem to work properly, however in WP Admin when I click on File Manager I receive the following error message. What do you recommend?
“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” (this is the URL and the permissions are 744 for lazyest-filemanager.php.)
http://www.chris-hartzog.com/wordpress/wp-admin/admin.php?page=lazyest-gallery/lazyest-filemanager.php
#98 by Marcel on 3 January 2009 - 13:13
Chris, It’s a user level control error. I’ll fix it as soon as possible

After installing your latest version 0.12.1.4, all links to galleries and photos begin with HTTPS, which of course fails. Is there a quick fix? Is this a known problem? Or should I re-install it? I did an automatic upgrade from the plugin’s management page.

Hi Colin,
I have never seen this before. Somehow your site is recognized by the plugin as a secure site.
What URI have you filld in the Settings page?[edit] I found the error. There is a bug in the gallery uri for Windows/IIS servers. I’ll fix it.
A workaround is in your mailbox.

Max,
Try changing your shortcode to
[lg_gallery]GD libraries should be OK.
#102 by Max on 17 November 2008 - 11:38
I followed the instructions but when I click on the page with the code [lg-gallery] i don’t see the gallery.
Are “GD Library Infos” correct?
* GD support: yes
* GD Version: bundled (2.0.34 compatible) no
* FreeType Support: no
* T1Lib Support: yes
* GIF Read Support: yes
* GIF Create Support: yes
* JPG Support: yes
* PNG Support: yes
* WBMP Support: no
* XPM Support: yes
* XBM Support: no
* JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support:

@Michael: I don’t quite understand your question. What do you mean with desired Gallery?
[edit:] You can also make pages that start at a certain folder by using the [lg_folder] shortcode. See http://brimosoft.nl/lazyest/ item 5.
#104 by Michael Holley on 5 November 2008 - 2:58
The gallery works perfectly. I quite easily added Lightbox support.
My question is there a way to have a page load a certain gallery and not just the lg-gallery folder then select a desired gallery?

Patricia,
Some ideas.
- a typo in the folder name
- a dot as first character of the folder
- .htaccess rules prevent access
#106 by Patricia on 31 October 2008 - 14:06
Hi – I’ve tried installing this plug-in several times now and I keep getting the same error message (when I both view the gallery page and also in the admin area). On the page itself: WARNING: Unable to access to the Gallery Folder: Check your settings
and within admin it tells me the gallery folder does not exist.
I’ve gone through all your steps and made the directories (with proper permissions) – uploaded the images in the sub-directory etc, and still no dice. Any ideas what I have done wrong? I can’t give the URL as it’s password protected while I work on it…any ideas would be very welcome!
PS. could it be in issue that I have this blog NOT as a top level page within the site structure (i.e. http://www.sitename.com/blog)
Thanks!

hi Pauli,
Something is going terribly wrong. The server hits an internal error while processing the thumbnails.
e-mail is on its way.

hi
http://www.pauliundmena.at
you can see, this are my first trials to make a hp.
thanks pauli
#109 by lazyest admin on 7 October 2008 - 7:22
@pauli,
Did you check your settings? Did you make a subfolder as in step 2? Could you share the URL of your gallery page so we can check it?
OR, you can make your first folder in the New Folder box
#110 by pauli on 6 October 2008 - 22:46

Hi Dan,
I’ll add ‘friendly image names’ to my todo list.
#112 by Dan on 6 October 2008 - 2:01
I guess I need to rename my photos, some of them are named DSC0224.jpg. What I am saying is two part. A new field for photo name, (ex. Sea Turtle) and then description (This sea turtle blah blah blah). That would lead way to another feature, organizing the sequence of the photos in the gallery.

#113 by lazyest admin on 5 October 2008 - 21:03
Hi Dan,
I am not quite sure if I understand what you mean with “photo name”. What would you like to change in the breadcrumb trail vs to e.g. in http://brimosoft.nl/gallery/?file=folder_1/rode_roos.jpg ?
#114 by Dan on 5 October 2008 - 16:08
Thanks, got it working and I’m customizing it.
I was wondering if there is any future update that will allow a “photo name” + Description.
Also, is it possible to put the photo name in the breadcrumb trail? (or omit the file name completely)
#115 by Marcel (brimosoft) on 4 October 2008 - 22:47
hi Dan,
Please replace the image of the shortcode with the text [lg_gallery]
The image above is there because the real shortcode would trigger a gallery
#116 by Dan on 4 October 2008 - 22:22
My gallery isn’t showing. I wonder if it has something to do with my template.

Help!

Hi Michelle.
I found a non-working shortcode at your gallery. Please change it to
[lg_gallery]Also, please check
Force Other Popup Plugin Support: in Settings » Lazyest GalleryAnd use the latest stable version of Lazyest Gallery = 0.11.1.5
#118 by Michelle on 3 October 2008 - 15:03
Hi Marcel!
Thank you first for this wonderful piece of work!
This is exaxtly what I was looking for.
I have only one problem:
My gallery is on the right place, and the images are in the folder.
When I klick on a photo nothing happens … only the blxk screen and the loading symbol appears.
Can you help me? The URL is: http://www.orchesterverein.at.
Thank you so much!
Greetings from Vienna, Michelle

hi marcel,
can i send the details (login) by mail or icq?
thanks a lot
#120 by marcel on 25 September 2008 - 13:04
@Pauli,
That should not happen. What is the URI of your website so I can have a look?
#121 by pauli on 25 September 2008 - 12:35
Hi, i followed up the installation guide, but after the activation of the plugin my way stops, if i click on manage category in wp backend and then the “lazyest gallery” link, i get the following error message:
Could not find any image folders in your Gallery. Please check your Gallery settings
But why? I created a directory called “lg-gallery” in the wp-content folder and a subdir with some sample images… for testrun i also lifted up all rights to 777, but it still doesn´t work…
any body has a solution, this plugin looks so good, i want to use it!
greets
#122 by marcel on 23 September 2008 - 21:46
@stone
First choose one of the popular Lightbox plugins e.g Lightbox-2 http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/lightbox-2/
Upload it to your site and activate it.
Now go to Setting » Lazyest Gallery:
Does that work for you?
#123 by Stone on 23 September 2008 - 19:02
Hi, marcel!
I have a question:
How to use lightbox in gallery?!
#124 by marcel on 22 September 2008 - 21:03
@shin,
You put the [lg_gallery] shortcode somewhere in your page.
#125 by shin on 22 September 2008 - 20:47
where do you put the lg_gallery shortcode?
I made the Page.
#126 by marcel on 19 January 2009 - 12:40
somewhere on a page is OK
