I installed your plugin. I used FTP to install it and my problem was solved. But after installing my gallery is appearing odd. Please view this link http://thistime.in/hobby
I have used the default setting.
@Raj Can you please check for your installed other plugins, It seems gallery are automatic fading but this features is not included with version 1.0 yet.
You can check after deactivating any plugins, which is using for gallery management or photo fading or photo cycling etc type things.
I got a code on your page like
$(‘#slideshow’).cycle({
fx: ‘fade’,
next: ‘#next’,
prev: ‘#prev’
});
It’s may from your current theme or other plugins. Try to remove it and then check back.
Thanks
I love it. If I may I would like to post a suggestion for the update. I would like to:
1. Ignore the title and description so it just shows the photo without the black border and information.
2. If you click on the photo that your screen turns black and the photo will appear in large in the middle of the screen.
3. (Wish) The ability to comment on specific photos.
Thank you for your nice suggestion
hope it will upgrade version wise in future as well.
Very nice and simple plugin. My only gripe at the moment is that images do not resize automatically to the default Large image size. I have to save the images at the Large image size to prevent then from being cropped. Other than that, looks great.
Thanks thanks thanks. Now I can see my gallery.
you are most welcome
Thanks
, it really great plugin… one more thing… the slider didn’t work at all… how can I fix it ? First, I use default (500 milisecond) and then I change 100 milisecond, but still didn’t work… please…
slider settings actually is not for large image fading settings, it is for bottom thumb images movement settings, let me know if the thumb images moving speed is controllable or not.
thanks
i see… but the bottom thumb images didn’t moving too… , maybe you can check my site, sunheavenrise.com. Thanks a lot
I did not find any gallery here, may be you are using a version when I was updating the files, you may check after re-installing the plugins with updated current one.
Hi, I noticed people talking about ‘sliders’. For some reason I can’t get the sliders to work on my site http://www.checkmysystems.com (bottom of the home page). Any idea why this might be happening? Thanks.
hi, the number of your image is 4, try to upload another 3 image, to see the sliding effect of thumb images you need to upload minimum 7 image, then the arrows of thumb will be active to slide bottom images.
Thanks
Can’t delete a picture once it is uploaded. Any suggestions?
I have fixed the issue on updated current one, please download the latest updated one and try with it.
Thanks
How many pictures can you put in a gallery? I have 3 in one of my galleries but when I upload it and then view the page only 2 shows
not sure why is happens, can you please share your gallery link?
Thanks
I installed your plugin, created a gallery, placed it on a page and it worked great. Two day later I come back to the page and the gallery is not showing the images. I get the shell but no images. Any ideas what I need to do to fix this?
Thanks!
please share your gallery link here, so I can see.
Thanks
hi
I cannot delete images from the gallery, I have the latest version installed today and made sure the directories are set too 777. Any suggestions?
Thanks
hi. i just made more than one gallery. If the page shows the first gallery is active, but the other galleries are thumbnails and when i click the first thumbnail of another gallery, the first picture of the first gallery changes. How can i change things that i can click all the galleries? I hope you can help me. kind regards
This is just a simple photo gallery and not deigned for multiple photo gallery in a single page. We are working on this. Multiple Photo gallery will be implement in our next version. Keep in touch it will be come soon. Thanks for commenting.
I only have 500 px of space for the gallery and the thumbnail slider is too wide. Please can you tell me how to make it smaller. I have deactivated it for now, but I hope to use it if this can be fixed. Many thanks
Please tell me how to change the width of the gallery, I can only fit 500 px
Many thanks
It’s very easy to set gallery width from default setting page under galleries menu. From there you can set desired thumbnail size and large image size. If you have 500 pixel space for gallery, you can set large image size (494 x 250 = width x height) pixel. Because 6 pixel will be use for border and image padding. please let me know if it is helpful to you.
Thanks for using our simple gallery plugin.
newest version just installed. pictures are loaded and framework is on page but no pictures are showing in framework. http://stkittsapartments.net Went to look in directory and it appears 0777 permission is present. Don’t know where to look to make any other changes to get pictures to show in gallery. HELP!!!!!!
The gallery using in your website is not our plugin “dd simple photo gallery”. Please read description and go through screenshot. It’s very easy to use our photo galley.
Setting permissions to 777 is a HUGE security risk! I’ve had all sorts of trouble on WP sites with hackers who use open permissions like this to come in and take over blogs I host, adding malicious content, and getting my sites banned by Google for malware. Isn’t there any other solution than leaving a folder wide open like that?
Images aren’t showing up. The appear to upload fine but the thumbnail and in the gallery just shows the broken image link icon with the question mark. I changed the permissions of the cache folder and it still doesn’t work. I was able to install it on a different website earlier and it worked fine.
on adding multiple galleries the previous galleries are acting weird. Images thumbs are displayed but not the images and the title and description changes. There seems the problem is because of ordering. Can u please look at our site and help us? http://www.downloadcrunch.com. we will be grateful if u can help as we are reaching launch date.
Thanks for using our photo gallery plugin. We are get lots of request on this topics. Actually this plugin is very simple and not design for multiple gallery. As we get lots of request now we concern about this. We will update this plugin soon…
Keep watching for latest update.
Hi,
I just wanted to know that i am using the latest version of wordpress. i have activated this plug-in, while uploading it is showing information of “FILE Upload Error no. 6″ can you please let me know how to remove this error ?
Thanks
Hey! Thanks for this plugin. It looks great! I am having one issue with the “Ordering” feature – it isn’t using the number I enter in the Ordering field, but instead still using the “#ID” and so the photos are displayed in the order in which they were added. Do you have a fix for this?
Hi, I have added 15 jpgs to my gallery, all the same size, RGB, and only 11 show up. Any idea why?
Thanks
Hi, I posted on this forum a week or two ago, but don’t see my post now. I uploaded 15 images, all RGB, all the same size. Only 12 are showing though (only 11, on one computer). Any idea what went wrong?

It seems easy enough, but I have no idea what you mean by looking in directory and giving permission 0777. Where do I go to look for that? I’ve made a gallery but there’s no upload button anywhere to post to a page. If it can’t be explained simple I will just delete it and look for my 5th plugin for picture uploading.
I loved the look of your gallery so chose to upload it on my site. Cache permissions in GoDaddy are no longer by number, but rather buttons you click. I have Cache permission as such–Web User Permission is Read, Write, Execute (Directory) so all are checked. Same three are checked for Owner Permissions. I figured that should solve my problem. Please go see my initial gallery on my home page. I have thumbnail present but large image is not loading: http://www.artifex-llc.com I have to complete this for photography school assignment asap so a quick response from anyone knowing my problem would be helpful!!!
Now I have loaded three more images and even the thumbnail isn’t showing. I am desperate for help.
Any idea why my images are just appearing at blue question marks in a box? Do I need to fix my permissions?
Ordering not work
Hi, I’m new to plugins and I’m unsure how to make this folder writeable using 0777. I can’t makes edits to the data. Where do I enter this code? I’m using Bluehost if that helps explains things.
thanks for sharing, cool gallery
simple question but can’t figure it out…. what code do I use if I want to add this gallery in my header.php file? Not the shortcode right?
I have installed the plugin but what do I put in the Text Box of the New Page to make it connect? Before all I had to do was add the name of the plugin between brackets. I can see that the plugin is installed but when I click on the Gallery from the Home page, it goes to a Comments page as if it does not know where to find the Gallery. Please help!!!!
[...] Photos I’ve taken over the years. This gallery is a plugin called DD Simple Photo Gallery. [...]
hi, sorry for late reply, I am too much busy with other stuff yet. Thank you everyone for your feedback.
@joanne, @sanna ordering issue has been fixed on wp repository.
@0777 issue please google about file permission 0777
@thumb image blank box, I am not sure why it is happening, it is better if you can give me the link of your gallery.
@next / prev buttons, may be it is conflicting with other plugins, try after deactivating other gallery plugins
Thanks again everybody!
hi, i have a proble, in my gallery pic do not show, I see just blank box?
I added images to one of the galleries and when i created a new gallery for a different page, none of the photos show up after i upload them

Thanks for using our plugin. Keep in touch to know about update version.
Can you make different size galleries for other galleries?

I love the simplicity! One question: I’ve pictures standing up and landscape, but I can’t get them so that they al show well. I’ve to make them with big borders so they look wright… or is there a better way to do this.
Hi all working well, would like to know if there is a way to stop author and editor users from being abe to delete other users’ gallery from dashboard?
ie Stuff in Media library is set to View only, but galleries can be deleted. cheers
Your plugin is great… Simple and effective. But i want the images to display in another way: in rows and columns. with caption and descritpion.
Can you help me change the layout of the Gallery.
I’ve been searching for a photo gallery that would work with my xs wordpress based website. But everyone I’ve tried has caused the nivo slider at the top of my homepage to freeze. Is DD simple wordpress gallery work with nivo-slider?
Wait for a while, very soon we are coming with s3gallery which you can a ally of nivo-slider on our next updated version. So you can update it. I will notify you when it has a demo link or live download link.
where do i put the gallery..im new to this..if you could specify the way to use it..i cant understand how to use this..pls help…
First create a gallery then add some photos under that gallery. Then copy the gallery code from gallery listing page and add it on page or post.
i can’t even find that directory – under wp-content\plugins\dd-simple-photo-gallery\ i only have admin, css, and js folders. too bad, it looked like a perfect plugin
Those folders were not in my install either, so I created them, set the permissions to 0777, and still received the same error code (File upload error no: 6)
If you have any good info I would apprecate an e-mail thx, Van
Hi, I’ve using the gallery for a while and it was working just great. Today, I upgraded to the new version. Now the gallery doesn’t work. First the links to the image broken and I couldn’t find them. So I created a new gallery, resized all the images to 575×575 and added them images again. The images still don’t show up. Only one image shows up in the slideshow…. the thumbnails show up. Also, I was trying to check the cache premissions but there is no cache folder in the gallery plugin folder. This is a link to the gallery… http://www.sadeqajohnson.com/photos/
Thanks for your help.
Copy the gallery code from gallery listing page. I’m not sure what you mean by this instruction. Please explain so I can upload my gallery.
Have installed ver 1.1 on WP ver 3.3.1 and found several bugs.
One must upload a blank or transparent gif file in order to fix the absent large images that some have noted earlier.
If you upload an image that is the same size the specified maximum size, it will not appear. You must use a larger image ( have not tested a smaller image).
The cache directory as well as its parent (include) does not exist.
VERY slow page load. No image pre-load perhaps?
I can’t seem to get it to place where I put it in the post. It always goes to the top and centered is there anyway to change this?
I cannot upload, receiving File upload error no: 6
van@cottom.org
got the gallery up, the thumbnails are showing and moving, but the main viewer is blank.
Please try to submit the default setting. That means go to default settings page and click on save changes after changing any value or not after changing any fields value.
[...] namanya DD Simple Photo Gallery betul-betul simple untuk mengoperasikannya. Mulai dari menginstall, pembuatan gallery, upload foto [...]

Hi! Is there a way to upload more than 1 photo at a time?
Thanks!!
Your plugin works pretty well. But how to I position the gallery after the content of the page. It automatically appears at the top, and I would like it at the bottom of the page. Help!
This plugin has a conflict with Shareholic (SexyBookmarks) version 6.0.0.3 in version 3.4.2 of WordPress. It causes the SexyBookmark buttons not to show up under blog posts. It also randomly reset some of the default settings on our blog and stopped scrolling the display photos.
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/gbutiri/public_html/butirishome.com/wp-includes/class-wp-image-editor-imagick.php on line 126
I’d like to know if you can solve this. I’ve tried changing the number to a constant of 300 on line 123.
@ini_set( ‘memory_limit’, apply_filters( ‘image_memory_limit’, WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT ) );
Still nothing. Still gives error. I followed your instructions on how to set it up:
finally please check the directory “cache” file write permission wp-content\plugins\dd-simple-photo-gallery\include\cache is it writable or not? make this “cache” folder write permission 0777
But, there was no folder called include/cache under the plugin folder.
Can you please help as I cannot save any of the settings? Thanks! Great plugin otherwise.
Hello, I want to put only a kind of effect but it appears as random by default. What kind of effect I can put in this field? Thanks!
You’re plug-in seems to create a fault with our slider function (using the Swager theme) on a self hosed Word Press site. Any suggestions?
Hi there to every one, the contents present at this web page are
really awesome for people experience, well, keep up the nice work fellows.
Hello.
I’ve been using the plugin for quite some time now and it’s really simple to use, which I like. But when I installed it to my latest WP site, the thumbnails on the gallery page are not showing.
The url is: http://twotenphotography.com/new/?page_id=10
Any suggestions how to fix this? It’s urgent!
Regards.
Try with updating and saving the settings of global gallery plugins.
do you mean the plugin settings? when i try to save any changes the page just goes blank.
also i noticed that you mention there’s a cache folder in the plugin’s directory, but there is none.
Actually the cache folder is now useless, I forgot to remove it from the instruction of the plugins on wp repository.
When you save the settings It will try to create the thumb photos if it is not exist on server, It seems for you photo the 80×80 thumb is not available that’s why you should try by saving the settings.
okay, i’ve tried setting the thumb photo size to 40×40 and the large photo size to 978×737 (the photo’s dimensions) and still nothing. when i set the same settings to a different wordpress site it works fine. i probably don’t understand it completely.
are there specific proportions between the thumb photo and the large photo?
your help is really appreciated.
