Apply the auto-update. When you restart Lightroom you will be reminded to remove the .lrdevplugin folder and add the new .lrplugin folder (created by the auto-updater next to the old folder) using Lightroom Plugin Manager.

Very interesting plugin, that I have bought.
I can’t manage to upload direct to an existing gallery. I must first upload to a (dummy)-gallery and then move the files to an existing gallery.
Isn’t there a way to upload direct?
- #2 | Written by Vlad about 12 years ago. Reply
  
  When you use the Export facility you can upload to any existing album or create a new one.
  
  When you use the Publish Services facility, you should import your existing album hierarchy into the publish service you create. To do so, go Library > Plug-in Extras > NextGEN Gallery Export Plug-in Extras and proceed from the there.

Hello,
great work!
But one think i missed. Is there a possibility to reduce the Resolution of the exported Images. I dont need (and dont want) a resolution of 240 – 300 dpi on Webimages. 75 dpi is enough 🙂
- #9 | Written by Vlad about 12 years ago. Reply
  
  DPI for web images makes no effect since you specify image size in pixels. It is only needed when you use inches – then DPI is necessary to specify how many dots (pixels) are in an inch.

A possible special-character-in-userprofile-name-bug?
Using up-to-date versions of Win 7 & Lightroom (both 64 bit) / NL I get an error: Plugin installs fine, but it can't be activated.
Er heeft zich een fout voorgedaan bij het uitvoeren van een van de scripts van de plug-in.
Error loading 'alloyphoto.debug.lua': cannot open C:\Users\Corné\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Modules\NextGenGalleryExport.lrplugin\alloyphoto.debug.lua: No such file or directory
Well, the directory does exist and I do have full admin rights… but I guess the 'é' in the profile's username is causing problems.

Will the pay version export nested albums/galleries from a LR collection? I've got multiple levels, perhaps 3-4 or sometimes more deep. Would be great not to have to do each gallery manually since I've got probably 100 galleries in all.
- #16 | Written by Vlad about 12 years ago. Reply
  
  Uploading nested albums is easy if you use Lightroom’s publish services. Both free and paid versions support publish service (LR 3.3 and above is required), however the free version allows only 10 photos in a single album.
  
  Hope this helps.
#17 | Written by Pete W about 12 years ago. Reply

Awesome, it looks like the publish plugin is what I want. However I'm trying to publish some stuff now and getting the following error:
"Name is already in use"
"An online album with this name already exists, please choose another name."
So what I have is something similar to this
Animals (Album)
-Pets (Album)
–Dogs (Album)
—Golden Retriever (Gallery, exists only in LR not in NextGEN)
I've selected the "Golden Retriever gallery, right mouse and "Publish". I was assuming that the plugin would create the album structure down to the gallery only if needed. If it exists then it would just create the gallery. That's not what seems to be happening, sounds like it is trying to create the whole structure and since the album structure exists in NextGen, it is exiting.
Am I using the publish feature wrong?
- #18 | Written by Vlad about 12 years ago. Reply
  
  Pete, to start with existing galleries, import the album structure into your publish service first. Go Library > Plug-in Extras > NextGEN Gallery Export Plug-in Extras and proceed from there.

  XML-RPC is supposed to be enabled by default since 3.5 update (not disabled). But either way – the plugin doesn't work, it keeps asking to enable the service.
  - #22 | Written by Vlad about 12 years ago. Reply
    
    The 3.5 update broke the XMLRPC interface of the NextGEN Gallery Plugin for WordPress. I went through the PHP code and have determined the following. The NGG plugin relies on the now obsolete “enable_xmlrpc” option, and because it is unable to validate it, the plugin refuses to authenticate remote users. There are two ways to solve this:
    
    1. Wait for Photocrati to release an update for the NGG plugin and restore the compatibility with WordPress 3.5
    
    2. Stay tuned for a code patch, which I am going to post in a few minutes.

I am intersted in using the NextGen Gallery export in Lightroom 4 and I loaded version 1.3.1 Build 1338. When I attempted to connect to my WordPress site, which is version 3.5, I get an error about enabling the XML-RPC in the Writing setting panel. From what I read the remote publishing has changed in WordPress 3.5 and the XML-RPC protocol is enabled by default.
Can someone comment on if I am doing someting incorrect.

Hi

Looks like a great plugin. I'm trying the free version and I am having a couple of issues. Is this because of the free vs. paid version?

1. Not all the keywords appear as tags in the NextGen gallery (in fact, very few – 1 out of 10)

2. The copyright in the metadata comes through with an Â in front of the copyright symbol.

Thanks.
- #26 | Written by Vlad about 12 years ago. Reply
  
  Hi Mike, please keep in mind that only keywords that are “marked for export” will appear as tags.
  
  The issue with the copyright character may have something to do with data encoding. I am going to to run a few tests.
- #27 | Written by Vlad about 12 years ago. Reply
  
  I have just ran a test – the issue with Unicode characters appears to be on WordPress’ side – it does not matter whether the image is uploaded through my plugin or exported as a file to the hard drive and then uploaded using the NGG’s uploader – Unicode characters in metadata become garbled. I am going to let Photocrati know about the issue.

Vlad, thanks for all your hard work on this plug-in, it's great.

The only thing I'm trying to figure out, and maybe it is a NGG thing, is how to browse through all these nicely created hierarchies that the plug-in creates. I know that I can input galliers onto pages or posts, but it doesn't seem like they can be browsed through if I insert an album.

  Hi Pete, thanks so much for your kind words!
  
  As far as I know, you can navigate multiple galleries if you put them inside an album and put a shortcode for the album inside a post (or a page). Here is an example: http://alloyphoto.com/ngg-album-page/ – as you can see there are three galleries that can be navigated to from the album’s root page. Albums can also contain sub-albums. I hope this aswers your question. Perhaps you can post or e-mail me a link to your album page so I can see how it looks like.

Vlad,

I can't get the setup for this plugin to work. I have updated my WordPress to version 3.5.1 and have 1.4 build 1374 of your pluggin. I have my server coded as piedmontphotoclub.com which is my base web site address and the XMLRPC path: as /XMLRPC.PHP. This gives me message "invalid userid or password". If I code the server as piedmontphotoclub.com/wp-admin which is my WordPress logon screen then I receive message "unable to access XMLRPC hander on your server" (probably because the xmlrpc.php is in the base directory). How do I resolve this?

  Hi Jerry, there is an article on the FAQ page about the XMLRPC path. Please see http://alloyphoto.com/plugins/nextgen/nextgen-faq/
  
  Also, make sure to specify the same username and password that you use to access the administrative section of WordPress.

Hi

I purchased this website to upload my lightroom galleries to my wordress, i've just read somwhere else that Next Gen only supports .org not .com wordpress websites. is this true? I haven't been able to upload yet as i keep getting an error saying unable to access XMLRPC on the server address. I've my host looking at it but am thinking thi is all a waste of time

  Not quite so. This plugin will not work with blogs hosted on wordpress.com because they don’t include the NextGEN Gallery Plugin in their environment. Any other environment should be good, as long as the following conditions are met:
  
  you can install WordPress plugins, and specifically the NextGEN Gallery WordPress Plugin
  
  your provider is not blocking the xmlrpc.php script
  
  your provider is not using mod_security in their Apache configuration – when badly configured, the module can block API requests.
  
  you have sufficient memory and post size limits allowed in PHP configuration.

just installed this. When trying yo upload one -1- image, it gives me an error message that the free version doesnt support more than 10 images at a time.
- #36 | Written by Vlad about 12 years ago. Reply
  
  Hi, the limitation of the the free version is 10 images to a single gallery. If you already have over 10 photos in the target gallery you won’t be able to upload even a single image. Try uploading to a new gallery.

Hi Vlad

When I try to configure this I'm getting the error message, 'This plugin requires NextGEN Gallery plugin for WordPress version 1.9.2 and above' but I notice that the latest version on your site is 1.6.1. Can you help?

Many thanks

Hello,

I have been utilizing the plug in for the last year through Lightroom to upload images to my wordpress galleries. I am all of sudden experiencing an Error proessing Server response: Error Domain = NSXMLParserErrorDomain Code-5 UserInfo=0x13906d0 "Line 11: Extra content at the end of the document" I am unable to export into the galleries because of this error. Will you please advise me?

I greatly appreciate any help!

Hi

I would like to know if I can publish a post for each picture I have selected.

For instance, if I have selected 10 pictures, I would like to get 10 posts with one picture on each (and if possible with keywords included in the post tags or at least in the post)

Thanks

Philippe
- #42 | Written by Vlad about 11 years ago. Reply
  
  This is certainly possible. There is an option called “Create individual blog posts for each uploaded photo”. You can also customize to your liking the template for single photo posts.
  Currently keywords cannot be assigned to posts, only to photos. If needed, I can add this feature 🙂
#43 | Written by Bart about 11 years ago. Reply

Is it also posible to edit the Alt & Title Text and Description of the exported photo's? Currentlly the name of the photo is exported to the Title text and Description. It is possible this to be based on LR metadata?

An other question, about the paid version vs the free versio, the text says:

The NextGEN Gallery Export Options and NextGEN Gallery Publish Options sections are unavailable (grayed out).

But the free plugin show only the Gallery Publish Option. Can you tell me what the Export Options are?
- #44 | Written by Vlad about 11 years ago. Reply
  
  Hello Bart,
  Currently the plugin uses the Title and Caption metadata fields to populate the File Name and Description fields, respectively.
  I am planning to add the ability to include other Lightroom metadata fields in a near future.
  
  Export options are available in the Export dialog (File > Export).

    Hi Vlad, Okay, Thank you very much, you really helped me with this. The ability to use all metadata would be a very very nice addition. Thanks for your development-effort! KR, Bart

does this work with nextgen 2.0 yet?
- #47 | Written by Vlad about 11 years ago. Reply
  
  The plugin itself works with NextGEN 2.0. The problem is that NextGEN 2.0.0 has a number of issues – many users can’t upload photos with it. As far as I understand, the Photocrati team is working to resolve these issues as soon as possible.
#48 | Written by Tor Ivan B about 11 years ago. Reply

Hi. I was wondering if it is possible to either turn of sorting, or to add "sort by date" when exporting to Nextgen? Like it is now, I have to log into my NG gallery and change the sorting manually. I need to sort the images by date.
- #49 | Written by Vlad about 11 years ago. Reply
  
  Unfortunately the API offered by NG provides no way to specify the sort order for a gallery. This has to be done through the admin dashboard.
#50 | Written by John about 11 years ago. Reply

Do you support NG gallery Pro or are the functions of Pro only handled in the admin panel?
- #51 | Written by Vlad about 11 years ago. Reply
  
  NG Gallery Pro is supported, however the PRO features need to be handled through the admin panel (due to the limitation of the existing API on the NGG side)

Hi, great plugin. I just installed it, but I can not publish a article (create gallery). Maybe it depends on my theme?

Error message: Beitrag Vorlage benutzt den falschen shortcode Stil! (Post template uses the wrong short code style!)
- #53 | Written by Vlad about 11 years ago. Reply
  
  You are trying to create a new gallery along with a new blog post (the “Create Blog Entry” option), however, the shortcodes that you have in your template do not match the version of the NextGEN Gallery plugin on the server (V1 and V2 use completely different shortcodes). Go back to the settings screen and choose the correct setting and convert / modify your templates.

I publish a bunch of images using the plugin and insert them into posts, various sizes. If I now make some changes to images in Lightroom and re-publish them, what do I need to do to ensure the changes percolate through to the images in posts? Same for twenty fourteen featured images.

thanks.
- #55 | Written by Vlad about 11 years ago. Reply
  
  I believe you don’t need to do anything. Re-publishing (do not confuse with re-exporting) keeps original photo IDs, so all references to these IDs will remain valid.
  - #56 | Written by Kim about 11 years ago. Reply
    
    You're right, partially. It does for images in posts but featured images which head posts in they twentyfourteen theme don't. This has the unfortunate effect of becoming a problem for another plugin I'm using that uses featured images for product thumbs.I'll work around it.
    
    I do appreciate it's beyond your control but WordPress media management is a horrible mess, isn't it.
    
    Thanks for the reply.

  Check your spam folder, that is always the first thing you should do. Considering that you did not respond to the other 2 e-mails I sent you, I am almost certain this is attributed to spam filtering.

Hi,
I was successful in getting xmlrpc to work, but when i clicked on “Log in”, an error message was displayed which says:

“Error processing server response
The server returned error code -32601

Do you have any idea what is wp.getProfile and how do I rectify it?
Thanks!

  Make sure you have WordPress version 3.5 or above (see the Requirements section) on the plugin’s home page.

I am trying to upload blogstyle to my wordpress blog (as Jared Platt showed on his creative live last week) and it keeps saying “we cannot display this gallery” I have purchased the Nextgen Plus plugin and installed it. can you advise please?
- #62 | Written by Vlad about 10 years ago. Reply
  
  Turns out my plugin (3.0.2) is using the wrong shortcode for the “pro blog style” gallery.
  
  Instead of
  
  [ngg_images gallery_ids="{{gallery_id}}" display_type="photocrati-nextgen_pro_blogstyle"]
  
  it needs to be
  
  [ngg_images gallery_ids="{{gallery_id}}" display_type="photocrati-nextgen_pro_blog_gallery"]
  
  I am going to fix this in the next update.
  Meanwhile, you can modify the gallery template to correct the shortcode.

  Hi Oliver,
  Thanks for letting me know. I am sure this is a false alarm, I built and signed the executable myself.
  If you are concerned about the warning you can download the zipped version of the plugin: http://alloyphoto.com/download/NextGenGalleryExport_3.4.1.zip
  You would need to unzip the contents to %APPDATA%\Adobe\Lightroom\Modules\

  I rebuilt the executable using the new certificate. WD should be happy now, please let me know if you are still seeing a trojan warning. Thanks!

NextGEN Gallery provides for 3 data fields for images: Alt & Title Text, Description, and Tags. The plugin only addresses the 1st two. Would it be possible to add the ability to populate the Tags field as well? Google seems to key on the Tags field.

Thanks
- #68 | Written by Vlad about 5 years ago. Reply
  
  Tags are already supported. Keywords are being stamped by LR into exported JPEGs and thus passed on to NextGEN unless your tell Lightroom not to. Check your Metadata settings on export – keywords will be stripped out by LR unless you use one of the three “All …” options.
  - #69 | Written by Bob Weybrecht about 5 years ago. Reply
    
    In the Photo Templates area, I have the ability to choose what metadata is put in the Title and Description areas. What I am asking for is to be able to also select what metadata is put in the Tag area, in the same way as the others. I would prefer not to load it with all the keywords.
    
    Thanks
    - #70 | Written by Vlad about 5 years ago. Reply
      
      Alas, that is not possible. NextGEN does not provide an API method to programmatically control the contents of the Tag field. As I mentioned before, NextGEN uses IPTC keywords from JPEG images.
      I understand you may want to hide some of the private keywords that you don’t want to appear in your published photos. You may want to take a look at Metadata Wrangler – a very powerful post-processing plugin by Jeffrey Friedl, it is capable of keyword filtering. Here is the link: http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/metadata-wrangler With this plugin you will be able to strip out certain keywords from rendered JPEGs before they are uploaded.

Will your plugin support a one way synchronisation from Lightroom to Nextgen or does it support an export functionality.

  The plugin supports export operations, as well as implements a full-featured publish service.
