nextgen integration

[tensor]

I tried a lot of WP templates in the past and all lacks the feature not having any useful integration of the Nextgen image plugin and their portfolio / slider / … features. I currently use the Nextgen viewer or the “Justified Image” plugin to show images at my site. I am a photographer which uses Lightroom and the WP plugin to publish photos, but I cannot use any slider feature from the template.

Wouldn’t it be cool to provide an integration between your template image feature and the Nextgen library?!

Btw: I found out that I cannot use the Nextgen Pro library with your template (buggy behavior). I switched it of and use the basic features from Nextgen.

Hi

great to hear this. I try to use as less plugins as possible. The professional plugin of Nextgen (pro version) isn’t compatible with your template. If I install it, option screens disappear. This is really strange. To ensure stability, the only workaround is to not using it 😉

Hi Harald,

Which plugin(s) are you referring to exactly?

I’ll be happy to check and see if we can support them!

Especially “NextGEN Pro by Photocrati”, “WordPress SEO” and “Jetpack”.

Thanks Harald. I’ll check NextGEN Pro by Photocrati.

Which aspects of WordPress SEO & Jetpack aren’t compatible at the moment?

Hi Ed,

For NG: I tired it for a short time and the first thing I was wondering is, that I have to reload the theme configuration page. No matter what I tries to configure (fonts, header, footer, …).

Same phenomenon for SEO, and especially for Jetpack.

This is more about overall stability. I disabled the plugins and tried to use only your theme and the includes plugins. And, …nearly ten others. Currently everything works fine. No issues. I use the free version of NG, Kyle told me he prefers YAOST, which works fine for me. The only feature I was using from Jetpack was the Performance Module and the Subscription Module. But this was not really working.

At this time I am really glad with my configuration and your support. You can close this issue and let me know how far is the NG integration. I finally would also appreciate if you would maintain a plugin compatibility database for future releases of your theme. That would really be a killer service for all users.

Hi Harald,

Great idea – I’ll see what I can do about a plugin compatibility list, and keep it up to date as we add support.

Thanks, glad you’re happy 🙂
