I really like this plugin. It still works with v2.6 which is great. The only conflict I have found so far as I test for photo-gallery-plugin conflicts is that it doesn’t like “Lightbox” or “Lightbox2″. Makes a real mess of things if either are activated.
Do you think you will be updating this any time soon?
Idea: photo caption

[...] think this is a really attractive and super-simple single photo plugin from Sivel.net. The installations and usage details are below the photo [...]

I’m not familiar with php :(

But no problem, it’s still nice widget…Then this could be suggestion…little smaller font with more capitons available would be maybe better.

@BlackyM: It is not that simple. The reason that I have limited it to 8 characters is due to the font size. it would require multiple edits that I’d rather not go into in detail in a comment. If you are familiar with PHP and would like to know more information about this contact me via the contact link at the top of the page.

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

Is there a way to check this? I do not have SSH. Can I see that somewhere or is there a test site for this?

@Egon: This plugin also requires that your web hosting provider allow you to make outbound HTTP connections. Some hosting providers do not allow this. If the plugin cannot download the image using PHP (server side execution) then it will return an error stating that the source url is incorrect or does not exist.

Oh, the code thing didn’t go to well.

The PHPinfo tells me GD is bundled with all enabled and with freetype.

Hi,

I just installed your plugin, and I’m using Wordpress 2.5.

I keep getting “Source URL Incorrect of does not Exist”. But when I click on the picture I get the picture, so it must be correct.

I am using Lightbox JS v2.04 to load the pictures when clicked on.

The server has this GD stuff enabled as far as I can see
