I am using the NextGEN Gallery plugin, but I am facing a problem. When I add a slideshow, it does not load any images but the image loading icon shows up. Single image placement through this plugin works well. I have the same problem with two other slideshow plugins. Is this problem browser-related or is it some other problem?

What theme are you using? – m0r7if3r Feb 24 '12 at 13:21
Problem is across many themes. on many computers – hari1267 Feb 24 '12 at 13:59
The computer you're using shouldn't affect anything, the browser might, but that's it. What happens if you switch to twentyeleven and disable all plugins but nextgen? – m0r7if3r Feb 24 '12 at 14:27
Do you possibly run more than one slider plugins and/or include jquery sliders at the same time? I had the same issue of slides not showing when I did that. Try disabling all other plugins, check if there are any jquery slider includes in your theme and remove them, then try again :) – Peter Hadorn Sep 27 '12 at 11:07

You need download the imagerotator.swf file. Next upload it to your wp-content/uploads folder. Log into your wp-admin area and go to Gallery/Options. In the options section go to the last tab (I believe it's called slideshow. I haven't used NextGen in a few years so it might be a little different). Look for a section toward the top that says something like imagerotator.swf location, next to it you should see an autolocate button. Press the button and it should find the location and install it.

NOTE:

When you download the imagerotator.swf it will come with several files. You only need the one called imagerotator.swf. The rest can be deleted.

this trick is not working. problem is not only with nextgen gallery but two other slideshow plugins also. – hari1267 Feb 28 '12 at 14:26
