Topic: Embedded gallery has spinning wheel when uploaded

Everything worked fine when I embedded the gallery into my web page in Dreamweaver. When I tested it in Firefox and Safari it worked fine. I uploaded all the files to my website, and now the gallery just has the spinning wheel, and the thumbnails are all grayed out. I would think this was a linking problem, but everything seems to be fine.

Re: Embedded gallery has spinning wheel when uploaded

It sounds like the problem might be with the paths to your images.
Please check that your image and thumbnail files have been uploaded to the correct location on your web server and make sure that the imageURL and thumbURL entries in your gallery's XML file point correctly to the images.

Please also see this FAQ:
My images show locally, but not when I upload them to my website. Why?

Another possible cause of your problem might be with permissions. Please check that the permissions on the image and thumbnail files (and on the 'images' and 'thumbs' folders) are not too restrictive. Default permissions of 755 for folders and 644 for files should work fine.
You can check permissions on files and folders on your web server with an FTP program such as Filezilla or by using the File Manager within your web hosting account's online cPanel.

I hope these suggestions help.
However, if you continue to experience difficulties, then please post (or email me) the URL to your gallery's web page so that I can take a look at the problem for myself and hopefully help further.
Thank you.
