      Yes, but you have to either:
      – change the code in templates/simple/gallery.php,
      – create a new template by copying the ‘simple’ template and change the code,
      – or change the width/height of ‘medium’ image size in WordPress

      the code that needs to be adjusted is on line 4:
      ‘$intermediate_size = wp_get_attachment_image_src($attachment->ID, “medium”);’

      try changing “medium” to “large” or some other WP size.

      No need for any other plugin, that should work :)

      Can you send me a link to an example page where this does not work?

    Hi!

    With this plugin activated, there’s a box shown in the custom-menu preferences dialog of WP3 that allows you to add media tags to the menu, just like regular categories and tags for posts. However, at first sight there doesn’t seem to be a possibility to make a gallery on the fly that shows all media tagged with that tag. I’d find that very useful. So is there something I’ve missed, or is there an easy way I could hack together a template that automatically shows all media for a certain tag using the default gallery layout?

    Kind regards
    CB

      Also, in /includes/attachment.php, line 98 onward, the width and height of the replacement icons shouldn’t be hardcoded if the user is supposed to be allowed to customize them – I’ve tried using icons that are 60×60 and wondered why they’d get squeezed to 46×60 although WordPress itself doesn’t do that in other contexts except File Gallery.

    Hi It’s a very cool plugin but have a question I want to set captions in gallery but using file name by default in all of them is that possible? I have in my blog more than 2000 images too many captions :S

    Thank you

    I’m attempting the “simple” template, but don’t see the option. I’m a total noob to all of this, I’m sure I’m looking right past it!?

    Hi again! I’ve already found the solution. I was played with the z-indexes a bit. Thanks for this excellent work!

    Hi!
    I love this plugin, but I’m having a major problem. It allows me to select the images I want for each gallery via the checkbox, but it actually publishes ALL the available images into the gallery – not excluding the ones I don’t want in it. What’s going on?
