I've been using the 2.2.5 fork of Gallery embedded into WordPress, and while the Gallery itself seems to work very nicely, the uploaders available always seem to be problematic for some reason. Gallery Remote is broken and no longer seems to be supported well for Gallery2. The java applet loader always gives me Imagemagick errors even though it's successfuly installed on my server and my admin menu reports no problems with it. I try the GD backup and it tints all my photos to an ugly green. I tried the Windows XP version and for some reason it brings me to a login screen on my gallery page with no submit button, so I can't login, much less upload photos. I must be asking for too much to have a simple uploader that would allow me to batch resize and upload easily. Are there other solutions out there that I could look into? |

@ GR issues: Both work for me and others. Can you go into more detail of the step syou are taking and the results.
FAQ: What information is required when I ask for help in the forums?
Lots of different methods of adding items:

EDITED: Info no longer needed :-D
I am using WPG2 to embed Gallery into WordPress. I guess the only thing I really want to resolve is getting Gallery Remote to work. When attempting to connect, I get this error:
Server connected, but Gallery not found at this URL (http://www......./gallery_remote2.php)
I have followed the FAQ to name a fake gallery_remote2.php file, but that didn't work. I did notice however that it wasn't creating a GalleryRemote.properties file so I couldn't even try the second option, which was add a line to force it connect to G2 without first trying to check if the Gallery is a G1 installation.
I have noted others reported this error as well in the GR forum, but their questions went ignored, so I didn't bother to post what would have been a redundant report. Those who managed to find a solution did so only by downgrading or completely reinstalling from scratch, neither of which is an option for me.
Thanks for any assistance you can provide!

Does it work in standalone mode?

If I try standalone mode, I get a 404 error. Weird.
I'm going to reinstall Gallery Remote and see if that helps. I'll report any change here.

Ok, I think I found the solution!
I had the embed_only set to true and was using a theme adapted for WordPress. I went back and set embed_only to false again, then changed the theme to the Matrix default, deleted the URLs I was using in GR and re-added the URL to my gallery page again.
Worked perfectly.
Then, I went back and changed the theme to the one I wanted again, set embed_only back to true, and tried to access via Gallery Remote and now it all works as it should.
I guess I was pushing the cart before the horse here, so next time I'll make sure GR works first before making any changes to the Gallery defaults.
Thanks for the assistance! :D
