WP Showroom
September 17th, 2009 by naabsterCurrent Version: v0.1b2
The old version of this gallery, ANIga, does not work with the latest Version of Wordpress. Also it was not really that great – so I wrote a new gallery plugin based on it: WPshowroom.
You can see it working here on this site!
I didn’t submit this plugin to the Wordpress Plugin Repository yet – so YOU can be a beta tester!
Main Features:
- Picture Gallery completely integrated in Wordpress
- Group your pictures in Albums and an unlimited level of Child-Albums
- Allow your visitors to comment on every picture
- Restrict access to Albums and Pictures based on Wordpress Userlevels / Capatibilites
- Support for EXIF information
- Order Albums like you want
- Display a picture caption for each pic
- Easy prev / next navigation for pictures
- Completely configurable Layout (example theme files for the default Wordpress Theme included)
- Easy flash based Upload
- Configure unlimited thumbnail / picture sizes – you can display your pictures in all sizes you like
- Remake thumbnails for existing pictures if you need another size
- Manage Pictures and Albums one by one or in batch
- Nice Permalinks for everything
- Widgets: random pictures, latest comments (for the whole blog, but with adjusted links for picture comments), latest galleries, …
- Deinstall script – completely remove WPshowroom from your Database :(
Whats still missing (planned or in development):
- Tags
- Paged thumbnail display
- Watermarks for thumbnails
- Slideshow
- More JS / Ajax stuff – sort pictures and albums even better
- Support for all kinds of lightboxes
- Zip File upload
- Support for PHP4 – probably not :)
- More Themes
- Multi-language support
- Better Usermanagement: A gallery for every Wordpress User of your blog?
- Picture rating
- Whatever you like and I am able to code! I am looking forward to hear your feedback!
What you need:
- Up-to-date version of Wordpress (2.8+)
- PHP5 (if you’re still running PHP4 or less: PHP6 is almost here, go and upgrade to PHP5 already, lazy you!)
- GD Library
- gettext support for EXIF information
- Ability to give folders write-access (should be no problem if you managed to install wordpress)
- Basic Wordpress-theming ability to adjust the look to your theme (but the default should work with most Themes)
- Pictures…
How to install:
- It is always wise to make backups of your files and your database!
- Download and de-zip the plugin.
- You’ll see the basic Wordpress structure. Copy the folders to the appropriate location on your webserver:
“WPshowroom” goes in your plugin directory
the stuff in “themes/default” goes in your default theme directory (if you are not using the default theme copy it to your current theme directory) - Make the “gallery” folder (and its subfolders) in the “WPshowroom” plugin folder writable by the webserver (CHMOD 777)
- Acitvate the plugin in Wordpress.
- Thats it. Grab a beer.
What now?
- You will see a new menu in your Wordpress dashboard called “WPshowroom” – thats where all the action is.
- Use the Settings page to adjust your settings.
- There is already a sample Album – edit or delete it.
- Upload some pictures and follow the steps there. The first step lets you upload pictures from your disk. On the second step you need to assign the uploaded pictures to an album. The third step finally makes all the thumbnails.
- Look at your blog: You’ll see a new page – this is where your new gallery is located
- Adjust the theme files to your needs.
- Activate the new widgets if you need them. If you use the Default latest comments Widget you should use the new one to get proper links to the picture comments.
- There are sample htaccess files in the gallery folder – I would recommend using them if you want to protect your pictures. If you want to relocate the gallery folder, you have to adjust the new path settings on the Options page.
- Ask here if you are stuck.
Download & History:
- Nov 13, 2009 - WPshowroom v0.1b2
Permalink Bug fixed
Ajax, Post Access Denied Bug fixed - Sep 17, 2009 – WPshowroom v0.1b1
initial beta release.
I cannot get the uploader to work. It’d be a lot easier if it could find my pictures in my gallery, since it asks for the path anyway. It says to use java and flash — I’ve got both plugins installed already. I don’t need to add it to my website too do I?!?
Woohoo, update! Where’s the “Donate!” button? :)
Does the successor migrate data from ANIga, or will you pretty much have to start from scratch? We’ve got quite a bit of stuff already in ANIga and would hate to lose it.
I keep getting the following error when trying to active the plugin. Help!
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘&’, expecting T_VARIABLE or ‘$’ in /xxxxxxxxxxxx/public_html/xxxxx/wp-content/plugins/WPshowroom/wpsr.php on line 223
+ Installation process was easy and nice!
+ Nice Settings page!
o Picture upload could be easier. If the album already exists it would be nice if i can add images directly instead of going through the 3-steps-adding-processs.
- Album cover changing is not possible? Can just remove it?
- Clicking on the [^] redirects me to a wrong page: Page Not Found
Also trying: index.php/wpshowroom/ doesn’t work at all ;(.
Hope somebody can help me.
Anyway NICE PROJECT! Keep going!
Cheers JK
Hi! Love your plugin, but i was wonder one thing! Is it possible to use the pitures in posts?? If i add a pic in a galleri, i maby want to show it in a post you know.
Hello,
i keep getting an error in the admin panel, when i get to the upload screen, it keeps giving me this error:
Warning: require_once(/home/ro0100/public_html/home/wp-content/plugins/WPshowroom/../../../wp-content/plugins/home/site/public_html/home/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/settings.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/site/public_html/home/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/wp-contact-form-7.php on line 67
And then I tried changing the ABSPATH in the source code, because it obviously confilcts with another plugin, and it gives me an INTERNAL SERVER ERROR #500
Hi,
The plugin seems great – everything I’m looking for! The only problem comes when I try to upload something. It consistently fails and says “Server returned HTTP-Status #403″ (and yes, I checked that everything was CHMODed to 777). Any ideas what I’m doing wrong? I’d be eternally grateful!!
Hello I install WPShowromm and it works very well! But I can not display the album (on the index page) in 2 columns like on your gallery! So I can not cover a standard background of my blog on this page. Do you support has to offer me?
example here : http://www.nativedzgn.com/blog/?page_id=12
Hi!
Thanks for your plugin, it’s exactly what i need.
I have a problem in photo comments. When i comment in a photo, i get an error:
“Error: Bad ID. Album not found!”
And the comment is writed in the album root.
My url is:
http://www.antonioorozco.com/galeria
Thank you very much for your work!
Hello, I install this WPShowroom on a Windows Server with IIS and Wordpress but when I click on the admin link “WPShowroom” I have a FastCGI error, someone can help me?

I’ve got 30 images i uploaded and am trying to insert into the album. I click step 3, and then ‘Click here to start’, and it doesn’t generate the thumb nails or insert the photos. I’ve done this 3 times, and waited more than 2 hours for each.
Need help please
Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Widget’ not found in /var/www/vhosts/www.xxxxxxx.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/WPshowroom/wpsr.widgets.php on line 17
i think it would be nice to have an option to automatically assign image’s name as a caption.

hello!
i uploaded several albums and everything was really smooth, but “back to album” link works on none of them.
“Error: Bad ID. Album not found!”
maybe it’s some banal css problem but i can’t help myself.
thanks
I would like to use this gallery, but is there a way you can integrate the option for google adsense withing the slideshow?
I seem to be able to create albums, but when I go to upload pictures I get 2 errors within the WP Showroom plugin..
Warning: Upload Directory not writable. Check your permissions!
Warning: Temporary upload Directory not writable. Check your permissions!
I have set the permissions listed in your install instructions..
the gallery folder is 777 along with cache and original under it.
aslo the uploads folder is also 777 for the main site uploads folder.
am I missing something that is not described in the instructions? screen shot can be found at http://winningyourwellnessback.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/image001.jpg
This plug-in is incredible. Easily the best picture gallery plug-in I have found. Just wanted to let you know to keep up the good work. Also, email me a link to a donate button. I would love to support this.
hi man, I’d LOVE your new plugin.
I’ve been using the aNiga and really sad that it’s not working with the new wordpress version.
So, I try to install WP Showroom, everything is already according to instructions,
but when I try to activate the plugins, it says:
Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Widget’ not found in /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/WPshowroom/wpsr.widgets.php on line 17
ANy idea why this happen?3
thanks and keep it up!
Greetings,
I just love your plugin. I installed it pretty easy and it works very well. There’s one problem I have. When I upload an album and view it in my gallery, I get an error when clicking on the thumbnail of the photo which is active. The error is Error: Bad ID. Album not found!
Thanx for any reply given and if you need a betatester, just give me an e-mail.
Again, thanks for this great plugin.
Hi there, this is a great plug-in, but I’m having some issues uploading photos. I’ve successfully added a number of albums but now when I try to upload new photos I get the following error:
Could not move uploaded file! #null
It seems to do one or two photos from a list of about 10 – 15 and then all the remaining photos get this error.
Any ideas what it could be and how I go about fixing it?
i cant intergate my theme with wpshowroom theme.. i have copied the default theme to every conner even WpShowrm in default folder.. but it still says no theme found. what can i do. It works when i change my theme to default and not the theme that i want.. please help
Hello! Great Plugin! But can i add photos from my flickr account as “embed”? Is there a fast way to add to my wordpress blog the hundreds of photos i have on my flickr account with this plugin?
I try to made a new album but there was an error. Bcz I can’t select the Parent Album. Bcz there isnt any one. Can you help me. (pls send an email)
I installed following step by step your instructions, but the “wpshowroom/example-album/” does not exist, and so I cannot see any image. On the other side the admin area seems to work perfectly, I can add photos, manage album ad all the other stuff, but I can not see them!
how can I display randome pictures in my sidebar like you?
Hi!
Wonderful plugin, though I cant really get it to work.
The upload works great, but I cant see my photos.
If I look at the source code, it searches for images here:
http://www.svelan.se/_sites/sverresverredal_se/wp-content/gallery/109102713/20091019_1577_redigerade_(800_x_600).jpg
But what does it take 440×310_ncw from?
The image is placed here on the server: http://www.svelan.se/_sites/sverresverredal_se/wp-content/gallery/original/109102713/20091019_1577_redigerade_%28800_x_600%29.jpg
The strange thing is that it started to work when I first installed it, but when I deleted some of the Thumbnail sizes in the settings panel, it stopped working.
Alsom, when it was working, the images displayed was very tiny?
Best Regards Patrik
Reinstalled it and got it to work, but the images showing are really small… Any idea how I show it larger?
http://www.svelan.se/_sites/sverresverredal_se/?page_id=31
Also, how do I get the Random photo thumbnails in the widget to show be displayed in a 3×3 array, instead of 1×6 as it is now?
great plugin! …but, why can I see galleries only when I am logged in???
thanks
-sorry for my english-
supergiù
it is great plugin!
my question is i want change the size of the images.
i played with thumbnail option and regenerate thumbs but no luck so far. i wanna size like http://faild.de/photography/marcus-niki-fahren-nach-berlin/show/6452/
thanks in advance
Hey, did you get my email? You didn’t reply back.
The idea behind this mod is pretty good for folks (like me) who want to add lots of images to a blog. Good stuff.
Got a bug report tho: there seems to be an incompatibility with the redirection plugin I use {wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/}. I’m getting the below errors on almost any page that edits
—-quote—
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/xxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/WPshowroom/request.ajax.php:1) in /home/xxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/redirection/ajax.php on line 23

Once suggestion: I would like to be able to upload via FTP a _load_ of images and then process them. By the look of it this is not possible at the moment. If not, can you add it to the wish list?
Ok I know you said to edit the CSS but how/where do you edit the main picture size? I have a very narrow layout and the picture goes off the sides of it! Also I cant find where I would adjust the width of the box that holds the albums? (http://societysmosthated.com/?page_id=45) because the “(11 pictures)” gets cut-off….. the browser Im using/have access too wont expand your comment threads so I cant sift through all of your replies to people so if you could e-mail me with some help or point me in the right direction i’d really really apreciate it!
ok i just made my layout bigger to accomodate it haha i cheated. but my widgets are all on one page i foudn the php file i need to edit to get the random imaged to go striaght accross instead of straight down but i dont know what to edit! Also i figured out if i view source to this page i can read the full comments
Hello, first I wanted to congratulate you for the work you did, really nice ! I used WP Showroom on my website and it helps me a lot (the easiest to use).
But I’ve got a question about big pictures. Is it possible to allow people to download the picture or to use right click to save the picture?
Thanks
seems to be a conflict with WP-o-matic on the admin side when uploading pictures. I kept getting the You Need To Activate Javascript And Flash message until I deactivated the WP-o-matic.
anyway around this?
nice plugin !!!
but my problem is, whenever i go to my Showroom URI which is
http://mydomain.com/mygallery
it only show WPShowroom, nothing else
how can i put my album in my gallery page ?
Same problem as “rizaldy” says. Suddenly I only got “WPshowroom” text instead of my gallery when I clicked “Galería”. I guess it’s some king of plugin conflict with this one:
http://picandocodigo.net/programacion/wordpress/list-category-posts-wordpress-plugin-english/
Hope you can help us with this!!
I have a Timeout error #0 when trying to upload images in the gallery, Im not sure why it just says Fail Timeout Error #0. I have uploaded nearly 200 pics. But now i cant. I can find the # 0 in the code but nothing that tells me what wrong there is. Pls what can be wrong? I really adore this plugin.
Sincerly
Mojo
Hello. I tried it locally, it’s a very nice work, thank you for new plugin. But will you make any migration script from previous Aniga? It’s very important for me really because we have a nice and big ‘women photo gallery’ in Aniga and it would be very pity to lose it…
Hello,
I’ve got a big problem… Yesterday, my website was working but today not I don’t know what happened. I’ve got an error :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘&’, expecting T_VARIABLE or ‘$’ in xxx/wp-content/plugins/WPshowroom/wpsr.php on line 223
I can’t change anything, help me please.
Hi!
Really excited about this plugin. One thing though (how many comments start like this!!) –
How do I properly set WP permalinks?
Photos do not show on my blog. All the boxes and so appear, but no photos inside. I can click down into sub-albums, the correct number of boxes appear and so on, but again, no photos inside. I have tried to regenerate thumbnails a few times (I can see them in the gallery folder too) but no display on the page. Any ideas?
Thanks!
getting this error when trying to upload images: Upload failed: Server returned HTTP-Status #500
not sure why this is happening. any help is appreciated.
thanks!
The gallery was functioning perfectly until I changed my hosting to a private server. Now I’m getting the following errors:

How do I fix this??
This is probably a really ridiculous question.. but I am trying to integrate photo galleries on two separate pages for my wordpress based page. I really like the look of your plugin but my web knowledge is severely lacking. If it were to download your plugin, what steps to I need to do before I set up the galleries and upload pages? I’ve tried a few plugins and I feel like I’m missing something really obvious.. any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks.
yeah cool plugin! now it works for me to!
is there a place where i can change the shown image size? because i uploaded 1024px pictures and see only ~ 460×320px pictures??? cheers.
Hi man, how are u? I hope fine. Look, firts I have to say that your
gallery plugin is so amazing, but I have a little question about it:
how do I set the galleries y many columns, because from the settings
panel on my Wordpress dashboard I dont see it.
The second point is that the gallery doesnt keep the template configuration, and to show my galleries, I always have to enter to my dashboard and update the page where it’s inserted. I you can help me, I’ll
really be so so happy. Thanks a lot man!!!
The site where I’m implemented is http://www.greenurbano.com.ar, if you need
to check about what I’m talking about. Thanks again. Cheers!
Come on man! I need you…
Hi, maybe a silly question: I install everthing, upload photos and… where do I see my gallerie? I go to the new page http://www.barrento.com/magazine/?page_id=56 but there is nothing there, should I do something more? Please, help…
Hey guys,
Thanks for your work. It seems to be great, but I currently cant use it…
In the WP Admin Pannel / WPShowroom area, I can access to “Upload Pictures” and to “Settings”.
I can’t access to “WPShowroom” page. Is it normal ? Where can I manage the Albums ??
Thanks for your help
See you,
Paul
PS : I’m using WP 2.8.6, PHP 5.
Great plugin! I installed it, work fine. Just a small problem about the comments area where the avatars hides part of the comment. http://www.barrento.com/magazine/?page_id=71&pid=4#WPshowroom Could you help me? Also can I change the size of the pictures? And can I installed the galleries in two different pages? Thanks
Great plugin! Absolutely love it!
But I’m having issues.
I just moved my blog from DreamHost to a cPanel based server… and now I’m getting errors:
Warning: Upload Directory not writable. Check your permissions!
Warning: Temporary upload Directory not writable. Check your permissions!
the cache and the uploads directory under wp-content directory are chmod’ed to 777
I’ve also tried changing it to 755 also because I know suphp and suexec are enabled on the server.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
I cannot install! Please help. Cannot activate plugin because of fatal error
Cannot redeclare wpsr_flush_rewrite_rules() (previously declared in /home2/teamhaas/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/WPshowroom/wpsr.php:1159) in /home2/teamhaas/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/WPshowroom/wpsr.php on line 1161
any ideas? thank you!
Great plugin, but how can I do visitors can see original size and I change information (Picture Info size, focal lenght…) and add extra info.
Thanks!
Hey,
is there a way to display the gallery in an article that i want?
Is there a way to not show WPShowroom as page?
I hope you will implement these features.
Best regards.
installed. on the upload pictures section it states “please activate Javascript and Flash. Both are enabled… I have downgraded to Flash 9, reinstalled the swfupload folder…nothing is working…. any ideas?
I was having issues, so I went to reinstall. I manually deleted the tables, and removed the entire plugin. The I reuploaded and reactivated the plugin, but can’t get the tables to regenerate. I can’t force inc.install.php to run for some reason.
I can’t figure this out, any ideas?
It seems that I’ve run into a problem. I’ve activated the plug-in and can select pictures to upload. But on step 3, it seems to get stuck generating thumbnails. It just stays are “working….” and never completes. Any ideas? (FYI: I’m on the latest Apache, PHP, MySQL windows 64-bit versions)
I was able to figure out the permission issue I was having earlier but I still need some help, I hope you can point me in the right direction.
So this is my index using a Wordpress theme:
http://three-oh.com/
Now this is my gallery:
http://three-oh.com/wpshowroom/
I didn’t modify any CSS or anything so I’m not sure why it is not respecting the template’s styling.
The URL is also using “photography” in the title. Do I need to edit the PHP files to correct this?
WOW!
What an excellent piece of work.
You truly rock.
Thanks!
I’m also having problems where it just hangs on “working” on generating thumbnails and never does anything. Do we have a solution for this yet?
Nic plugin, just started to use it.
I have one feature request: I would like to be able to assign one picture to multiple albums, without upoading the same pic for every album.
Hello
How to give access to the WP Showroom administration for the editors and autors of WP ?

Hi there, is there any way to put the sidebar? It is a really good Plugin but since I can’t put the sidebar is not useful at all for me :(
I recently added you app to a website. When I go through the upload I get to step three and it just sits there. I have let it just for about an hour and still nothing. I have given the gallery section full read/write access.
I would like to know how to set the size of the image pages, they’re too small
hi nice plugin. I am argentinian sorry for mi english. I like this plugin support images from external hosting for example imageshack tynipic etc.
Thanks!
Naabster, Is there any way to put the wpSidebar next to the images? Is such a great plugin But I need this feature to add to a website
I’m usin 2.8.6 and there are lots of bugs, and it conflicts with other widgets (contact form 7) which are obviously not related. Do i have to update to 2.9.1 to get it working?
The Comment-each-single-photo feature is exactly what i urgently need! Does anyone know another plugin with this feature?
i’m so excited about your plugin. congratulations on its success. I am a testimony to how well your instructions were and how easily I was able to get it up and running. I do have a few questions in the details: 1: I can not get an image to generate for my albums. i read through all your comments here to find a solution and i see where you say to edit the album, but i still do not have the option to change or give an image for the album cover. 2: i would like to have my random image widget with 3 columns as you have yours. can you tell how how i can change mine? everything else i’ve been able to fix either on my own or from here (which doesn’t say anything about me, but rather how well you developed this plug-in) thank you!
Anyone have this working with Godaddy? Every time I change anything in the settings of this plugin it starts adding more ‘\’ in my absolute paths to the folders.
I get this:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘&’, expecting T_VARIABLE or ‘$’ in /hsphere/local/home/dadzobak/electriccarsreport.com/wp-content/plugins/WPshowroom/wpsr.php on line 228
A long time ago, I installed version 0.3 of ANIga gallery. It did not meet my needs at the time, so I disabled the plugin and deleted the associated files from my site. The problem I now have is that there are ANIga associated table in my database. Is there a way to remove them? (Please keep in mind that I am less than a novice when it comes to MySQL.) Thanks.
still waiting to see hoe to make my random images 9 cubes like yours; please respond and advise how to
I am having the same problem as some others that have posted. The upload process stalls at stage 3 when generating thumbnails. all filenames are basic with no special characters and are jpg format.
i am using the latest cpanel server with all latest versions of php5, apache, mysql and (for what i can tell) GD libraries. I think the problem might be related to the GD library though, just not sure how.
I’m getting a problem with uploading. It says that flash or javascript is disabled but both are working fine on other websites (facebooks uploader is fine, for example).
Hello again,
i have moved my server to another and everything works fine except the WP Showroom plugin which gives me “Error: WP-ID does not match!” in the theme implementation that i have. Could you please clear this as i have no idea what this is from!
Thank you and best regards!
