    Hi
    I was wondering if you have an extended code to the buy now button. What if the customer wants to buy several photos. Every time he clicks on the buy now button it takes him directly to Paypal. Do you have an option for a cart where he can add purchased products to?

    Regards
    Peter

      @Peter, currently it only works with a Buy button. However, You can try a shopping cart plugin like WP eStore which offers “Add to Cart” checkout functionality with NextGEN Gallery. Alternatively, you can also try the WP Photo Seller plugin which was developed specifically for selling photos in WordPress.

    Enter the [nggallery id=”1″ template=”ngsellphoto”] where ???? DUH!

    Am just a little fed up of people putting 85% of Instructions up online. If my Tuska surf were like that I would sell nothing.

      @David, You enter the shortcode where you want to show the gallery (example: post/page).

    How does the customer get the image after paying? Is this manually done by me after payment?

  6. scottkeller66 says

    One other thing I notice is I have the watermark turned on with the gallery but it doesn’t show on my sale page so how can I watermark my photos?

    Reply
    • wpguide says

      @scottkeller66, You will have to manually send it at the moment.

      Does this watermark feature comes with the core NextGen Gallery plugin?

      Reply
      • scottkeller66 says

        Yes the watermark comes with the gallery. But if I have to manually send the image then I will have to move onto another plugin. I was hoping this would work as almost all my customers use the gallery.

        Thanks
        Scott

          I will investigate the code to see why watermark is not working. Have you checked the WP Photo Seller plugin? It seems to be getting good reviews from users.

    Hi,
    Does NextGEN Gallery Sell Photo Plugin send the photo’s automatically or do I have to send the photo myself.
    Please can you let me know either way as I am an absolute beginner at this.

    Many Thanks

    Is there a way of putting comments under the image then the buy now button underneath.
    I have competitors numbers in my gallery in the caption box and I want to display this between my image and the buy now button.

    Many Thanks

    Hi. When I apply this plug-in to a NextGen Gallery page, the images appear on the new page scattered randomly, instead of a nice grid (see www.rickhall.co.uk > For Sale > Original Harmonographs). What am I doing wrong?

    Reply
    • wpguide says

      @rickhall66, Can you please copy and paste the exact shortcode you are using? Please also make sure that it’s not formatted. You can switch to “text” editor check it.

        Hi, thanks for your quick response. This is the code:
        Visual view: [nggallery id=”5″ template=”ngsellphoto”]
        Text view: [nggallery id="5" template="ngsellphoto"]

        Reply
        • wpguide says

          @rickhall66, Thanks. Please make sure that the shortcode is not in a pre or code element. It needs to be in plain text (even in text view).

          Reply
          • rickhall66 says

            Hi. The code appeared in text view like this:

            [nggallery id=”5″ template=”ngsellphoto”]

            I deleted everything before & after the […] and it got better, though still not a thumbnail grid (it now appears as 2 columns with spaces in the second column). I don’t know code well, just did this on a whim – it seems that the code is not arranging the page properly.

    Hi,
    Can i sell Photo Gallery instead of individual photo with this plugin ? Or if someone know any other way to sell Photo Gallery in wordpress please let me know.
    Thanks

    • wpguide says

      @jagrati, At the moment the customer will have to individually buy each photo.

    I get a “Invalid template” error when I try to use your shortcode.

    Reply
    • wpguide says

      @Jared, It seems to be working fine for me. Please make sure that,
      1) You have the latest version of both NextGEN Gallery plugin and NextGEN Sell Photo plugin
      2) The shortcode does not contain any hidden formatted characters (you can switch to text editor to check it)
      3) A gallery with that ID actually exists in the NextGEN Gallery plugin. For example: If you are using this shortcode,
      [nggallery id="1" template="ngsellphoto"]
      NextGEN Gallery needs to have a gallery whose ID is 1. If you have a gallery whose id is 5, you will need to replace 1 with 5 in the shortcode. For example:
      [nggallery id="5" template="ngsellphoto"]

    Greetings,
    This looks like a GREAT plugin. Good work. How would I go about having several photo sizes each with a different price? For each of my photos I would like to offer 3-4 sizes of prints IE 8×10,20×16 etc. I need to be able to have a different price for each print size. Is there a special short code I could use for the size/price variations??
    Thanks

    the button apear and work but the option to open the image and saved to the computer remains so why someone eill buy the photo if he stil can get for free ?

      @Leonardo, You can just show the thumbnail images on the front end and send the full resolution image on purchase.

      Reply
      • Leonardo Griebler says

        Assuming I know how to do this, which I do not know, and it would be good to show the full resolution image for customers to see what they are actually buying. And I believe that for anyone who understands code for a function that prevents saving the image would not be asking too much for an image sales plugin would actually be the least expected.
