This weekend we released a major update for anyone that has been having issues with the NextGEN importer after their update to NextGEN v2 or higher. Included in our update we: – Fixed the issue with not recognizing the newer version NextGEN Gallery plugin – Fixed the issue with NextGEN Gallery changes causing NextGEN Importer to not function properly – Removed the caption field from being used in the title

Over the weekend we pushed out version 1.4 of MaxGalleria, which includes one major piece of new functionality – an image carousel template. This new template compliments our other templates nicely and we think customers will enjoy it.

Shortly after we released MaxGalleria 1.3, a customer reported a couple issues with one of their galleries, namely that the captions were displaying as dark text on the dark background (text should be white by default) and that a couple images that had longer captions were breaking the grid layout for the thumbnails.

We just released version 1.3 of MaxGalleria, which includes one important fix and some additional options for the WordPress Image Showcase template. Fix for Missing Image Guid Earlier today it was brought to our attention that thumbnails in the admin for image galleries weren’t showing up. In debugging the issue we found that this was happening only when adding existing images to the gallery from the WordPress media library; the thumbnails

Earlier today we released version 1.2 of MaxGalleria, our responsive image and video gallery plugin for WordPress; customers should be seeing the update notice in their WordPress admin anytime now.

Since we launched MaxGalleria two weeks ago one of the more commonly asked questions we’ve received has been, “This looks great, but how does it fare with the new media changes in WordPress 3.5?”. The primary reason for this question is this post on the Make WordPress blog that shows early wireframes of what the proposed media upload and workflow might look like in WordPress 3.5. And since that post

Over on our Max Foundry blog we wrote about how supporting localization is a must when releasing WordPress themes and plugins to the world. Localization is obviously very important for us with MaxGalleria because it allows us to greatly expand our reach. Naturally, we want as many people across the world to use MaxGalleria, and we can’t do that by limiting the plugin to just English-speaking customers.

Since the launch of MaxGalleria last week, we’ve gotten some great feedback from customers and naturally a couple issues that needed fixing as well. Two of these issues, misaligned image tiles and Vimeo URLs not embedding properly, have been fixed in MaxGalleria 1.1 and is now available for immediate download from your WordPress admin panel.

If you follow us and/or Smashing Magazine on Twitter, you might have seen that Smashing was doing a Twitter giveaway contest for 3 copies of MaxGalleria – Ultimate edition. It went out on Friday and ran all weekend, where people had to tweet about why they want MaxGalleria with the hashtag #smmaxgal.
