Remove Show as Slideshow from NextGen gallery

If you are using the brilliant NextGen Gallery WordPress plugin, you may find that an annoying default setting causes ‘Show as Slideshow’  to be seen above images.  To remove this, there’s no code editing required, just do the following:

In the WordPress back end, go to Gallery, Options, Click on the ‘Gallery’ tab at the top.

Untick, ‘Integrate Slideshow’.  Save changes.

That’s it!

They are generally permission based errors and can be resolved by changing permissions (CHMOD) of the following folders to 777:

In wp-content there are 4 folders (plugins, themes, upgrade, uploads).
You can use a decent FTP program for this. I use and recommend the free WINSCP from here:

It’s very stable and supports FTP, SFTP and SCP.
