Not sure why you'd have to switch back to 2.7. WP 2.8 has some nice features if you can get it running. The Admin pages are certainly faster. I used to dread editing a post or page, it was so slow to load. Over the next month or so, I plan to release some widgets, including one that will let you do what you're suggesting. But it's likely to be several weeks out before I get to that. If you're a PHP coder, then you could probably whip one up without too much trouble. I believe that the field in the wp_bwbps_images table is created_date.... so your SQL could order by that field in descending order. Be sure that you call only images with a status > 0, so you don't get any that are in moderation. If you can wait, this is on the drawing boards. Let me know if you hit any other snags. Byron Duane,

I dumped wp 2.8 and changed back to 2.7. I up my max image upload to 10m and turned safe mode off. I had to set permissions to 777 on the plugin to work also. Have you experimented with any code to insert images from a gallery in the sidebar? I was thinking about trying to put the 6 - 8 most recent images in the sidebar. Do you have any suggestions on how to handle this? I’ve experimented and seem to have it working properly now. I dumped wp 2.8 and changed back to 2.7.

I noted that you had tried out NextGen Gallery. Were you able to get it to upload? If so, then it should be possible to get PhotoSmash to upload if you still want to try to get it going. If so, shoot me an email at byron at whypad.com, and I'll be glad to work with you. Cheers, Byron Duane,

You should be able to see it with an FTP client provided you have the proper permissions to view the folder. That is strange. BB Hi Geneve,

Only problem I'm having is that I'd love to tweak the css file but.. I can't find it. Granted I've been staring at the computer way too long working on this already, but I've looked well.. everywhere. It's in the file I downloaded, but once it was uploaded to yahoo (my host) it vanished. I tried uploading it by itself, it said the upload was successful, but it isn't there. I feel like I'm going crazy. x_x Hi there, I’m in the process of working on a website and this plugin is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for – which is awesome.

URL works for 777 but not 755. 755 gives a success message but the image is not imported only the caption. Let me know if you have other questions. Bryon,

Upload does not work under any circumstance.

URL works for 777 but not 755. 755 gives a success message but the image is not imported only the caption.

Let me know if you have other questions.

I think you indicated such in your post, but wanted to make sure. My understanding is that the URL works for you with 755 and 777, but that Browse isn't working for 755, but does work for 777. PhotoSmash is over most of the upload problems in the comments above. Most of the problems that we see now are due to Web Hosts that restrict uploads for 755 and they only work for 777. The other problem we sometimes see is when the database is not properly updated, but the symptoms you're referencing don't seem like that. If you can confirm that the upload is working for 777, that would indicate most likely a restriction by your Web Host. Byron Hi Duane,

I have looked through every post here and google my issue but have not found the solution. I have created a new blog and I am trying to get Photosmash to work properly. You can see the install at http://blog.estonish.com/?page_id=3 . I am only able to get images to load via url. I have tried to upload several images from my hard drive without success.

It does upload the image if the permission is 777. All images are less than 400K. Can someone help me fix this?
