Hello, I put this in another post but I think it probably belongs here. I'm having trouble getting the photos/documents, etc to all be in a row. I'm also having trouble preventing things from collapsing. I will show both my settings and what happens on the page. Does anyone have suggestions for how I can fix this? Photo settings What I see Collapse settings What I see Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello! This evening I uploaded a new gedom file with 60 persons. I wanted to import both to my main site and to my branch. The import to my main site was ok. But none were imported to the branch. When I upload a new gedcom, what must i do to import the persons also to my branch? I discovered that I can go to each person and and tick him/her to be included in the branch. But this is time consuming. Has anyone an idea what to do? Mvh Svein Erik in Norway

Congratulations, Olivier! Superb website, but what a lot of work! My wife has ancestors in Luxembourg. Who knows ? We may be related. Jean-Luc

My two sites are always a work in progress. Site: The Roy Family Genealogy is my personal one, and the one I use lots of mods on and am constantly trying to make look better. The second isThe Delvee Famly Association. Far fewer mods here, and I am conservative in applying mods. Sailor Rob

I am of course satisfied with my WP - integration (see nepos.be ) because it offers a way to link extended bios (as WP-posts) from and to the TNG data and maybe most of all, because the Gtranslate plugin automatically translates the whole site in most languages (automatically , depending on the language your browser uses). So i can spend my time in writing bios (in French), not in translating them.

I'm gonna delete everything from the grandparents of Leendert Karel. Think something is wrong there, don't know what. Will enter all the persons again and see what the result will be.....

Oké. I wasn't able to check all persons Have you tried another template? Most likely with the same result. Maybe there are some media files or additional code that causes the page to fail to load.

When I try the brother of Leendert Karel I get the same blank result.... https://jhvandenheuvel.nl/getperson.php?personID=I2962&tree=tree1

All your other person pages look fine so it should be something you added to the person itself. Check that to make sure there's nothing odd there. you can get to his page via edit family and then edit his person

Can someone tell me why this page: https://jhvandenheuvel.nl/getperson.php?personID=I3197&tree=tree1 is blank even though this person's information is already filled in? When I search for the person in the admin area, all his information is filled in correctly. This is his family page: https://jhvandenheuvel.nl/familychart.php?personID=I3186&tree=tree1 The page of his wife (Johanna Bernhardina Plankeel) is okay and so are the pages of both of his children. I have deleted the former record of Leendert Karel which also gave a blank page and created a new one but with the same result. When you check out the rest of his family (parents and some brothers and sisters), there a more persons with blank pages. Hope someone can help me!

I like the Lindell-Herndon site. I am not comfortable enough to make the modifications that Bill has made but I am gettingh there. In the meantime I am using a third party. template and it is ok for now. See m site at https://www.wmfstratton.net

Found this almost 12 years later and it worked great! Thanks, Bryan!

@argelfraster I'll put in a plug for my own site and template... When I started using TNG back in 2012, I was frustrated with the templates and the menu system. I started working on my own designs, using Template 8 as a base, almost immediately. Now... I've pretty much departed completely from TNG standards--no complicated menu structures, larger fonts (for my old eyes), and higher contrast designs. - Bill Herndon Lindell-Herndon Genealogy

The Pedigree is from the Add Person Pedigree mod. See: https://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php/Add_Person_Pedigree Sailor Rob

I was going to add pictures to one of my existing albums, but, after I do a search and the pictures appears, in the "Select" column, the word, "ADD" doesn't appear. "Select" appears instead and cannot select the picture. I've tried refreshing the pop-up, closing the window, cleared cache, and doing the search again. I'm currently running v.15.0.3., using Google as my browser, and have attached a screenshot. TIA. Laura

Why would I want to use a spellchecker? Seriously? Because I want to spell check my Gedom file and/or site. It has nothing to do with the US vs AUS vs NZ spelling variations. To quote me, I…

Unsure why you would use a spellchecker - it is unlikely to know the variation(s) of spelling around the world - would probably be US English not English English Aus words and some kiwi spelling customs would also render errors.

It could be a matter of your pages not being updated in WP or in your browser- Are you sur your caches have been emptied (and in a WP integration that can be a real issue) Also try your new settings with different browser.

Got it. Sorry! I'm not very techy and didn't know the terminology.

Let us go back a step. Have you logged into php MyAdmin which is probably http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php?route=/ ? If no changes have been made you use 'root' and no password.

Sorry, but as I stated "I’m looking for a global spell checking solution…not a ‘check as you type’ solution".

You could also install something like Grammerly in your browser.

Found this. It's Windows only, but appears to be free and I am using it under Parallels as it has a global spell checker... https://chronoplexsoftware.com/myfamilytree/index.htm

Hmmm so it looks like the integrated TNG options (collapsing sections and putting photos in a row) aren't working, and I'm having some strangeness with the add person pedigree mod. It is a wordpress integration so I wonder if something there is causing problems? I took out mystylesheet completely in case that was an issue and cleared the cache but it didn't help. Collapsing events (settings) Collapsing events (what is happening) Photos in a row (settings) Photos in a row (what is happening) I'm also having something weird with the add person pedigree mod where it only has two generations no matter what I put in the options. Any suggestions? (And I'm happy to move this conversation if it belongs somewhere else).

Wow @theKiwi and @omarquet thank you so much for all the wonderful information! And my apologies for misattributing your site, omarquet. This is fantastic.
