Whenever we build a website using WordPress and the client request a gallery – we always use NextGEN.
I cant fault them for the features it offers, its a fantastic bit of kit – but when it actually comes to the shortcodes to get it to display stuff – NextGEN fail big time.
So i google it every time, sometimes finding what i want – but most of the time having to piece it together from examples people have p=ut on forums.
Today, i found a blog that lists many of the Shortcodes – so i thought i’d repeat them so they are easier for people to find! – Thanks InfoPint!

Our clients often come to us with websites they have had developed somewhere else – sometimes the websites are awesome, made well, with the right elements taken into consideration to enable them to succeed in the SERP’s – but unfortunately, most of the time they are garbage.
Over the past few months we have been working closely with a number of Nottinghamshire based companies who have ventured into the online shopping world and are starting to reap the rewards for being ranked highly on Google not to mention seeing a huge increase in turnover and enquiries.
