I have been trying for a couple of hours to get the NextGEN Gallery watermark feature to work with no success. The text watermark will work but the image watermark won’t.
I have done a lot of reading on Google, and mainly what’s coming up is that I need to
- use an absolute URL to the watermark;
- have
allow_url_fopen= On
inphp.ini
; and - apply the watermark to the images
all of which I have done, and still no luck.
Has anyone come across the same issue and solved it? If so, how? This is driving me crazy.
After looking tirelessly for a resolution I decided to host the image on a different server, the watermark worked straight away! The server in question is heart internet so I will be getting in contact with them and asking why its not working!
If anyone else comes across this issue try and host the image on a different server, that kind of solved it for me.
Changing font and size worked for me.
