WordPress NextGEN Gallery watermark feature not working


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 in php.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.


Solution

  • 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.
