just tried with no editor and still get the same error. I don't understand since K2 and SIG are both made by Joomlaworks why they don't work seamlessly. I would buy the pro version if I thought it would work but I won't take the risk.

I don't know if upraded version of K2 helped here.

SIG Pro is a must. That is said by folks smarter than me. Additionaly I checked again and found that there is not a matter of editor (mea culpa that I advised so) but the K2 bug (probably?)
To show the gallery on the front end the options in category/subcategory view should be "show gallery", and additionally in item view option "show" to view the gallery. If I have in item view gallery option set "like in category" - gallery is visibile only for admin not from the front! I think it is probably a bug
There is no need to change the names of the files to small letters or to exclude "_" and numbers (as was advised in other posts).

You should use Pro version of SIG (this way you can thank Joomlaworks for this great K2 component ;-)).
In my case Gallery works fine but remember to set in your article view options "show gallery". To set this option in category view is not enough (bug ???)

@Lance : Check this thread with couple of solutions for current SIG free - k2community.joomlaworks.gr/forum/topics/simple-image-gallery-bug

Here's what I did to get my site to work: I followed Javier's advice below. Additionally, I changed the following:

In /plugins/content/jwsig.php
Change Line 50 from:
$rootfolder = '/images/stories/';
to:
$rootfolder = '/media/k2/galleries/';

THEN, in /plugins/content/plugin_jw_sig/showthumb.php
Change Line 15 from:
$_image_ = '../../../images/stories/'.$_GET;
to:
$_image_ = '../../../media/k2/galleries/'.$_GET;



Javier Martínez,Paradigmaweb.com said:Hi you don't need the pro version.

just, look inside:

admnistrator/components/com_k2/models/item.php
admnistrator/components/com_k2/views/info/tmpl/default.php
admnistrator/components/com_k2/views/item/view,html.php
admnistrator/components/com_k2/views/info/tmpl/default.php
components/com_k2/models/item.php
components/com_k2/models/item/view.html.php

and change all jw_sig or jw_sigpro > jwsig

it also solve the problem of the hiden gallery tab. you don't need to rename the files jwsig.php and xml to jw_sig anymore :)

then, the previews of the gallery in the admin gallery tab are not showing. to solve it I did this.
in /plugins/content/jwsig.php

created this in any line:
$mosConfig_live_site2 = ("paradigmaweb.com");

found in lines 225 and 239 (the ones which start with "$html") and change
$mosConfig_live_site > $mosConfig_live_site2


Thats all.

This made it work. However my lightbox is not working. Image opens up in a separate tab instead of lightbox. Also wondering if there is a way to crop and make all thumbs the same size so that the gallery can look good?

Same here. Image opens in a separate tab. But a registered user gets the lightbox!
