I have the same problem on my site. All existing galleries on pages show a message of no images found. When trying to add a gallery to a page, the drop down box to select them says there are no matches found. Managing galleries shows them all but adding images or galleries does not work from the add galleries/images, however, I could add a gallery by doing so on the manage galleries page.
Ok, I managed to get my galleries back by downgrading NGG to version 2.0.40 (I tried 2.0.57 first, that didn’t work)
I guess I am now out of updates train 🙁
I tried going back as far as 2.0.33 without any luck. Did you try adding images to galleries yet?
No, I didn’t add any images just not to multiply the mess. I am now trying to roll on 57 and 58… I guess I went from 40 directly to 58, skipping 57 and may be this was an issue? I will post what I find
That didn’t work. I am having the same issue after migrating from 2.0.40 to 2.0.57. All galleries gone.
I am staying on 2.0.40 so far. Bye-bye updates 🙁
I downgraded to 2.0.40, but it does not solve anything for me. still all the issues I mentioned above…
The way I did it (maybe means something):
Deactivate, delete complete nextgen_gallery folder from plugins, unzip 2.0.40, represh plugins page, activate.
Yeah, that is what I did… I tried some other versions as well, something must have broken a bit more somewhere for me…
@m0n5ter & @jsalomone – Although I cannot really say what happened to your sites from these details we are working on releasing a very small release later this week that may help, especially if there is a jQuery component to the issues you are seeing.
If the next release does not help you please submit a Bug Report (http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/) so we can try to help you get this sorted out.
Thanks!

I have the same problem. All my images gone after update.
OK, I found out what happened with my galleries.
I have a special MySQL user for my wordpress sites. And this user has limited rights. I thought it was a good idea to give him a read-only access. However, recent NGG update needed to alter some tables in DB, and that failed.
I had to give that user ALTER TABLE privelegie in MySQL, after that the update to 2.0.59 worked ok and the site seems to be functional.
Hmm, I checked, and my user has that privilege and has always had it.
m0n5ter thank you so much! I changed my db users rights and problem solved!
@m0n5ter – Thanks for the update and sharing your findings … that particular solution is very difficult to find as it is not a very common way for a standard WordPress installation to be setup.
