I was going through my plugins and updating, and I hit the "update automatically" button on the NextGen FlashViewer plugin. Next thing I know, my NextGen Gallery plugin is gone. Poof. So now all images in all of my posts are also *poof* (which affects almost all of my posts). I use the WordPressBackup plugin and am attempting to restore things now. Hopefully it works. All I can say is, WTF??

Posted 3 years ago #OK, phew. Downloaded my full backup and uploaded the whole plugins folder from the backup. (probably could have just uploaded the NextGen plugin, but thought of it too late) And everything is back to normal.
I guess the message is to be careful! If you have both of those plugins installed, think twice about updating the FlashViewer...Maybe it was the order I did it in, since they both had updates available. I did the FlashViewer first.
Whatever it was, it wasn't a huge deal. I bet I could have reinstalled the NextGen Gallery plugin and things would have worked again, as it seems that it was just the plugin that went away. Still, not a very cool experience.
