The NextGEN Gallery field provides a dropdown (select or multi-select) of NextGEN Gallery names (galleries and albums) and the ability to map the selected NextGEN Gallery to the post. The get_value() API returns an array of the selected NextGEN Gallery IDs and the form – album or gallery. Support ACF5 Pro, ACF4, ACF3, NextCellent Gallery – NextGEN Legacy. **!!! Version 1.1 !!! ** This version changes get_value() API returned value. You must change your template files. !!! The get_value() API returns a following array: Array ( [0] => Array ( [ngg_id] => 8 ( NextGEN Gallery ‘gallery’ or ‘album’ ID ) [ngg_form] => gallery ( ‘gallery’ or ‘album’ ) ) ) #### Example These examples should show a NextGEN Gallery gallery or NextGEN Gallery album. For version 1.1 and later For version 1.0.2 and earlier ## Screenshots [⌊NextGEN Gallery Field.⌉⌊NextGEN Gallery Field.⌉[ NextGEN Gallery Field.

Make sure you have [Advanced Custom Fields](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/) installed and activated. This is not a standalone plugin for WordPress, it only adds additional functionality to Advanced Custom Fields. I just see on my post/page the name of the NextGEN Gallery Add-on only and no more nexts fields? Make sure you have [NextGEN Gallery plugin](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/) installed and activated. This is not a standalone plugin for WordPress. It only adds additional functionality to Advanced Custom Fields and works together with NextGEN Gallery plugin. Are my field definitions and post data lost, if I upgrade from ACF 3- to ACF 4 + At least all data of this custom field are keept and save. You can reuse and view you existing field definitions and gallery selections within posts, even after upgrading [Advanced Custom Fields](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/) to it’s newest version.

I downloaded it, made custom NextGen Gallery, create custom field in ACF, made proper type of this field, create personal “single-” template for my custom post type, put a proper PHP in it and everything works fine! No problem at all! I am absolutely noob and don’t know what templates & PHP are and how they works, but I spend two hours to learn a little and now everything works as I want. If you are not patient or don’t want to keep studying or spend a little free time to understand how Wordpress is working – stay away from this plugin and don’t waste your onestars. In my case everything works.
