 * The galleries are very pretty, but from a dev standpoint, Nextgen has issues.
   We recently built a site and migrated from test to a live server. After the move,
   the galleries weren’t working. [not valid template] shows. Dig in the database.
   Dig through the forums. Lots of users with the same problem. Our fix – visit 
   each post with a gallery, open the gallery, go to Customize Display Options and
   remove the hardcoded path to the test environment. Ick. Not recommended for sites
   unless it’s a vanilla blog.

 * [@melriks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/melriks/) – did you contact us
   about this? I’m wondering if you had tried the ‘reset options’ tool under Gallery
   > Other Options > Reset Tool. This generally does the trick after moving your
   site. When something like this happens we prefer that users contact us so we 
   can help, rather than post a review with a complaint that could be resolved.
