 * I am trying to insert a NextGen gallery, but the plugin won’t allow me to select
   a gallery to insert. I am able to add the block, but once I click on it I cannot
   select and insert the gallery i want. The images and gallery have been created
   but can’t insert. i have the latest version of the plugin.

 * Can you describe what happens that is preventing you from selecting a gallery?
   Is the gallery list empty, does it appear incorrectly, does clicking the gallery
   list do nothing..?

 * Hi
    I’m having a similar problem.
 * I have been using Nextgen for many years with no problem. However, since the 
   latest updates I can’t insert a gallery.
 * All previous galleries work but I can’t manage them because there are no thumbnails
   and the ‘create new thumbnails’ action fails.
 * When I insert a gallery in a page (add nextgen gallery) and then get redirected
   to Nextgen, there are two fields missing (the type – Gallery/album and the gallery
   name) Without these I can’t select anything to insert.
 * I have the latest php and done a Site Health check and there are no issues.
 * I can create a new gallery from uploads or Media library and get the thumbnails
   ok. These new galleries are the only ones with thumbnails displayed. I have activated
   and deactivated Smush but to no avail.
 * Copying HTML seems to work but that sort of defeats the point.
 * The main issue is the lack of the two selection fields
 * Any help will be greatly appreciated.
