Do not “upgrade” to v4

    I have been using NextGEN gallery since 2011. It’s been a brilliant plugin. Having just installed the latest version on a new website I’m building, all I can say is DO NOT “UPGRADE” TO v4.

    It’s awful – horrible new interface (which I guess you could get used to) but much worse – I could not get it to work on my WP build at all. It just would not show any galleries on the “Manage galleries” page, however many new test galleries I made and however many times I refreshed. Useless.

    Fortunately I found a post in the forums that told me to go to plugins > nextgen-gallery > advanced

    Scroll to the bottom of that page where you’ll see Previous Versions where you can download v3.59.12.

    I have uninstalled v4 and installed v3.59.12 instead, which works fine. Phew. I’ll never be “upgrading” to v4, that’s for sure.

    Hi @webweavertoo,

    Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. I’m sorry for the frustration after upgrading.

    What you’ve described with the Manage Galleries page sounds like a potential conflict, and we’d be happy to help identify it. If you’re open to looking into it, please reach out to us at https://www.imagely.com/contact/ and we’ll work through it with you.

    Thank you!
