I get a little tooltip ‘please fill in this field’ which is placed at the top left of the thickbox. * Does that happen to anyone else? * [hirnsaege](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hirnsaege/) * (@hirnsaege) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropdown-empty-on-adding-a-new-gallery/#post-6025929) * Same problem here … Wordpress 4.2.2, latest Version of nextcellent, no “Types” installed. * I want to insert a gallery – overlay opens with the configuration dialog. I click the gallery field, but the dummy text does not go away and i can’t select galleries. if i type the name OR the ID of the gal i want to have, i get a browser message“ you need to select a gallery” only. * Worked before, not not anymore. * [Chris Borgman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisborgman/) * (@chrisborgman) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropdown-empty-on-adding-a-new-gallery/#post-6025932) * I added this as an issue on Bitbucket. * [niknetniko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/niknetniko/) * (@niknetniko) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropdown-empty-on-adding-a-new-gallery/#post-6025936) * Please anwser following questions in an effort to find the cause of this bug, since it doesn’t happen on my testing sites: - What plugins are you using? - What browser are you using? * Thread Starter [nowton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nowton/) * (@nowton) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropdown-empty-on-adding-a-new-gallery/#post-6025937) * Since updating Types to the latest version the issue has been resolved on my end. * [jisuk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jisuk/) * (@jisuk) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropdown-empty-on-adding-a-new-gallery/#post-6025942) * I have this same problem, has anyone found a solution? * [Chris Borgman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisborgman/) * (@chrisborgman) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropdown-empty-on-adding-a-new-gallery/#post-6025943) * If you haven’t already done so please update to latest version of Word Press, your theme and NextCellent plugin. * Then list your OS, WP theme and if your WP install is multisite (WPMU) or single install. * Please deactivate all other plugins and test. Try testing in WP default 2015 theme. * Please post your results here. * I also have this issue on some WP installs but not on all. So it’s been really hard to isolate what triggers this conflict. * Please, if anyone can post information about their website configuration and test results I’ll post it for the author on Bitbucket. He’s also having a hard time reproducing the issue. * Thread Starter [nowton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nowton/) * (@nowton) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropdown-empty-on-adding-a-new-gallery/#post-6025952) * OS: Ubuntu 14.04LTS, WP Theme: custom based on underscores.me, Multisite installation.
