 * Hi, [@rbennett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rbennett/)!
 * I’d like to help you troubleshoot and resolve this. Let’s first check to see 
   if there is a plugin conflict happening. Temporarily deactivate all plugins, 
   then reactivate NextGEN Gallery only. Does the error still appear? If so, temporarily
   switch to a WordPress theme (this deactivation is only intended to quickly check
   to see if the error goes away or is still present). If by deactivating the other
   plugins, the error does go away, reactivate each of the other plugins one at 
   a time to locate the culprit. Keep me posted on your results 🙂

 * Because it has been a month or more since your last reply, I am going to mark
   this as resolved as I assume you have found a solution. Please feel free to reply
   again if you still have questions. 🙂
 * Thanks!
