 * Dear all,
 * Add a gallery / images -> “import from a folder” is not showing anything below
   the button where it used to show the list of my folders in wp-content. Now it’s
   blank.
    Do you know what’s could be wrong?
 * WP and all extensions up to date. Permission of images folders 777.
    Thank you
   🙂

 * Hello [@arfufu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arfufu/),
 * Let’s check if it is an existing conflict before anything else:
    – Temporarily
   deactivate all your plugins except NextGen Gallery. – Is the problem solved? 
   Then, it was caused by one of your plugins. Please check one by one and find 
   the one causing the problem. – If the problem is not solved with the deactivation
   of the plugins, try changing to a standard WordPress theme, it could be a conflict
   with your current theme.
 * Please, let us know if that worked for you.
    We are happy to help!

 * Hello [@gabyimagely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabyimagely/),
 * Thank you for your reply. I must admit I was lazzy and wanted to ask here before
   in case this issue was known, but I did the job and now it can serve the community:
 * Plugin Organizer is guilty!
 * To prevent the gallery scripts from loading on every page, I setup this plugin
   to make NextGen unactive on all the website, and activated it page by page when
   needed (I use it on 2 pages overs 150). This way everything was working just 
   fine except this feature= import from server folders. Very strange…
    So now I’m
   trying to figure out how to configurate it differently to acheive the same goal:
   load nextgen scripts only on my 2 pages using galleries… If you have an idea?
   😀 I will investigate a bit more and mark as resolve later if I/we find a way.
 * P.S: I made a little mistake in my first message; it’s not below but above that
   should appear the list of folders.
 * thank you!

 * Hi [@arfufu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arfufu/),
 * First of all, we need to mention that the “Gallery -> Add Gallery / Images” option
   is available for desktop and laptop devices only and it wouldn’t show up on mobile
   or tablet devices.
 * Secondly, there is a requirement to allow NextGen’s scripts to be executed on
   the domain’s Home URL for the upload feature to correctly work
