# NextGen breaks Admin Widgets page

 * I’ve discovered that NextGen Gallery 2.0.65, when activated, breaks the Widgets
   page in Admin in WordPress 3.9.1. Here are the particulars:
    I am running WordPress
   3.9.1 as a Multisite (I have not tried this on a normal, single site installation
   yet). I have disabled all plugins from both network plugins and for the individual
   site.
 * I tested this on the unaltered twentyfourteen theme that comes with WordPress
   3.9.1
 * I tried deleting NextGen and all its database tables, then reinstalling it from
   scratch.
 * In the rendered code of the Admin Widgets page, I see an exception being thrown
   within
    `div#available-widgets => div#widget-6_ngg-mrssw-__i__ => div.widget-
   inside => form => div.widget-content`
 * The next line is (i replaced my account name with ******:
 * `<h1>RuntimeException thrown</h1><p>/home/******/public_html/iasite-content/plugins/
   nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/widget/form_mediarss.php 
   is not a valid MVC template</p>`
 * and the rest of the page fails to load.
 * I just realized that although I tried to create as close to a default install
   state as possible, I previously had used iThemes security plugin to change the
   name of my wp-content folder to ‘iasite-content’ but even with iThemes security
   deactivated, everything else works fine (the content directory name was altered
   in wp-config and that line remains even after iThemes security is deactivated),
   so I’m wondering if this could be related to the problem.
 * Note that I would be happy to NOT have the rss widget at all…is there a way to
   just turn it off?

 * [@cvc1968](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cvc1968/) – This could definitely
   be related to the renamed `/wp-content/` folder … and we are looking at possible
   solutions to other issues that may sort this one out for our next (significant)
   release.
 * As to “turning off” the widget (which we have not see this issue with before),
   there is no option to do that and it would require modifying the core plugin 
   files which we do not recommend.
 * – Cais.
