    Hi,

    I have a problem with the NextGEN Gallery Plugin: when I enable the plugin, the visual editor is broken: it is not possible to type anything in the editor. Here is a screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wxz1nl83xr0u7ei/broken_editor.jpg?dl=0

    My WordPress installation runs on Debian testing. I use the prepackaged version of WordPress (4.7+dfsg-2).

    I use a multi site installation with the following file layout:

    Wordpress content is under /srv/www/wp-content/www.michael-thaler.com

    The following files are in the directory:

    drwxr-xr-x 2 root www-data 4096 Jan 2 18:33 blogs.dir
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Jan 2 18:34 languages -> /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/languages
    drwxr-xr-x 3 www-data www-data 4096 Jan 3 07:15 ngg
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Jan 2 18:36 plugins -> /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/plugins
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Jan 2 18:36 themes -> /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/themes/
    drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 Jan 2 18:36 upgrade
    drwxr-xr-x 3 www-data www-data 4096 Jan 2 19:03 uploads

    The contents of /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content are:

    -rw-r–r– 1 www-data www-data 28 Dec 6 20:58 index.php
    drwxrwxr-x 4 www-data www-data 12288 Aug 1 19:54 languages
    drwxrwxr-x 19 www-data www-data 4096 Jan 4 06:35 plugins
    drwxrwxr-x 5 root www-data 4096 Jan 2 18:44 themes
    drwxrwxr-x 3 root www-data 4096 Jan 11 2016 uploads

    I use the following Apache configuration file:

    NameVirtualHost *:80

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    UseCanonicalName Off
    VirtualDocumentRoot /usr/share/wordpress
    Alias /wp-content /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content
    Options All

    # wp-content in /srv/www/wp-content/$0
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^/wp-content/(.*)$ /srv/www/wp-content/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1

    <Directory /usr/share/wordpress>
    AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>

    Apache version is 2.4.23-8

    I found some errors in the Apache log:

    There are more error messages like this

    I tried to disable all plugins except the NextGEN Gallery plugin and changed the Theme to Twenty-Sixteen, but nothing helped.

    I set up the blog a few days ago, it is a new installation (I have other blogs running on the same WordPress, but they are not using NextGEN Gallery)

    How can I fix this?

    Thanks,
    Michael

    @mthaler – At the moment, I can only surmise that NextGEN Gallery is not installing correctly under this environment especially with the error messages of missing database tables. In most cases from the past this has fallen to the WordPress database user not having *ALL* privileges for the database. I would suggest looking at this aspect of your environment and seeing if that helps to get this sorted out.

    Thanks!

    – Cais.
