It would likely be best for you to contact its authors. * Thanks! * – Cais. * [sajjad_fx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sajjad_fx/) * (@sajjad_fx) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-public-uploader-problem-1/#post-5811008) * Hello i have this problem too after the update may i ask you that help us how can we fix this issue? we have postet at uploader support forum but the last activity at this forum is 1 month ago! * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-public-uploader-problem-1/#post-5811019) * [@sajjad_fx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sajjad_fx/) – We are not the author of that plugin and unfortunately we do not offer support for third-party extensions at this time. * – Cais. * [CCC](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chanecullens/) * (@chanecullens) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-public-uploader-problem-1/#post-5811039) * Hi Cais * Many of us have been through a year of updates to create nice websites with you new products. And I’m sure many, like me, have purchased the advanced pro versions. * I realize you, and all companies, should have a policy not to support third-party extensions. I’m asking for the NextGen community – can you suggest a a workaround that gets the uploader functioning and lets us use your new features. * thanks, Chane * [CCC](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chanecullens/) * (@chanecullens) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-public-uploader-problem-1/#post-5811040) * This fix worked for me, I’ll continue to look for the right fix. * Line 81 of class.npu_uploader.php from folder: wp-content/plugins/nextgen-public- uploader/inc * Simply comment out these 4 lines of code, use // at the start of each line to comment out a line * ``` //if ( ! $this->chmod( $dest_file ) ) { // self::show_error( __( 'Error, the file permissions could not set.', 'nextgen-public-uploader' ) ); // continue; //} ``` * Note: this has been tested on exactly 1 website, mine, and it works for me. Use at your own risk. * [CCC](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chanecullens/) * (@chanecullens) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-public-uploader-problem-1/#post-5811041) * OK, here is the change I found that breaks Nextgen public uploader. The blog post mentions: * > Changed: Removed unused code from **ngglegacy** module. Created wrappers for > commonly-used functions * It just happened that Nextgen public uploader used on of the legacy functions. * From the file: …\wp-content\plugins\nextgen-gallery\products\photocrati_nextgen\ modules\ngglegacy\admin\functions.php * Line: 1047 (or so) the legacy function chmod was removed in the latest version: * ``` /** * Set correct file permissions (taken from wp core) * * @class nggAdmin * @param string $filename * @return bool $result */ function chmod($filename = '') { $stat = @ stat( dirname($filename) ); $perms = $stat['mode'] & 0000666; // Remove execute bits for files if ( @chmod($filename, $perms) ) return true; return false; } ``` * [CCC](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chanecullens/) * (@chanecullens) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-public-uploader-problem-1/#post-5811042) * Hi Cais * Does photocratic have plans to add chmod() back, or should extensions to your gallery work around the change? * thanks Chane * [CCC](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chanecullens/) * (@chanecullens) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-public-uploader-problem-1/#post-5811043) * The final workaround I’m using until photocratic or public uploader make a change. * In file: class.npu_uploader.php from folder: wp-content/plugins/nextgen-public- uploader/inc * A inserted the deleted chmod function from functions.php (see above for code and file location. * I inserted it at line 23. Since I’ve never crafted a wordpress plugin – I’ll leave it to experts to decide if this is a good workaround or not. * Chane * [CCC](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chanecullens/) * (@chanecullens) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-public-uploader-problem-1/#post-5811044) * I see NG 2.0.74 just arrived and installed. chmod() still missing. And my work around above is still working 🙂 * [sajjad_fx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sajjad_fx/) * (@sajjad_fx) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-public-uploader-problem-1/#post-5811046) * Hello chane Thanks for your sharing 🙂 we are awaiting for the authors to solve our problem… Best Regards. * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-public-uploader-problem-1/#post-5811110) * [@chanecullens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chanecullens/) – Thanks for sharing your work-around and ideas, have you shared them with the NextGEN Public Uploader authors? * – Cais. * [CCC](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chanecullens/) * (@chanecullens) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-public-uploader-problem-1/#post-5811118) * No I have not shared with the uploader team. Please do it for me if you are not re-adding chmod() * [edanzer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edanzer/) * (@edanzer) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-public-uploader-problem-1/#post-5811121) * Hi all – we’ve just released a beta for NextGEN that has a fix for the NextGEN public uploader.
