 * When I try and activate any new 3rd party plugins I get the following error:
 * `PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'NGGALLERY_ABSPATH/
   admin/functions.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /var/
   www/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery-media-library-addon/nggmla-
   class.php on line 805,`
 * NGG itself works but I cannot add anything else. Please see below for requested
   details:
 * – WordPress up to date? yes (4.5.3)
    – NextGEN up to date? yes – All plugins 
   up to date? yes – Do you have a caching plugin installed? If so, please purge/
   delete all site cache and deactivate the plugin. Clear your browser cache and
   reload the page with the issue. Is it still there? No cache plugin – Try disabling
   all browser extensions/plugins and clear browser cache and reload, does that 
   help? no
 * (please confirm the following, with your server host tech) :
    – MySQL up to date(
   at least 5.6+)? Yes – PHP up to date (at least 5.6+)? 5.6.22 – The mod_rewrite
   Apache module activated? yes – PHP Safe Mode OFF? No
 * Additional information that will help us find a solution:
    – Who are you hosted
   with? AWS – What theme are you running? Dynamic News – Have you tried checking
   for a plugin/theme conflict as outlined above^ ? Yes – Does the issue occur in
   all browsers IE/Firefox/Chrome/Safari ? Yes

 * OK so this is to do with the NextGEN Gallery Media Library Addon. If I deactivate
   that how can I use NGG images as featured images?

 * [@williamsdb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/williamsdb/) – You should see
   an option to use a NextGEN Gallery image as your Featured Image (just below the
   default WordPress Media Library image option) when you are writing / editing 
   your post/page … [http://take.ms/RNmmU](http://take.ms/RNmmU)

 * Hi, I thought that functionality was part of the “NextGEN Gallery Media Library
   Addon” plugin but clearly not! Thanks.
