 * [Plugin: NextGen} Image not writable error or memory limit err
 * Hello- I have a few wordpress site hosted on my godaddy account. Thru FTP I uploaded
   100 photos (not that high res, 400-1000k) which NextGen can view and show, but
   they take forever to load and don’t display in slideshow.
 * When importing with NextGen from the ftp uploaded I receive a memory limit error
   and no thumbnails are created.
 * When I try to bulk resize I get the error that the .jpg is not writable.
 * STEPS I HAVE TAKEN:
    There 20+posts related to this, but none have helped or 
   are recent. I have altered the /wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/lib/gd.thumbnail.
   inc.php file to remove (remove the //) from before @ini_set(‘memory_limit’, ‘
   128M’); as indicated in this guide ( [http://www.visser.com.au/blog/thumbnail-generation-php-memory-limit-nextgen-gallery/](http://www.visser.com.au/blog/thumbnail-generation-php-memory-limit-nextgen-gallery/))
 * This did not help.
 * Resize images smaller (orig were 2mb now ~1mb or less)
 * No luck.
 * Peruse internet for hour plus.
 * No luck.
 * Please let me know if ya have any tips WP community! Thank you!!!!
