 * Hello, i hope someone can point me into the right direction.
 * I would like to replace my nextcellent gallery with NextGen.
 * I was hoping to be able to just move my images from one plugin to another.
 * So far, I have installed the NextGen plugin, but not yet removed/deactivated 
   NextCellent. NextGen cannot be activated, it says fatal error but with no details
   given.
 * Any help much appreciated,
    thank you.

 * Hi [@toolidoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toolidoo/),
 * I am sorry but there could be too many reasons why a plugin cannot be activated
   and respectively we can only offer you a couple of initial steps that would hopefully
   narrow a bit the use-case.
 * I would start by checking with the hosting provider to make sure that the following
   NextGen Gallery plugin’s requirements are met: [https://www.imagely.com/docs/requirements/](https://www.imagely.com/docs/requirements/)
 * If the above wouldn’t help, you may need to enable WordPress debug mode by editing
   your site’s `wp-config.php` file by FTP and replacing the following line:
 * `define('WP_DEBUG', false);`
 * with this
 *     ```
       ini_set('log_errors','On');
       ini_set('display_errors','On');
       ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL );
       define('WP_DEBUG', true);
       define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
       define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true);
       ```
   
 * Save the changes and try to install and activate NextGen again to see if the 
   error will be more relevant and provide us with that error code. If the error
   still remains irrelevant, please login by FTP to your domain’s file server, navigate
   to `"wp-content"` folder and edit the `error_log.txt` file then look for the 
   most recent Fatal or Syntax error code. Provide us with that line.
 * Thanks

 * Because it has been a month or more since your last reply, I am going to mark
   this as resolved as I assume you have found a solution. Please feel free to reply
   again if you still have questions.
 * Thanks!
