I have done anything I could imagine, but to no avail. * At least, loading the scripts in the footer, just not in the head. * Looking forward for an answer. * [DickRaney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dickraney/) * (@dickraney) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stop-nextgen-v2-from-loading-scriptscss/#post-4116222) * Same problem. Using twentythirteen theme with WordPress version 3.6.1. * NextGEN loads 5 CSS files: - nextgen_gallery_related_images.css - jquery.lightbox-0.5.css - nextgen_basic_thumbnails.css - nextgen_pagination/static/style.css - nggallery.css * I don’t want any of them. I have custom CSS in my theme styles. * Before version 2.0 we could easily turn off these CSS files as well as script files. That should be a basic settings option. * IT IS GROSS TO MAKE SO MANY EXTRA HTTP REQUESTS FOR ONE PLUGIN. * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stop-nextgen-v2-from-loading-scriptscss/#post-4116223) * Hey all – just a note that I’ll forward this to our developers to 1) ask if they can propose a quick fix and 2) get the concept of an option as proposed by [@dickraney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dickraney/) on the table for discussion. If I get a quick fix, I’ll post it back here again.
