 * The biggest thing that this release has is some new hooks that you can utilize
   if you need, and a completely redone widget that’s not four year old widget creation
   methods.
 * Due to those changes with the widget, if yours suddenly stop working, just delete
   the original and re-add. The settings should all be the same for it Title and
   gallery to upload to.
 * Let me know of bugs or enhancement ideas. We are looking at getting it better
   fit for NextGEN 2.x still.

 * I just updated this plugin and on activation I get this error:
 * Fatal error: Can’t use function return value in write context in /var/app/current/
   wordpress/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-public-uploader/nextgen-public-uploader.
   php on line 93
 * I deleted the plugin and installed it again and I still get the same error when
   activating.
 * Please help me resolve this before I have to roll back 🙂
 * Your help is greatly appreciated.

 * thank you for the quick pointing out of this, but it’s also a very odd one being
   reported. Could you open the file and confirm whether or not line 93 is the following:
 *     ```
       if ( !empty( get_option( 'npu_image_link_love' ) ) ) {
       ```

 * I checked line 93 and it is the same as what you specified above.
 * Is there anyway I could get a link to the previous version of the uploader so
   I can get this corrected without having to roll back please?

 * should have 1.8.1 coming up in a moment.
 * It’s an issue with old php version and empty(), and the plugin was using it wrong
   in 2 places. I’m blaming my localhost being too uptodate to have caught it.
 * Hopefully this solves it on your end as well.

 * Hi, I had downloaded the new version 1.8.1, but I’ve overwrite my customize npu-
   upload.php for multiple file choosing. [Read this ](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-to-be-able-to-upload-multiple-images?replies=8#post-3855706)
   
   Please can you tell me how can I do to go back to previous plugin version? Or
   there is some way to modify this version to let my guest upload more then one
   pic? Many thanks!

 * Previous versions are available here: [http://wordpress.org/plugins/nextgen-public-uploader/developers/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/nextgen-public-uploader/developers/)
 * However, we hope to release some stuff in the near future that will help in this
   area, and they will rely on the 1.8 version.
 * So stay tuned 🙂

 * Hello Michael
    Is there any way for me to communicate with you directly about
   possibly building a custom version of this plug in?

 * Thank you for keeping this updated! I would certainly be interested in a Pro 
   Version of this plugin if it had features like:
    – Select category/gallery from
   front end for users – Further appearance customization from the dashboard such
   as color/button look, alignment, etc.
