Hi @imagely , thanks for your reply.
I have written to WPVIP support to get their support.

Some questions about your plugin.

I have a local environment managed with WP VIP CLI ( https://docs.wpvip.com/technical-references/vip-cli/ ) that is based on https://lando.dev/ (wordpress dockerized environment).

I can check everythings in this environment.

The permissions in my uploads folder is correct:

Wordpress media uploads works fine.

When I try to set gallery_path in wp-admin/admin.php?page=ngg_other_options : “/wp-content/uploads/gallery/” i get “Gallery path does not exist and could not be created”:

https://ibb.co/YcStGsV

I have added some debug log in the method “_create_gallery_storage_dir” in the package
nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_other_options/package.module.nextgen_other_options.php

https://ibb.co/D1ZpG9B

In /wp-admin/admin.php?page=ngg_other_options I set gallery_path with “wp-content/uploads/gallery/”. When I “save options” I get in the wordpress debug.log:

[07-Nov-2022 10:32:30 UTC] _create_gallery_storage_dir
[07-Nov-2022 10:32:30 UTC] _create_gallery_storage_dir gallerypath wp-content/uploads/gallery/
[07-Nov-2022 10:32:30 UTC] _create_gallery_storage_dir docroot /wp
[07-Nov-2022 10:32:30 UTC] _create_gallery_storage_dir gallerypath joined with docroot /wp-content/uploads/gallery
[07-Nov-2022 10:32:30 UTC] _create_gallery_storage_dir doent exist 
[07-Nov-2022 10:32:30 UTC] PHP Warning:  mkdir(): No such file or directory in /wp/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_other_options/package.module.nextgen_other_options.php on line 136

[07-Nov-2022 10:32:30 UTC] /_create_gallery_storage_dir

https://ibb.co/D1ZpG9B

The important rows are:

gallerypath = wp-content/uploads/gallery/
docroot = /wp
joined = /wp-content/uploads/gallery/

and the mkdir fails because it can’t create a /wp-content (outside docroot)!

I think that the problem is in the method “join_paths” in the package ./plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/fs/package.module.fs.php

https://ibb.co/nDDfj8p

When gallerypath and docroot have the same starter pattern “wp”:

join_paths 
with params = ["/wp", "wp-content/uploads/gallery/"] 
returns /wp-content/uploads/gallery

I hope this analysis can help with this wrong behaviour.

I look forward for your reply.
