@paulmfield – Thanks for your report. As noted for the original poster, we’d need to see some evidence of a possible exploit or security vulnerability in NextGEN Gallery. If you have that, please send us the details in a bug report http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/ and we’ll be on it quickly.

But to emphasize the same point we made to the original poster: the fact that you have NextGEN Gallery on a website and that website was hacked, doesn’t at all indicate that NextGEN was the source for the attack.

That is the case even if you found malicious files within the NextGEN folder, since once your site is hacked, the hacker may put malicious files in any location.

We do track any security reports very closely, and again if you can provide any evidence that NextGEN actually has a specific vulnerability, we’d react very quickly. But as it stands, there is no indication of a vulnerability in NextGEN that we know of. Usually if there is, we quickly find out about it from multiple sources just because NextGEN is active on so many websites.

Thanks! (Erick)

Quick note @borisrio – not sure if you had already made the change, but the review is still showing the original two stars…

@kencooperjr – Ok, thanks for the follow up. If that’s the case, then yup, we’re letting you down as it stands.

Just FYI – this *will* happen. I know it’s no solace, but we have basically two developers on NextGEN and NextGEN Pro, supporting hundreds of thousands of users. There’s always more to do than we have resources for. To prioritize, we generally emphasize issues that are either the most serious or get the most user reports/requests.

And we just don’t get that many users wanting to manage their galleries from their ipads. It’s generally front end viewing that’s been most important. But as we get more and more done, this is getting more and more on the the radar.

In any case, thanks for taking the time to add the extra details. We really do hope you find an alternative that meets your needs.

@infernowrx – just following up on some old reviews. Thanks for the detail in yours. For what it’s worth, NextGEN really isn’t a “Slider” plugin. It’s a gallery management plugin that happens to have a slideshow as a gallery display type. But even then, a slideshow is very different from a slider in terms of what it’s supposed to do.

Given all that, I’m not too surprised it wasn’t great for your needs. Regardless, we appreciate you giving it a try. Thanks (Erick)

@bill57 – Just following up to see if you are still having this issue (if you’re still working with NextGEN). As far as we know, NextGEN is loading fine for recent WP versions. Thanks! (Erick)

@rubensedanoc – Just wanted to follow up on this. First, thanks for reaching out to us when you did about a possible security vulnerability. We always take that stuff seriously, and we appreciate the notice.

I was reviewing your correspondence with our team. I think we’ve confirmed that this was resolved. As a extra note for you and others, the vulnerability report that you sent actually notes this issue was only present in 2.0.63 and less and was confirmed patched in 2.0.65 (May 2014).

If you still see an issue, can you please follow up on our email thread. But assuming this issue is resolved, we’re wondering if you might consider bumping your one-star rating?

Thanks again. (Erick)

@kencooperjr – Just reviewing some recent reviews and came across this. I just wanted to be sure you understand that NextGEN support front end gallery displays on iOS just fine. We do actually test our gallery displays on tablets.

It’s back end functionality in tems of uploading and managing your images in the back end that’s bumpy in iOS. Is that what you’re needing?

Thanks (Erick)

@dwrz – I’m glad to hear it’s resolved. Thanks for taking the time to post an update!
