    Hello,

    As mentioned in another post and repeat so here, I also had Lightbox Plus ColorBox installed, but I am not with GoDaddy.

    Shortly after last post, I decided to delete Eazyest gallery plugin, as I had to get on with my project and couldn’t go through ‘losing’ uploaded images again (369 of them). Ftp didn’t really work for me, because data such as caption and description (and I imagine comments if there were any) are not retained in ftp reupload from backup.

    I wish you the best in fixing this.

    I guess it’s wait and see now…

    OK, I’ve uploaded Development version…what’s the difference?

    Unsure how to install Development version…I downloaded it (.zip)…but what next…do I delete current plugin and install dev. version?

    Well, not sure I had Dreamweaver open when it happened the first time…

    – I had uploaded images first time around the 15th March, and they ‘disappeared’ on the 20th…

    – I uploaded them again, and they were deleted a second time today around 16:00…

    – I uploaded images from backup today, and saw them being deleted, this time in front of my eyes…around 18:00…

    I might have had Dreamweaver open on all occasions (as I was making changes and updating the style.css in the Child theme for Twenty Twelve), but I wasn’t really conscious of it possibly having a part until the third time images were ‘disappearing’…

    Can’t make connection to anything I was doing in particular, because there were 300+ images (they take time to delete)…and I only noticed they were gone once folder was deleted and hence ‘Easyest Gallery’ disappeared from Dashboard menu…

    I’m going to leave it now…I’ve uploaded one album folder contents and give it a few days to see what happens…

    • Lightbox Plus ColorBox (though I wasn’t using it the first time gallery was deleted)
    • Restricted Site Access

    What is a trunk version?

    I finished uploading images back into album folder in gallery folder.
    I quit Dreamweaver
    I’m now in Easyest Gallery settings and it’s saying I have ‘424’ images in album folder?! I refreshed page, and now it show correct number (139)

    All captions and descriptions are lost (I imagine if there were any comments, those would have been lost as well)

    Now Image order (A-Z ascending) shows order of images correctly within Album folder in Dashboard, but shows as quasi random order on Frontend page.

    Image files stopped deleting in front of my eyes once I quit Dreamweaver (CS4).

    When I reopened Dreamweaver, only files left in gallery were the ones at the exact point I had quit Dreamweaver….they were deleting themselves from ‘oldest’.

    As a test, I am now re-uploading images into album and then quitting Dreamweaver right after…

    I’ve uploaded one of the album folders from my back with ftp in newly created ‘gallery’ folder….finished uploading.

    Album folder shows up in Easyest Gallery, BUT with new id page number…

    …and now they are all deleting in front of my very eyes!

    Within Eazyest Gallery Settings

    I’ve clicked ‘Create’ folder ‘gallery’ again in settings and it’s telling me ‘The slug you selected cannot be used’ (i.e. wp-content/gallery/)

    though it has created folder ‘gallery’ in wp-content….
    I’ve selected my options, clicked ‘Save Changes’, and again it states in red box, “The slug you selected cannot be used”

    I’m now going to copy album folders from backup and see what happens

    I’ve been with my host provider long enough…images and folders have never gone missing before…

    It also happened around the same time in both cases…between 15:30 and 16:30 GMT.

    Just in case, I’ve created a folder named test and placed it under wp-contents/
    if it spontaneously deletes in three days time, then perhaps it might just be something unrelated to plugin (but somehow I doubt it)

    The same thing happened to me, twice!

    1. Even though plugin is still activated, Eazyest Gallery disappears from Dashboard ‘main menu’ (where you’d select albums)

    2. Folder ‘gallery’ is deleted together with all its contents (where the album folders and images are saved) – in my case around 375 images

    3. In plug-in settings it declares you have to create the folder ‘gallery’ as if you’ve just installed plugin and have to start from scratch.

    4. With ftp, I can see the ‘gallery’ folder is no longer there (deleted by whom? how?)

    The first time I thought perhaps I had done something wrong. So I went on to re-install gallery folder again and re-upload all of the images (painstakingly so, as many of the captions have to be manually inserted).

    This was three days ago, on the 20th. And today the 23rd they’re gone again!
