Thank you so much for your advice.

I do have Private Photos checked, but my photos are mostly set to Public. The Safety setting, which is different, is set to Restricted for many of them.

Sayontan, I tried adding the code you suggested. (I’ll be curious to see if it only shows Restricted ones or if it also shows ones with a lower safety threshold). It doesn’t appear to have had an effect, however. For the gallery I’m testing with, the same five safe photos show up but the one I marked “moderate” and the other I marked “restricted” aren’t appearing. It didn’t ask me to log in to Flickr to see the other two. (I am currently logged into Flickr in the same browser, so it might have already detected that. But even so, it didn’t display those ones.)

Can you confirm that I placed the code in the correct spot? I’ll paste that part of the code below, but in case that doesn’t work, I also posted a screen capture of it:

This is what that part of the code now says:

else if (isset($per_page)) {
$query .= ‘&per_page=’.$per_page;
}

if (!empty($page)) {
$query .= ‘&page=’.$page;
}
$query .= ‘&safe_search=3’;
$login_required = false;
if (isset($privacy_filter) && trim($privacy_filter) != ”) {
$query .= ‘&privacy_filter=’.$privacy_filter;
$login_required = $privacy_filter == 1 ? false : true;
}

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for your response. I have new details that will hopefully help.

I managed to restore access to my site by disabling all of my plugins through the Control Panel. When I did that, my site was completely restored except for things dependent on plugins (the galleries weren’t working, and neither were the ads on my site that are served through the AdRotate plugin, for example).

Before I reverted to a Twenty series theme, I just wanted to see if the site would work with only the NextGEN Galleries working. It did … briefly. Clicking on posts and pages that did not have galleries was fine. If I clicked on a blog post with a gallery, it loaded, but as soon as I tried to paginate (for galleries with more than 20 images), or click on another post with a gallery, I received error messages replacing the text of the post. Here are two examples of the error message (the emphasis is in the original).

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 262144 bytes) in /home/cosmom2/public_html/sfgaylife/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/datamapper/package.module.datamapper.php on line 1303

and

I disabled the NextGEN plugin and everything started working fine again (except for galleries not displaying, of course). I clicked around extensively without any problems. But as soon as I re-enabled the NextGEN plugin, the same pattern occurred: the first time I clicked on a post with a gallery, it loaded fine, but I got either the error message above or a completely blank page the second time I clicked on a page with a gallery. I tried this several times, turning on and off NextGEN, always with the same effect.

I then tried running the site with only my AdRotate plugin working, but with NextGEN and every other plugin disabled. It worked fine and I was able to click throughout the site extensively without any errors.

I currently have the site running with every former plugin re-activated except NextGEN, and so far there haven’t been any errors.

By the way, my site was running for over a year using NextGEN Gallery and almost a year with my current theme without problem. This problem flared up last week. I did not install any new plugins before it happened. My hosting company had contacted me for three weeks leading up to this telling me that my CPU usage was too high, but other than that, the site was still functional.

The only thing I can think of is either having over 25,000 photos has overloaded it, or my hosting company has imposed some sort of memory constraints that this plugin is exceeding?

Thank you. As it happens, my site upgraded to WordPress 4.0.1 last night, and then this morning there was an update for the NextGEN Gallery plugin. Not sure which fixed it, but I don’t appear to be having problems anymore. I’ve bookmarked that link for future reference just in case.

Thank you!
