I think my issue was a problem with an older version of WordPress. Once I updated to the latest version of WordPress, and the latest version of Nextgen gallery problems resolved. One note, after these issues were resolved, I’ve actually moved my website onto a linux backbone now, works much nicer, much more stable. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] NextGen issue with new gallery / or adding image to existing gallery](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-issue-with-new-gallery-or-adding-image-to-existing-gallery/) * Thread Starter [salcaps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salcaps/) * (@salcaps) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-issue-with-new-gallery-or-adding-image-to-existing-gallery/page/2/#post-5258143) * Cais-Has there been any update on this? I appreciate the fact that it appears to have been escalated, and everyone is doing their best to rectify the problem, however, its becoming a bit of an issue at this point. I really would like to be able to update my site with new content and am still not able to. Please advise. -Sal * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] NextGen issue with new gallery / or adding image to existing gallery](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-issue-with-new-gallery-or-adding-image-to-existing-gallery/) * Thread Starter [salcaps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salcaps/) * (@salcaps) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-issue-with-new-gallery-or-adding-image-to-existing-gallery/#post-5258095) * Cais-do we have any update at this time? I’m just more curious than anything at this point.

I forwarded your comments in your last followup to me…here was his response to your inquiry. * No I did not get a copy Sal. Tell him that your site is on a Windows server and the numeric file and folder permissions do not work on it. However, the file and folder permissions in the folder sc and below are appropriate, the application can create, write, and delete files as I verified in my message which you posted on the support forum. * -Sal * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] NextGen issue with new gallery / or adding image to existing gallery](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-issue-with-new-gallery-or-adding-image-to-existing-gallery/) * Thread Starter [salcaps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salcaps/) * (@salcaps) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-issue-with-new-gallery-or-adding-image-to-existing-gallery/#post-5258022) * Cais- * I just wanted to follow up and make sure your received the information that you had the requested.

Thought I would enter his test/finding here. * Hi Sal, * The folder permissions appear to be fine in file manager. Just to make sure, I updated a plugin in WordPress which went fine; then I upgraded WordPress to 4.0 which also worked fine. That means the application, WordPress is able to write to those folders and replace other files. Otherwise, the updates would have failed without folder and file permissions being right. Then I refreshed the folder permissions in just the gallery folder to be on the safe side and tried to upload a file to an existing gallery which failed, despite the message indicating it was successful. * Next, using FTP I created a folder in gallery called dummy and uploaded several photographs in it. They uploaded fine via FTP. Then I switched to WordPress/Gallery/ Add Gallery option and selected to Import Folder. I pointed to the new dummy folder and NGG imported them fine, I can see the thumbnails in the gallery and even edit the thumbnail successfully. This would indicate to me that NGG is able to create a thumbnails folder, add thumbnails to it, and later overwrite them there. I attempted to upload a new image to this new gallery but it failed. * These tests would point in the direction of folder permissions being correct. My money is still on NGG having some problem either in some instances or on some servers, like a Windows server. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] NextGen issue with new gallery / or adding image to existing gallery](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-issue-with-new-gallery-or-adding-image-to-existing-gallery/) * Thread Starter [salcaps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salcaps/) * (@salcaps) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-issue-with-new-gallery-or-adding-image-to-existing-gallery/#post-5257934) * Cais- If you visit [http://www.lightpainter.us](http://www.lightpainter.us), then go to (upper right) “PHOTOS”, click there and you will see a number of albums depicted. The last one “test” I created for you. That’s on image in a gallery that is not view-able. If I try to add that image into one of those other albums, the image is not view-able either. Also, I made sure that the sizing was below the min req, I tried everything I could think of…. -Cais * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] NextGen issue with new gallery / or adding image to existing gallery](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-issue-with-new-gallery-or-adding-image-to-existing-gallery/) * Thread Starter [salcaps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salcaps/) * (@salcaps) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-issue-with-new-gallery-or-adding-image-to-existing-gallery/#post-5257927) * Cais- So per your request. I disabled EVERY plugin again – including NexGen plugin. I selected and installed a WordPress Twenty series theme page, activated it. Then re-activated the NG gallery plug-in. (DID NOT reactivate any other plugins) Same issue. Thumbnails/photos are not showing in the gallery. Also tried adding a photo to one of the existing galleries. No dice. -Sal Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total)
