In reply to: [Mailchimp List Subscribe Form] MailChimp widgetAs explained (maybe not definitively), the widget button has totally disappeared both from the widget area on the left and from the widget area, that it was placed on the right
Basically, no widget now exists
In response to your question re shortcodes – no I was not using a shortcode, I had installed the widget (which now no longer exists)
For what it’s worth, my reply was in response to Photocrati, so what that has to do with you, God only knows

@sasnick – Have you submitted Bug Reports (http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/) for the issues you are seeing? Especially for those issues you are seeing across multiple sites with the exact same setup.
Reproducible issues are very important for us to resolve.
– Cais.
Thank you for your response, but I will not be submitting a bug report, as I do not wish to waste my time on buggy software
For my organisation, NextGen is now of no use to us, just like Microsoft when it delivered Vista to an unsuspecting audience, we ditched it ,searched and found something more stable and reliable
My conclusion is not wrong, it does not work with my legacy galleries, so far as I am concerned, it is unusable in its current state
Maybe, you have time on your hands to play around and sort things out, I do not, so as far as my requirements are concerned, NextGen is now a no-go area
Yesterday evening I created a test site with exactly the same plugins as the site that ended up inoperable when updating NextGen to 2.0.30, including adding the latest NextGen and it worked perfectly, so none of the other plugins were to blame
My conclusion is, that NextGen has been built for new users and that the coding has not taken existing legacy users into account
I have four sites that use NextGen 1.9.13 and that is definitely as far as I will go, imo version 2 is of no use on existing sites
Thanks surocharge, but having read the open letter and being repeatedly informed how good the tool was (then why change it!) and ultimately it’s our fault if it doesn’t work, I am now actively looking for an alternative plugin
Photocrati do not appear interested in the likes of us (who are not computer nerds!)
As an aside, I am well aware the plugin was free, but had it continued to work, then I was considering purchasing the PRO version, so at least I am saving some money now
I am now in the same situation, I copied a file to create a similar derivative and now cannot access anything. I deleted the copy, but to no avail, nothing works
I was at the stage of thinking what a great bit of software, and that I should upgrade to the Pro version, but I need to know that this problem is easily resolvable, or I will need to look elsewhere
