 * Well done! I’ve set all my other users to “Authors” but it’s still the same. 
   Here’s hoping someone else might join in and give me some tips!

 * I’ve discovered that you can change the author of the images (to other users)
   and to allow certain users (by role) to change the details, but it still doesn’t
   work!

 * Thanks Tasko. I’ve downloaded the plug-in but I still can’t seem to allow users
   to edit media. The only “capability” I can find is [edit_files] but that doesn’t
   seem to work. Do you have experience of the plugin?
    Thanks for your help

 * Thanks Esmi. That’s exactly what I did try. And if you go to the bottom and find
   the search tool, search for threads about adding to gallery from media library
   and I end up back here. Or another very similar thread in a very similar forum
   giving very similar (mostly inconclusive) answers.

 * I’d be perfectly happy to ask NextGen if there’s a way around this, but if you
   go to nextgen-galery.com and click on their support tab…guess where it takes 
   you…so here I am…again.

 * [@jamesveale5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamesveale5/) – I’m with you!
   Let me know if you find anything out. I’m not a coder either but it seems to 
   me to be a fairly straightforward thing to fix. I’ve hunted and hunted and just
   keep finding myself being pointed back to NextGen. I’m a sculptor and regularly
   need to add new works of art to my existing galleries, but I keep having to add
   duplicate images to apear in different galleries on different pages. I’m quite
   happy with how Nextgen works but I now can’t create new NextGen galleries from
   the (hundreds of!) pics already in my media library. It’s most vexing!!
