Plugin: NextGEN Gallery Problem fatal error when uploading

Hi,

Check with these options:

– Assign 766 recursive permissions to wp-contents folder.
– Upgrade your wordpress to the latest version
– increase the memory and upload limit for PHP either for your domain or from the server.

Thanks,

Shane G.

making permissions 766 broke my site it took me forever to figure out that thats what caused it. my wordpress is now to the newest version. i have not upgraded the memory, but i might have fixed it, and will try that later if i have not

ok so i worked on the site more.

im still having problems where the images are uploaded but the thumbnails are not being created.

my host wont allow me to upgrade the php memory max limit, 20mb is their max

im still getting this dam message, ive tried importing, uploading, uploading .zip still this error

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /homepages/34/d259013462/htdocs/seafoodpunch/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/lib/meta.php on line 335

any ideas, need help, the site hits are suffering and my artist is pissed.

thanks
greg

oh yeah i upgraded the site to wordpress 2.8.4 btw

I have the same problem right now. It al worked well with previous versions of NextGen Gallery, but now I get the nextgen-gallery/lib/meta.php on line 376 error! Any solution for this?

Btw, this is with the new WordPress 2.9.1 and with a fresh install.

Oke, found something about this!

This error only happens when I try to upload a JPG that was created out of Adobe Illustrator. When I copy my creation from Illustrator to Photoshop and save it there as a JPG only then I can upload it to Nextgen Gallery without an error.

I looked trough the meta.php, but I couldn’t find any fast solution for this because I don’t have the qualifications for it. I think however that it has to do with xmpTags array and the information it retrieves from the Illustrator file.

So, temporary workaround for me is to copy out of Illustrator to Photoshop (don’t try to open the created JPG in Photoshop and save it again, it doesn’t seem to help) and save it from there.
