Warning – reset Nextgen options breaks site

@programmin – NextGEN Gallery version 2.0.66 was a security release to specifically limit the file types you are able to upload (as was version 2.0.65).

If using the Reset Option under Gallery > Other Options is “breaking” your site then there was most likely some other issue at hand that was actually causing the problem, and in most of those cases we ask that a Bug Report (https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/) is submitted so we are fully aware of the issue and we offer the external Reset Tool plugin which works very similar to the Reset Option but “fixes” anything that may get broken in it.

As to documentation specifically covering the “ngg_options serialized array”, there is nothing specifically available but we were actually discussing that documentation requirements (both internal and external) will need to be made a higher priority with the latest modifications and enhancements we are working on and planning to add.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi!
Thank you for this great plugin.
but i’m still having this problem wp-content\plugins\nextgen-gallery\products\photocrati_nextgen\modules\nextgen_gallery_display\no_images_found.php is not a valid MVC template

is not a valid MVC template.
Don’t know what to do know. Can Someone helps me?

@ajp55 – You should start your own topic for your own issue(s) … in this case please follow the link above for Bug Reports and ask us for the external Reset Tool plugin. It may be what you need to get this sorted out.

Thanks!

Why don’t you make the external Reset Tool plugin just available to your website. So we can just download it instead of following a link and submitting a Bug Reports?
I’m not the first to get this kind of error about MVC template.
You are doing a great work and thank you.

@ajp55 – The Bug Report also helps us to keep track of what issues are being seen … if we simply made the Reset Tool public we would not have any data to tell us under what circumstances it was needed (there are a few issues that it generally resolves), but thank you for your suggestion we have considered it in the past.

@author!!!
I have already submitted the bug report, but I have not yet received the Reset Tool.
Is there anything I have to do again, or simply expecting it in my mail.
Thanks

@ajp55 – You should have received the Reset Tool in a response from the Bug Reports conversation.

You should have received the Reset Tool
I have not received any response from the Bug reports I submitted.
Should I wait again.
I really want to use your plugin, but it’s delaying my work now.
Should I submit another Bug reports? Since nobody has responded.

@ajp55 – Yes, I just finished reviewing the open Bug Reports and there are none that have not been addressed/replied to.

Here is the link again, just in case: https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/

Thanks!

Why is the “Reset” in the other-options of Nextgen not this tool?

Especially when the built-in reset has been known to break things, the reset-plugin is known to fix things and does a good job.

@programmin – The Reset Tool does the same thing as the Reset Option. Functionally there is no difference between the two. There are simply cases when the Reset Option is not available, for whatever reason, so we offer the Reset Tool in those cases.

Thanks!

I finally received the Reset Tool in my box, but it’s not doing anything after installing it.
Shoud I uninstall the next-gallery plugin first? Please, what is the order?
Removing everything, because, i’m not getting the Menu that’s supposed to pop out when hovering over plugin Gallery. I’m just getting Manage Tags as the first sub-menu. Where are they other submenus?
Thanks

@author:
I just checked the database, no table concerning next-gallery plugin.
Is it correct?

@ajp55 – IF you are only seeing the “Manage Tags” menu item then there is most likely a plugin conflict / permissions issue at play.

Deactivate *all* plugins. Reactivate NextGEN Gallery. Reactivate NextGEN Gallery Reset. Now, use the Reset Tool *twice* under Tools > NextGEN Gallery Reset.

If you are not seeing any tables in the database with *_ngg_* in them, that would be a completely different issue and not related to the Reset Option/Tool in any way.
