Exception thrown autoupdate_admin_controller not defined for ExtensibleObject

    I’m posting this here because it look like NextGen Gallery may be the source of this error.

    Any attempt to open the dashboard or use any items in the administrative menubar results in a white page reading:

    Exception thrown
    autoupdate_admin_controller not defined for ExtensibleObject

    Viewing the installation on my host it looks as if something was changed in the “Pope” directory of NexGen Gallery yesterday. What was changed, I do not know. I have not updated the blog yet this week, so it wasn’t due to some activity of mine.

    I don’t know how to troubleshoot this or repair it, since the error locks me out of the Dashboard and the administrative functions.

    The website itself (from the visitors point of view) works as it should, although it seems sluggish. But I can’t add to it or make any changes.

    Any suggestions or help?
    Thanks.

    I fixed it by fiddling with the site for several hours.

    I suspect that a plugin called Nextgen Gallery Media Library Addon was the culprit. NextGen Gallery has been updated several times and the Media Library Addon has not been updated in a year. It may no longer be compatible. I deleted that plugin.

    But I also deleted several inactive plugins, updated everything that offered updates, emptied caches several times, including the caches on CloudFlare and MaxCDN, and reinstalled WordPress except for the wp-content folder.

    I had to rename the Photocrati theme folder numerous times to hid and unhide it and figured out a number of backdoor methods to access the guts of the site when the normal ways don’t work.

    Ultimately, I’m rather glad i did not have any “instant gratification” help. It took several hours of rooting around under the hood, but that’s the way I’ve learned most everything I know about everything, really. If there’s not a marked trail, make one.

    Great to hear @russell Cardwell ! Yep, that’s how I learned how to manage WordPress, trial and error ?? Really relieved to hear that everything is working well for you now. Thanks for the update!
