NextGEN auto-inserts wp_head & wp_footer

  • We’re using the NGG for most of our sites and this happened with every single one we updated:
    NextGEN Gallery is adding wp_head and wp_footer automatically – even though they don’t exist in our themes. A little background on this: We usually don’t use wp_head & wp_footer simply to cut the clutter. But now wp_head() and wp_footer() are auto-inserted in our themes without asking… does anyone know how to fix this without going head-first into the plugins code? ??

    Thanks and greetings from Switzerland

    Seems like NGG is searching for the closing </head> and </body> tags.
    If I put a space before the closing bracket (</head >) it doesn’t detect the tag correctly and doesn’t auto-inject wp_head() & wp_footer()

    Edit: Found the culprit… it’s class.photocrati_resource_manager.php, function name is move_resources(). It doesn’t check if there is a wp_head() and/or wp_footer().

    Additional info: Yes, we are aware that leaving out wp_head() & wp_footer() can lead to serious incompatibilities with many plugins.

    Just wanted to bump this thread as it is still not resolved and/or noticed.

    It would be great if NGG wouldn’t alter a theme’s code and instead would use a hook for this kind of functionality.

    In my opinion a simple warning would be enough. Someone who leaves out wp_head() and wp_footer (on purpose) should know how to handle the consequences ??

    I’ve been leaving wp_head() and wp_footer() on purpose (to create an email template) – all working well until the admin toolbar and random scripts started appearing recently.

    I’ve taken to trying to dequeue all the scripts and styles but still not getting rid of everything.

    Is this something that might be fixed in the future? Or should I find a way to disable NGG on this page?

    @scherii and @matt Rose – We have been working on the “resource manager” for our next release. If you are still seeing issues afterward we would greatly appreciate if you could submit a Bug Report (https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/) so we could look at these specific issues more closely.

    Thanks!

    – Cais.
