NextGen Gallery Conflict with iThemes Security *FIX/Notice to NEXTGEN author*

    After coming across an issue, when the plugins: iThemes Security Pro and NextGen Gallery by Photocrati are installed, where the reset password functionality for the main WordPress admin area no long works, I have stumbled across a fix which I think Photocrati may like to consider incorporating into a future release of NextGen.

    in v2.0.71 of NextGen, a fix was added to avoid issues with WordPress login, which was to exclude wp-login and wp-signup from being affected by Resource Manager.

    The trouble comes when you use a plugin such as iThemes Security, which allows you to rename the login page, and therefore this hardcoded exclusion no longer works.

    My fix was to add the unique login page name that I set in iThemes Security to the exclusion list in line 57 of:

    %plugin directory%/nextgen-gallery/non_pope/class.photocrati_resource_manager.php

    The password reset functionality now works correctly.

    I hope this is helpful to somebody, and I do hope Photocrati will check this out too, since it involves editing core plugin files, and otherwise, updating will become a problem!

    Thanks

    Ben

    @benyoung – Have you looked at inserting the following into your theme’s functions.php file:

    add_filter( 'run_ngg_resource_manager', '__return_false' );

    Thanks!
