NextGen Gallery insert function hangs since wordpress 3.2.1 update

  • I’ve been trying for a week to use insert NextGen gallery into I pages/posts. This function has caused a page hang (spinning wheel) ever since the wordpress 3.2.1 upgrade. I have checked the other posts on my site with NextGen and all seems to be well on that end. But it is now problematic that I can’t use the plugin after I’ve uploaded all those images for editorial. Please help if you can!

  • Check PHP’s error log and make sure the GD library is enabled, if so make sure that “file_uploads” are enabled (file_uploads = On) and the “upload_max_filesize” is set high (upload_max_filesize = 1024M). If you make any changes, restart Apache so they take effect, which I go over below.

    However, there is a bit of an untraceable error in here having to do with PHP’s “memory_limit” setting. I noticed the error in the preview image of the watermark. Located in “Options” > “Watermark” is where you can replicate this ( Error Image ).

    (Note: Contact your hosting provider for help if you use shared hosting and/or don’t have access to the shell)
    FIX:

    1. Edit your “php.ini” file (php settings) and increase the “memory_limit” setting to whatever you are comfortable with. I changed mine to memory_limit = 2048M since I have a lot of memory to spare.
    2. Restart Apache so the changes take effect (For LAMP either “service httpd restart” or “/etc/init.d/apache2 restart” depending on OS)
    3. Re-upload the images and everything should be fine.

    Hopefully that helps! Good luck!

    I can confirm this error, that has been described by stylemom.

    I think, this is no memory-error. All other functions like uploads etc. work well. Just the dropdown is not working and shows the spinning wheel, but no gallery-names.
