[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] 2 different Gallery paths

Hello, I am currently shifting my old membership site to WP and I am facing a big problem with the gallery. I used to have two galleries in my nucleus blog – a free photo gallery inside the blog and another member’s gallery in separate members folder.

I realize that this will not be possible as the member’s folder is outside the WP folder and so no gallery can’t be installed there. Now I am thinking about how will I create the two gallery options inside WP.

So I wanted to ask you whether there is a way to have two different Gallery paths inside NextGEN where one would lead to the .com/blog/wp-content/gallery/ and the other to .com/members/gallery. If this is not possible, then I also want to ask whether it is possible to set the Gallery path outside WP folder into the members folder? If yes, then how should I do that?

Another option that might work for me would be to set the Gallery path to members folder and the thumbnails path to an unprotected folder inside WP so that people who wouldn’t be paid members would be able to see only the thumbnails but not the full photos. I would very much appreciate if you advise me on how this could be done… I have to add that I am very poor webmaster and I only now am starting to learn basics of php code :((. Thank you very much for your help! All the best from Misha
