[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Upgrade hanging – not completing

  • Trying to upgrade this plug in on a customer’s site after he got this message:

    The script detect that you upgrade from a older version. Your database tables for NextGEN Gallery is out-of-date, and must be upgraded before you can continue. If you would like to downgrade later, please make first a complete backup of your database and the images.

    But when I click the ‘start upgrade now’ link all I get is:

    Upgrade NextGEN Gallery

    Upgrade database structure…

    then nothing happens. Any ideas here?

    thanks

  • Not really… from which version do you upgrade ?

    I am having the exactly same problem. I am using WP 2.9.2 and, exactly as described above, it happened to me after upgrading to NextGen 1.5.0.

    I found this other post telling me to deactivate and activate it, or looking for $dbversion in a .php file and changing the version number, I tried all this stuff but nothing changes.

    I just don’t have any more access to the NextGen gallery, I am stuck with this neverending “Upgrade database structure”.

    I would be very grateful if anyone could help me over here. Alex?

    Thanks

    Well, I found a great solution, downgrade back to NextGen version 1.4.3 and thinking 100 times before doing a new upgrade…

    I hope this will help somenone with the same situation.

    From which version do you upgrade ?

    I am using WordPress 2.9.2 and upgraded from Nextgen Gallery 1.4.3 to 1.5.0 – Well, I tried to but I could never complete the upgrade just as described above…

    Any clue?

    Thanks…

    I am also using 2.9.2 and never upgraded, but did a fresh install of NextGen Gallery 1.5.2. Once I upgrade, I get the same message as if nothing happened.

    Below is the message I receive:

    Upgrade NextGEN Gallery

    The script detect that you upgrade from a older version. Your database tables for NextGEN Gallery is out-of-date, and must be upgraded before you can continue. If you would like to downgrade later, please make first a complete backup of your database and the images.

    The upgrade process may take a while, so please be patient.
    Start upgrade now…

    I am having a similar problem on a WorePress 2.9.2 installation. It’s a new installation, so I haven’t had NextGen installed before. When I try to install, WP tells me there was a fatal error, but the Gallery header appears in my sidebar. However, when I try to use NextGen, I get the same message about upgrading that everyone else does. If I update, it says update was successful but then returns to the message saying it needs to upgrade.
