Update 3.5.X crashes because of missing nggdb methods

Hello @dansart!

The search_for_galleries() method was removed because it was no longer used by NextGEN itself, and the 3.50 release was focused on removing legacy aspects that were no longer needed or necessary – my apologies for the inconvenience.

You can search the available galleries by keyword using your own search; how exactly depends on how you were using that method. I would recommend starting with something like this:

global $wpdb;

$search_term  = 'something';

// Trim quotes and whitespace
$search_term = trim( $search_term, "\"'\n\r" );

$result  = $wpdb->get_results(
	$wpdb->prepare(
		"SELECT * FROM {$wpdb->nggallery} WHERE title LIKE %s OR galdesc LIKE %s ORDER BY title ASC",
		[
			'%' . $wpdb->esc_like( $search_term ) . '%',
			'%' . $wpdb->esc_like( $search_term ) . '%',
		]
	)
);

Hi
Thanks a lot for the answer. I managed to make it work again.
Best, Daniel
