Upload not working, downgrade required.

After several tests, the new version is less intuitive for the user.

In order to upload images, now you have to first create the gallery, then select it, and finally upload the images.

Previously this process was automatic.

Hi there, thanks for your answer. I did exactly what you wanted me to do. I created a new gallery. Selected it. Tried to upload 10 files and was not successful to upload the entire number of results.

My question was, I’t like to downgrade, where do I find older versions. Thank you.

Hello,
I’ve got the same problem on my site.
I open a new thread with more details.

Are you using PHP 8.0? We’ve just today released NextGEN 3.5.0 which fixes several PHP 8 compatibility issues, including one that could break image uploads.

To find older releases: you can see our release history on the Development tab of our plugin page and use those version numbers with the “Download” link above to find the URL of any past release zip: our new release is at https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/nextgen-gallery.3.5.0.zip but if you replace “3.5.0” with “3.3.20” you’ll get that version delivered.

Hi. My web hoster is running php version 7.4.13. is that version covered by the latest release of mfg 3.5.0. ?

Which older version so you recommend? Stable, and before major changes. Is it 3.3.20?

We are running ngg pro as well. Can you tell me how do I get the equivalent version? Not easy for me to get aligned with the support?

BTW. We have the same problems with uploading files. No longer reliable. We need some help here.

NextGEN Gallery is (or should be!) compatible with PHP 5.6 through 8.0; the only exception is PHP 7.0.26 and PHP 7.1.12 due to a short lived bug in PHP itself.

I don’t recommend people use anything but the latest release of NextGEN for security reasons, but the last release of NGG without the Uppy based uploader was 3.3.20.

If possible could you provide some debugging data for me? On the upload images page:
– Right click anywhere and select “Insect”
– Click on the “Network” tab, then the “XHR” tab below it
– Select some images, then click “Upload X files” button
– Select one of those new requests in the developer tools, then click the “Response” tab
– Then copy whatever is there to me here

I suspect that the server is generating an error that the uploader is meant to report but isn’t, or while we expect a specific formatted response we’re just getting an unformatted error. This can sometimes be caused by having WP_DEBUG on as PHP can mix warnings or notices into formatted JSON text.
