We're happy to announce our first update to NextGEN 2.0.0.

Thank you to all users who have been helping us diagnose and resolve the issues, and to each of the public beta testers who provided their very useful feedback and bug reports.  We truly appreciate the support you have given us.

Instructions

Download NextGEN Gallery from WordPress.org or visit the Plugin page in your WordPress admin area to utilize the auto-update feature.

Caution and Issues

NextGEN Gallery 2.0.0 contained substantial changes to the plugin structure over the Legacy versions 1.9.x. NextGEN 2.0.7 builds on those changes, but if you are updating directly from 1.9.13 or earlier, there may be incompatibilities some third-party plugins/extension including mobile apps. If you update and have issues, you can always roll back to 1.9.13 following our rollback guide

You should, as always but more so, consider back up your site (both server files & MySQL Database).

  1. Hi, I’m the developer of the “NextGen Gallery Powertags” extension; after the NGG2 update, naturally, Powertags it’s completly unuseful. I would like to recreate Powertags (in a Pro version this time) for NGG2 and I like to know if there is some kind of developers documentation. Thanks

    1. Hi Mauro,

      We will be continuing to build developer documentation when we finish up with addressing all the known conflicts. Please subscribe to the developer news list so you can be notified when more is available.

  2. Hi,

    still no full support of a multisite environment?

    Cheers
    Joerg

    1. Hi Joerg, multisite support is on our list to include in a future update however fixing the known conflicts that users are experiencing is top priority

  3. where do I find a step by step tutorial on how to upgrade from 2.0.3 to 2.0.7?

    1. Hi Nick,

      Updating between official versions can be done through the auto update in your WordPress admin.

  4. Sorry, but I cannot find 2.0.7. Searching the WordPress plugin I only see 2.0.33.
    What do I do wrong?

    1. Hi Jolande,

      2.0.7 is now outdated so please upgrade to 2.0.33 which is the latest version at this moment in time.
