NextGEN Gallery 2.1.49 Now Available

whats-new-nextgen-gallery-plus-pro This is an important update for NextGEN Gallery as we're deprecating support for an outdated version of PHP, 5.2. There are many advantages to using recent PHP versions, like 5.5, 5.6 and 7.0.  If your host is using 5.2, please be sure to contact them and ask for an update. That will help your site speed, security and much more.

It's worth noting that WordPress itself is now requiring more recent versions as well. So we're not alone.

Enjoy the new NextGEN Overview page as well, designed by our CEO, Erick.
