27 Oct 2018Does the Plus or Pro version of NextGEN Gallery offer a Bold or Italic Button in the description so we don’t have to know HTML?

29 Oct 2018HTML is required for the description block at the moment. That could change in the future though.

1 May 2019Does the newest version of NextGEN gallery pro or plus include a serch box for visitors?
Scott Wyden Kivowitz
1 May 2019No, it does not but there are a few third-party plugins which add a search widget. We’re also planning on one in the future, but there are a bunch of other features which are a priority right now.
