[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] cannot add/edit Description or Alt & Title text

  • Using WP 2.7 and Gallery 0.98

    My client recently found she can no longer edit or add description text or Alt & Title text when managing galleries. I’ve checked this myself and I can type in the appropriate boxes next to the thumbnails, then when I click “save changes” it DOES tell you “update successful” but the new text is not there, nor does it show up on the live site. no error is given.

  • I was having the exact same problem. This started about a week or so ago. I upgraded to NextGen Gallery v1.1.0 and it fixed the problem.

    thanks for your response! I did try to upgrade, however it broke the structure of the site. unfortunately i don’t recall if it fixed the problem or not, but I’ll give it another shot and see if that works…

    What happened? I am using v1.2.1 (the latest) and have the same problem. ??

    I have found at least a temporary solution by removing ‘attribute_escape()’ from the ‘update_pictures()‘ function located in the ‘wp-content\plugins\nextgen-gallery\admin\manage.php’ .

    I have used raw $_POST array instead.

    So basically this 3 lines:

    $nggdescription = attribute_escape( $_POST['description'] );
$nggalttext = attribute_escape( $_POST['alttext'] );
$nggexclude = attribute_escape( $_POST['exclude'] );

    Should look like this after removing ‘attribute_escape’:

    $nggdescription = $_POST['description'];
$nggalttext = $_POST['alttext'];
$nggexclude = $_POST['exclude'];

    Let me know if this solution works for you.

    it’s not working for me… sorry ??

    has anyone found a solution for this????? I am having the same problem. I am using the latest version 1.3.5.

    All image titles and descriptions keep disappearing.
