    Hi
    I have tried twice (once this week, once a month ago or so), to add the nextgen-gallery pluggin (using the wp-admin/plugins.php interface) to a site running WP 4.4.2.
    In both cases, this broke the site (only a blank page, no access to wp-admin page anymore, and the pluggin has to be remove manually to get back to normal.
    The list below describes the system.
    Thanks for your help

    @lewisiscrazy – There is at least one if not more plugin conflicts that are causing this to happen. There has been a known issue created by EWWW Optimizer, which might be the case here.

    Have you tried deactivating _all_ of your plugins, clearing your browser cache (and site caches if you are using a caching plugin), then reactivating the NextGEN plugin?

    If this fixes the problem then it was likely one of the deactivated plugins that was causing an issue. Now, retrace your steps activating each plugin and re-checking to see if the problem returns. If it does then that last activated plugin was probably the one. Keep reactivating and in most cases it is also best to keep checking after each plugin, sometimes there may be more than one plugin on a site that will create an issue. If you do find one (or more) plugins causing this problem we would greatly appreciate your feedback on them so the developers may address them as soon as they can.

    Also to note, in rare cases it may be the theme itself that is causing a conflict so while you have just the NextGEN plugin activated you might consider temporarily switching to one of the default WordPress Twenty series themes and see if this corrects the issue as well.

    If the problem still persists after all of this we would still want to know, even more so, as we will still want to sort out the issue and may need additional details.

    Thanks!

    Using an FTP client, there’s many free for all Operating Systems (Google). Connect to your site and in the root directory look for the following file.

    wp-config.php

    Download it and open your wp-config.php file and look for :

    define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);

    Change it to :

    define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);

    Save and upload back to your site.

    Goto your site via web browser, or refresh or reload. If you reload or refresh hold down your shift key (by pass your cache).

    You should see error message(s) about which plug in is causing the problem. Then you might need to disable and reload the page.

    When you finally get your site working again open your wp-config.php file and change :

    define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);

    to

    define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);

    Good luck.

    The fresh install goes smoothly after I removed EWWW Image Optimizer 2.5.9

    So I guess that NextGen Gallery and EWWW Image Optimizer are not compatible.

    Thanks for the advice
