NextGen 2.0 Creating Global Redirects

Been getting exactly teh same issue with https://www.121dogtraining.hk
I only had one gallery so have deleted NextGenv2.0

Got links working again by deleting gallery folder

@decimus – Which gallery folder did you delete? The one that’s found at /wp-content/gallery? Please let me know. Edit: Also, did you delete NextGen Gallery completely or just the gallery folder in order to get your permalinks working again?

I have roughly 30 galleries in play and while it wouldn’t be too much of a pain to rebuild them, I’d rather not. The weird thing is that with the exception of a couple blog posts, my sandbox instance is an exact mirror of the live site. It’s odd to me that it works in one place and not the other.

@adoink: Just a note that we’ve added this our our developers issues list from your other thread.

@decimus: are you referring to deleting the /wp-conent/gallery folder? That’s the one that holds all your images and galleries, so you’d probably want to avoid deleting that one.

@photocrati – Thanks very much for adding that to your bug list. Please note that this happens with a fresh install of 2.0 and the error occurs regardless if Pro is enabled or not. I sent Becky access details yesterday in the advent you guys want to log in and see what’s happening. I’m suspicious that it’s an issue with the production database (the sandbox instance works perfectly) and not a conflict with another script or plugin as I’m not running anything that’s been identified as being an issue.

If you guys do end up logging in, please give me advance notice so I can let the client know work is being done and a few things may not operate as expected.

@photocrati – We’re now functional and I was correct with the issue being database related. Here’s what I found in comparing the sandbox instance with production –

• The row for permalinks had been completely deleted from the wp_options table. I have confirmed that this happens to my production site on install of the plugin
• NGG options were not correctly inserted to the database

While we are now functional, here are the issues I’m seeing while NGG 2.0 is active. Please keep in mind that whether or not Pro is active, the issues are the same.

• All hyperlinks turn bright blue and do not inherit the color specified in the CSS
• Text alignment in the footer does not inherit what’s in the CSS
• 30 – 50 pixels of space are inserted between nested divs and the CSS ignored
• On press of “Save” or “Update” in the admin panel, on refresh administrators are taken to a different page. For example, if you’re editing a template file in the editor and press save, on refresh you won’t see the template you were editing and instead the default “home” page of the editor which is most often the style.css file for the theme

All of these display errors are resolved when I deactivate NGG 2.0. Please note these issues are specific only to my production instance of the site. The sandbox does not show any of these errors at all. I haven’t been able to find any deeper disparity between the two databases aside from what’s mentioned above.

Any thoughts on why NGG would disable portions of the stylesheet?

@photocrati – Just quickly, here’s the console output on the production site when the plugin and extension are active.

Uncaught ReferenceError: Lazy_Resources is not defined www.mysite.net/:377

Another piece I just noticed is that when the plugin and extension are active, on first refresh of any page in the site, there’s an effort somewhere to change the MIME type of the images being served by the HTML, PHP, and CSS. This error is only visible within the first couple of times I refresh, and then the above is served to the console thereafter.

It looks like there’s somehow conflict between NGG 2.0, my theme (wp-creativix), and Contact Form 7…

And now there’s this output as well –

Uncaught ReferenceError: Lazy_Resources is not defined plugins.php?activate-multi=true&plugin_status=all&paged=1&s=:563

It looks like the packages I’ve downloaded are potentially missing directories, or there’s lingering reference to directories that belong to the previous iteration. Not one of the directories listed above actually live in my sandbox instance, so these errors are specific to production.

Thoughts?

The redirection issue has been resolved. Going to open another topic showing what I’m seeing now.

Hi I’ve got it all working now.

I have two sites with NextGen. The one with multiple galleries updated fine. The one with just one gallery corrupted!

In particular it was wp-content/gallery/

Side note: A clean install uses wp-content/galleries/

I ftped all the images from the old /gallery folder so it would be easy to recreate as I only had one gallery!

I uninstalled NetGen Gallery v2.0.

The uninstall left wp-content/gallery/

The problem I had was deleting the old wp-content/gallery/
It was if it had an infinite loop of folders inside folders. Hundreds and hundred deep! that had a copy of the main site. I think this is the reason why initially when one clicked any tab link on the site it always went back to the home page????

I eventually gave up trying to delete the folder and did an internet chat call with tech support at Bluehost who used some command line magic to delete the /gallery/ folder.

I did a clean install and it is all now working again.

Hope that helps

I had a similar issue where when NextGen gallery was activated (NextGen Pro was not a factor), all of my front-end links were resolving back to the homepage when using the permalink structure /%postname%/ oddly enough the default permalink structure setting is a work around, but not a good SEO practice. I believed this was caused by me removing the “Permalink slug” value of “nggallery” – /wp-admin/admin.php?page=ngg_other_options.

When I went to edit/save anything under “Other Options” after removing this value within the NextGen gallery setting, it would no longer save my revisions and then began redirected me to the homepage.

SOLUTION: What I did to resolve the issue is remove the set values in the wp_options table in the WordPress database under “wp_ngg_options”. Be sure to backup your database before hacking away like I did to find the issue.

This resolved the issue and only required me to once again update my “Other Options” setting which was a snap!
