    Hi, I really sympathise with your frustration that after a year of work on upgrading your plugin the latest NG upgrade has rendered it unworkable.
    I’m impressed that your determined to crack this and wish you well. Your plugin’s great and I would really like to turn it back on asap, how will we know when you’ve managed to get it to work with this upgrade?
    Keep up the good work!

    Hi Kevin,

    Thank you very much for your kind and sympathetic words. I really appreciate it! ??

    This situation is indeed frustrating, however, I’m excited to say that Optimizer v2.0.1 is almost ready (complete with full compatibility for NextGEN v2.0.7x), and I expect to have it finished, fully-tested and ready for release next week.

    You’ll be able to see when this update is available via the plugins page (or update-core.php page) in your admin, or on Optimizer’s main plugin page here at www.remarpro.com.

    Unfortunately, as key parts of the NextGEN v2.0 API were completely removed (without any graceful deprecation or backwards-compatibility in place), NextGEN v2.0.7x has not only broken compatibility with Optimizer v2.0, but will also interfere with the update process to Optimizer v2.0.1 (as the fatal errors it has introduced prevent deactivation of Optimizer v2.0).

    I’ll prominently post a number of workarounds upon release, to help users running NextGEN v2.0.7x update to Optimizer v2.0.1, but the best bet for a smooth update would be to temporarily roll-back to the immediately-preceding stable release of NextGEN v2.0.66.37 (which you can also use in the meantime to bridge the gap in compatibility).

    Thanks again, and all the best!
    Mark.

    Hi again, Kevin.

    Just wanted to let you know personally that I’ve just finished releasing the major compatibility update of Optimizer v2.1, which now features (amongst many other things) full compatibility with the major update of NextGEN Gallery v2.0.71 (up to the current v2.0.77).

    For the full list of improvements and additions in Optimizer v2.1 (now too numerous for the originally-planned v2.0.1 point release), please see…
    https://www.nextgengalleryoptimizer.com/blog/nextgen-gallery-optimizer-v2-1-now-available/

    Fortunately, the fatal errors caused by NextGEN Gallery v2.0.71+ do not appear to have affected updates to Optimizer v2.1 (as I originally thought they would), so I would recommend just doing a regular 1-click update through your WordPress admin at your earliest convenience.

    I hope you like it ??

    All the best,
    Mark.
