NextGen breaks Admin Widgets page

  • I’ve discovered that NextGen Gallery 2.0.65, when activated, breaks the Widgets page in Admin in WordPress 3.9.1. Here are the particulars:
    I am running WordPress 3.9.1 as a Multisite (I have not tried this on a normal, single site installation yet).
    I have disabled all plugins from both network plugins and for the individual site.

    I tested this on the unaltered twentyfourteen theme that comes with WordPress 3.9.1

    I tried deleting NextGen and all its database tables, then reinstalling it from scratch.

    In the rendered code of the Admin Widgets page, I see an exception being thrown within
    div#available-widgets => div#widget-6_ngg-mrssw-__i__ => div.widget-inside => form => div.widget-content

    The next line is (i replaced my account name with ******:

    <h1>RuntimeException thrown</h1><p>/home/******/public_html/iasite-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/widget/form_mediarss.php is not a valid MVC template</p>

    and the rest of the page fails to load.

    I just realized that although I tried to create as close to a default install state as possible, I previously had used iThemes security plugin to change the name of my wp-content folder to ‘iasite-content’ but even with iThemes security deactivated, everything else works fine (the content directory name was altered in wp-config and that line remains even after iThemes security is deactivated), so I’m wondering if this could be related to the problem.

    Note that I would be happy to NOT have the rss widget at all…is there a way to just turn it off?

    @cvc1968 – This could definitely be related to the renamed /wp-content/ folder … and we are looking at possible solutions to other issues that may sort this one out for our next (significant) release.

    As to “turning off” the widget (which we have not see this issue with before), there is no option to do that and it would require modifying the core plugin files which we do not recommend.

    – Cais.
