[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Default path for galleries not found

  • NextGEN Gallery version 1.9.10 at https://alancarterstudio.com

    Changed the default directory for galleries on hosting server from wp-content/gallery/ to wp-content/portfolio/.

    Also changed the Gallery path on the Options page from wp-content/gallery/ to wp-content/portfolio/. Both the directory structure on the Hosting server and the Gallery path on the Options match. whenever trying to upload, receive the error messages:

    “Warning: opendir (XXXX/wp-content/gallery/larger-pieces) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /XXXX/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/admin/functions.php on line 237″

    and

    “Unable to write to directory /XXXX/wp-content/gallery/larger-pieces. Is this directory writable by the server?”

    CHMOD on the hosting server’s folder is 777.

    Any ideas?

  • Did you re-name via cpanel ?

    I think I tried ages ago to make directories via FTP and nggallery ignored.

    Try re-naming back to gallery. Then use nggallery to create the porfolio gallery. Then use cpanel to copy the directories over to the porfolio directory.

    Finally re-name gallery directory to something else, then make sure the gallery path is correct in the options.

    Good luck.

    I followed your steps as described and I am still receiving the same error messages. Not sure what to try next.

    When you rename to gallery are you still able to upload pictures ?

    You made sure to make the new directory using nggallery ?

    Gallery->Add Gallery/ Images

    The error on line 237 of functions.php looks at the directory name. If the directory wasn’t created with nggallery I believe the directory will be ignored.

    Good luck.

    Thank you for all your help, but all I was able to do successfully was add an unnecessary directory level and have NextGen Gallery recognize it, so I went a different way. Front end and back end path don’t match any longer, I’ll simply instruct the website owner about the difference.

    Thank you for your help once again DoubleSixx, I really appreciate the help.

    Glad you were able to find a resolution.
