Updating from 2.1.7 to 2.1.23 fails

@sjakubinek – You may need to re-install NextGEN Gallery rather than update it as the method you are seeing generally indicates a file was not properly removed by the WordPress update routine.

This will likely require you remove the /nextgen-gallery/ folder (ONLY) from under /wp-content/plugins/ then go under Plugins > Add New … Search for “NextGEN Gallery” to re-install and re-activate the plugin. This will not affect your images, galleries, album, etc. as it is very similar to the WordPress update process itself.

Thanks!

Similiar problem, another file:
Die Datei konnte nicht kopiert werden. nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_addgallery_page/static/plupload-2.1.1/jquery.plupload.queue/css/jquery.plupload.queue.min.css

@sjakubinek – Did you remove the /nextgen-gallery/ folder via FTP? If yes, do you have any sort of caching service on your site/server … you may also need to turn that off temporarily.

Thanks!

No, I removed it via RDP and it’s definately gone. Check that more than once.

If it helps: It’s my own server and I have administrator access/role.

I downloaded the .zip from here and extracted it on the server into the right place. It seems to run now. Anyway, it would have been really cool, to be able to update it via WordPress itself, like before.

@sjakubinek – I would expect future updates to work just fine … the file(s) your server kept tripping over are no longer included.
