I have isolated this bug in a dev environment with only the two plugins installed and enabled. Details were sent to https://www.imagely.com/report-bug. The issue still exists in the latest versions of both NextGen and WordPress.

I see this is a very common problem that has been reported since as early as 2008 since URL redirection was introduced in NextGen gallery plugin. I’m a software engineer and found a block of code from another user that indeed fixes the routing issues. Please update your plugin so that is not necessary to user workaround.

wp-content\plugins\nextgen-gallery\products\photocrati_nextgen\modules\third_party_compat\module.third_party_compat.php

        // WPML fix
        if (class_exists('SitePress')) {
            M_WordPress_Routing::$_use_canonical_redirect = FALSE;
            //M_WordPress_Routing::$_use_canonical_redirect = FALSE;
            M_WordPress_Routing::$_use_old_slugs = FALSE;
            add_action('template_redirect', array(&$this, 'fix_wpml_canonical_redirect'), 1);
        }

    function fix_buddypress_routing()
    {
        M_WordPress_Routing::$_use_canonical_redirect = FALSE;
        //M_WordPress_Routing::$_use_canonical_redirect = FALSE;

        return FALSE;
    }

    function fix_wpml_canonical_redirect()
    {
        M_WordPress_Routing::$_use_canonical_redirect = FALSE;
        //M_WordPress_Routing::$_use_canonical_redirect = FALSE;
        M_WordPress_Routing::$_use_old_slugs = FALSE;
    }

wp-content\plugins\nextgen-gallery\products\photocrati_nextgen\modules\wordpress_routing\module.wordpress_routing.php

class M_WordPress_Routing extends C_Base_Module
{
    static $_use_canonical_redirect = TRUE;
    //static $_use_canonical_redirect = TRUE;
    static $_use_old_slugs          = TRUE;

    function define($id = 'pope-module',

        // this is the proper behavior but it causes problems with WPML
        else {
            if (self::$_use_old_slugs) wp_old_slug_redirect();
            if (self::$_use_canonical_redirect) redirect_canonical();
            //if (self::$_use_canonical_redirect) redirect_canonical();
        }
    }

You basically have to comment out any lines of code that contains _use_canonical_redirect

I’d like to see this fix. The plugin looks to be very useful.
