I had this same problem. After upgrading wordpress to 5.3 as well as updating JQuery and PHP to the latest, everytime I would go to manage galleries the page would refresh and append a string to the URL in a loop. Eventually, the URL would get so long that you get a server error. The URL appendage has the “skipjs” just like in the above issues. I found a line of code in the NextGen GitHub repository that gave me a hint. If you define this variable, say in your functions.php file, then the looping URL appendage goes away:

define(‘NGG_JQUERY_CONFLICT_DETECTION’, FALSE);

It looks like there is something going on where NextGen is trying to indicate it should use a built-in version of JQuery and when it appends the URL, it gets stuck in a loop. Simply turning off conflict detection seems to have resolved the issue.

Here are the settings reported by the NextGen Gallery Overview page:

This is the same issue I reported last night. @aitken.jared In the header of your site, the NextGen script declarations are missing a “/” in the URL concatenation just after the FQDN. See code from your page header below:
