We're happy to announce our third update to NextGEN 2.0.0.

Thank you to all users who have been helping us diagnose and resolve the issues, and to each of the public beta testers who provided their very useful feedback and bug reports. We truly appreciate the support you have given us.

Instructions

Download NextGEN Gallery from WordPress.org or visit the Plugin page in your WordPress admin area to utilize the auto-update feature.

Caution and Issues

NextGEN Gallery 2.0.0 contained substantial changes to the plugin structure over the Legacy versions 1.9.x. NextGEN 2.0.14 builds on those changes, but if you are updating directly from 1.9.13 or earlier, there may be incompatibilities some third-party plugins/extension including mobile apps. If you update and have issues, you can always roll back to 1.9.13 following our rollback guide.

You should, as always but more so, consider back up your site (both server files & MySQL Database).

Changes:

  • NEW: Added the ability to override thumbnail settings for NextGEN Basic Albums
  • NEW: Shortcode Manager API, which ensures that shortcodes are outputted as intended
  • Changed: Re-added the ability to select the original image size for widgets
  • Fixed: Ensure that stylesheet url returned is correct for Windows hosts
  • Fixed: Broken links and lightbox effects with AJAX pagination
  • Fixed: Try to ensure that third-party plugins don't add content to our dynamic JS
  • Fixed: Improved reliability of iframely.js
  • Fixed: Ensure that urls are generated correctly in HTTPs environments
  • Fixed: Datamapper works correctly in environments where temporary tables aren't supported
  • Fixed: Fixed an issue with thickbox loading animation when home url differs from site url
