Title: Corrupted plugin? Last modified: April 12, 2021 --- # Corrupted plugin? * Resolved [walmon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/walmon/) * (@walmon) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/corrupted-plugin/) * Hi guys, * Just to let you know I am having issues with this plugin. I have tried to download it and when I try to activate it my WP admin panel on the left doesn’t work anymore. Anything I click on there re-directs me to my homepage in WP environment. * I had to go into cpanel and delete the plugin manually to resolve the issue. * Any word of advise? * Thank you.

Every update it just gets worse and worse. I think it has to do with SSL and security but I have no idea how to fix it so I can’t use the plugin. Thanks as well for any advice you can provide. * [PolyWogg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/polywogg/) * (@polywogg) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/corrupted-plugin/#post-14310084) * As a fellow user, I have found that some of these gremlins depend on the security plugin you’re running. I often try disabling the security plugin, running the NGG update or at least loading it, and then re-enabling the security plugin. I’m convinced there’s some basic setting in AIO (for example in their firewall for 5G lists) that blocks NGG from installing/updating properly. With it disabled, I run NGG, open the side bar once, re-enable security, and after that both co- exist perfectly. If I do it ANY other way, I can unpredictable results. * Good luck, * PolyWogg * Thread Starter [walmon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/walmon/) * (@walmon) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/corrupted-plugin/#post-14311462) * Hi [@polywogg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/polywogg/) and thank you for your suggestion. * Unfortunately I tried to deactivate the security plugin as you suggested and re-installing/re-activating NGG but I’m having the same issue. * I think I will just stay clear of this plugin, it seems that it has some serious issues. * Thanks, WalMon * [Gabriel – Imagely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabrielimagely/) * (@gabrielimagely) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/corrupted-plugin/#post-14319810) * Hi there 👋 * This kind of problem is usually caused by either a conflict with another plugin. The best way to determine this is to: * 1. Disable all plugins. 2. Temporarily switch your theme to a WordPress default one like Twenty-Twenty. 3. Repeat the action that is causing the problem. In your case, try to activate NextGEN Gallery. * If you’re not seeing the same problem after completing the conflict test, then you know the problem was with the plugins and/or theme you deactivated. To figure out which plugin is causing the problem, reactivate your other plugins one by one, testing after each until you find the one causing conflict. * Before you start * First, please make sure you have a good backup in place of your full site and database. Most hosting companies have this included in the subscription, but you could also consider using a service like Jetpack. If something goes wrong, it’s nice to know that you can restore your site. * Second, I would suggest installing a plugin called Health Check & Troubleshooting. This is a plugin developed by the WordPress community and it allows you to disable plugins without affecting your current site visitors. * Let me know how it goes 🙂 * [nehagrover027](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nehagrover027/) * (@nehagrover027) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/corrupted-plugin/#post-14328982) * Having the same issues. Please let me know if anyone gets a fix of this. * Thread Starter [walmon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/walmon/) * (@walmon) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/corrupted-plugin/#post-14330843) * Hello [@gabrielimagely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabrielimagely/) * Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to this thread. * Although I am very appreciative of your guidance and suggestions, I think it is very much an inconvenience to go through all the steps you’ve suggested in order to fix this issue. In fact, I think it is due to the NGG staff to sort out the conflict problem. * The plugins I have are all essentials plugins, which I need in order to operate my website. * Therefore an easier option was to uninstall NGG and download the Envira plugin which works perfectly and has similar features to NGG. That was quick and easy. [@nehagrover027](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nehagrover027/) I would suggest you do the same. * Thank you for your time again, WalMon Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Corrupted plugin?’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/nextgen-gallery/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2083961) * [Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery](https://wordpress.org/plugins/nextgen-gallery/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/nextgen-gallery/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/nextgen-gallery/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/nextgen-gallery/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/nextgen-gallery/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/nextgen-gallery/reviews/) ## Tags * [corrupted](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/corrupted/) * [file](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/file/) * 6 replies * 5 participants * Last reply from: [walmon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/walmon/) * Last activity: [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/corrupted-plugin/#post-14330843) * Status: resolved
