    Hi @sosuire,

    Your custom templates should be stored within wp-content\ngg\modules – a directory that NGG updates doesn’t rewrite so your custom templates are update safe.

    Thank for reply !

    I try this but I don’t see my custom template.
    I upload on this (file : perso3-view.php) :
    ngg/modules/photocrati-nextgen_basic_templates/templates/perso3-view.php
    I also try on :
    ngg/modules/photocrati-nextgen_basic_templates/templates/thumbnails/perso3-view.php

    But I only see the file I added on nextgen plugin files :

    wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_basic_gallery/templates/thumbnails/perso2-view.php

    (show my screenshot : https://i.ibb.co/2hF6CNX/Capture-d-cran-2023-01-09-150329.png)

    Where exactly I have to add it for see on the select view list ?
    Thank you

    Hi @sosuire,

    Please try to move your custom template to /ngg/modules/photocrati-nextgen_basic_gallery/templates then check again to see if that’ll appear under “Select View”.

    NextGen Gallery uses some sort of caching for the display type so lets try to force cleaning it first by adding ?1 ( https://example.com/?1 ) at the end of your page’s URL then try again to see if the view shows up.

    I have personally added such a view /wp-content/ngg/modules/photocrati-nextgen_basic_gallery/templates/mihai-view.php 10 minutes ago and it showed up while I’ve tried selecting the view for “Basic Thumbnails” gallery display type.

    I have add my template yesterday and it not appear on the select list. So how could I select it ?

    I try on shortcode to link to custom/perso-view.php :
    [ngg src=”galleries” ids=”2″ display=”basic_thumbnail” display_view=”custom/perso-view.php”]

    or

    [ngg src=”galleries” ids=”2″ display=”basic_thumbnail” display_view=”perso-view.php”]

    always the default-view.php is display, not my custom template :/

    Thank you

    Hi @sosuire

    You’ve initially specified that you’ve added the custom template to a different directory other than the one we’ve suggested:

    Wrong path: ngg/modules/photocrati-nextgen_basic_templates/templates/perso3-view.php

    Correct path: ngg/modules/photocrati-nextgen_basic_gallery/templates/perso3-view.php

    Yes it’s a copy/past error (?). I was hoping this was the solution !!
    I do it on Correct path since yesterday :

    ngg/modules/photocrati-nextgen_basic_gallery/templates/perso3-view.php

    I try everywhere !! ^^

    ngg/modules/photocrati-nextgen_basic_gallery/templates/perso3-view.php

    ngg/modules/photocrati-nextgen_basic_gallery/perso3-view.php

    ngg/modules/photocrati-nextgen_basic_gallery/templates/thumbnails/perso3-view.php

    It never appear !

    Hi @sosuire,

    Hmm, that’s odd. Perhaps NextGen encounters an issue while trying to load the custom view. Could you please enable WP Debug to see if that’ll catch any open_basedir() related warnings/errors?
