 * This shortcode is no longer working after the last update.
    [nggallery id=169
   template=caption]
 * I’m getting this error message on all pages with this shortcode
    Fatal error:
   Cannot use string offset as an array in /var/www/vhosts/galleryartisans.co.nz/
   httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/
   nextgen_data/class.image_wrapper.php on line 271 – See more at: [http://galleryartisans.co.nz/paintings-gallery/fiona-hayward/#sthash.yhQSKcGG.dpuf](http://galleryartisans.co.nz/paintings-gallery/fiona-hayward/#sthash.yhQSKcGG.dpuf)
 * When I change the shortcode [nggallery id=169] the gallery displays correctly
   but I do need to see the captions
 * Please let me know how I can fix this.

 * I have temporarily sorted this problem by downgrading to NexGen Gallery version
   1.9.13
 * If you need to do the same check out this link

 * I did try upgrading to the latest beta version, but I was still getting the same
   fatal error

 * I hope this helps.

 * Hi – I’ve tested this short code on a couple of our test sites and it’s working
   fine on our side, though styling is a bit off. So I’m trying to figure out what
   would trigger an issue on your side.
 * [@web](https://wordpress.org/support/users/web/) Aesthetics: This is the only
   short code that stopped working properly?
 * [@marcin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcin/) – are you getting it using
   the same “template=caption” shortcode?
 * –
    Have you two done any kind of specific customizations to the template?

 * I didn’t try on that shortcode.
 * I had this error on
 * `[ngg_images album_ids="2" display_type="photocrati-nextgen_basic_compact_album"]`

 * And I didn’t do any special customization to template 😉
