 * Hi [@stilweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stilweb/),
 * We are sorry for the inconveniences it created but we are just using WP’s sort
   library and there appears to be a newly introduced bug from WordPress 5.9
 * Apparently, this one is going to be fixed within WP 5.9.1 version: [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/54902](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/54902)
 * In the meantime it may worth trying to see if changing the sort order works for
   you while inserting NextGen Gallery modules into pages.

 * Hi [@stilweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stilweb/),
 * Just a heads-up that this problem got resolved from our side of things within
   the NGG 3.23 version.

 * It’s not rectified for me. I can’t sort a particular gallery in the back end 
   of Nextgen, or add any title or description. I still get a ‘403 Forbidden’ message.
 * Then I decided to move the existing images to a new gallery, but that didn’t 
   work either. Then I logged in via a different browser, but still get a 403 if
   I try to do anything with that gallery.
 * You can’t delete a gallery with that problem either, or any of the images.
 * Any ideas please?

 * Okay, since my post above I’ve had to completely re-create the gallery from scratch
   and upload from scratch too. That worked, but I can’t sort – well, I can in the
   back end but the front end thumbnails don’t show the images in the sorted order,
   they’re in any old order.
 * And I still can’t delete the old album that I’ve abandoned.

 * Hello…. is there anyone there from Imagely who can help with this please?
 * I’ve updated to the latest WordPress too (5.9.1), and still what shows in the
   back end of the site is not what appears in the gallery on the front end.

 * Hello Imagely. I seem to have been missed, can you help with this please? Everyone
   else seems to have had their queries answered.
