    I have NG 2.0.17 and wanted do update to 2.0.31 in hope that it would finally do some better.

    The update via WordPress-Dashbord did not work, it just did not finish unpacking the downloaded zip-File.
    The problem was mentioned in this thread by other users:
    http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/cant-update-to-2031?replies=3

    Plugin author said that the update hat to ben done manually via FTP. This does not work here!
    I downloaded and unpacked 2.0.31, uploaded it correctly vie Filezilla FTP, cleared browser cache and re-activated the Plugin.

    The version numer still is 2.0.17, so the update via FTP also failed.
    Same with rollbacks – I am stuck on 2.0.17! HELP!!

    Are you sure that you uploaded the NG version to the right place? That means, have you overwritten the new data files by the old one?

    In your file manager you can after actualizing see the time of the uploaded data files!

    The path I uploaded it to was /httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery and it asked me if I wanted to overwrite the old files (“yes – for all conflicts”).
    So for that I think I did it the right way.

    Do you turn your Pages into maintenance mode or deactivate all plugins before doing an FTP update??

    It’s enough deactivate the plugin that you are uploading
    Have you seen that all files has been transferred?
    Try again.

    I tried again.
    It sucessfully transferred and overwrote all 774 files.

    Still 2.0.17 🙁

    I made this procedure yesterday about 5 times. I always closed the browser, opened again and deleted after that the browser cache. If newly logged in to wordpress I deleted the cache of my wordpress environment using this following plugin: http://www.w3-edge.com/wordpress-plugins/w3-total-cache/ (as tizz says).. within wordpress: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/w3-total-cache/

    After that I went to plugins reactivated the NG Plugin and all worked fine again.

    Hope it will work now!

    The Downgrade worked! Thank you.

    Now I got a problem after the downgrade:

    All album information is lost. The pictures are still on the server, but all galleries “jumped out” of their Albums.

    Do I have to manually put back 250 galleries in 80 Albums now or is there kind of an “automatic solution”????

    I have a backup of my pages old version on 2.0.17.
    Does somebody know which file contains the information “gallery X ist part of album Y”. You would save me many hours of work!

    UPDATE:

    The problem only touched the galleries after the update on the 2. version! So only the galleries of the last 2 months. That means I can solve the problem within 1 hour or 1 1/2!

    Sorry for the spam 😉
