Title: Nextgen update causes blank screen Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Nextgen update causes blank screen * [Sheona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sheona/) * (@sheona) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-update-causes-blank-screen-1/) * Hi, the latest update for NextGen that I attempted on my site resulted in a white blank screen across the board – no dashboard access, nothing. I’ve managed to deactivate the plugin (and others), all are happy reactivated except NextGen, which causes the blank screen all over again. * I’d like this fixed ideally, but if not, to be able to download version 2.0.74 which was working fine. NextGen’s own pages say it’s possible to rollback, but there’s no way to download old versions from the WordPress plugin page. * Please can someone help?

Rolling back to an earlier NextGen while keeping the updates on the others didn’t work, so I guess it must be one of them. I’ve reloaded my entire site from before the updates – don’t know whether I’m brave enough to try them individually and see what happens. Unless you’ve got specific suggestions about how to do this, I might just leave it there! * Thanks again, Sheona * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-update-causes-blank-screen-1/#post-5852891) * [@sheona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sheona/) – We use Contact Form 7 ourselves so I doubt the problem is specifically with it, the others I am not familiar with so I do not have any suggestions at the moment. * – Cais. * [leftofcentre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leftofcentre/) * (@leftofcentre) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-update-causes-blank-screen-1/#post-5852892) * Just to let you know I also get the same problem. NextGen causes the whole site to go blank. Everything was working fine. I will try turning other plugins off and on. * [leftofcentre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leftofcentre/) * (@leftofcentre) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-update-causes-blank-screen-1/#post-5852894) * OK for me the conflict seems to be with this plugin: [http://plugins.righthere.com/white-label-branding/](http://plugins.righthere.com/white-label-branding/) * I will let the authors know. * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-update-causes-blank-screen-1/#post-5852895) * [@leftofcentre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leftofcentre/) – Thanks for your update and passing on the information you found to the other authors but please keep in mind it would still be best (at least for future issues) to start your own topic for issues you are seeing. * – Cais. * Thread Starter [Sheona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sheona/) * (@sheona) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-update-causes-blank-screen-1/#post-5852913) * Well now I’m not sure it’s a conflict – from the reload of my site with 3 plugins needing updating (where it all seemed to be working fine), I deactivated them all and then tried only the NextGen update, but the same blank screen happened. * If there’s further info. on this, and what you need to diagnose the issue, I’d be happy to follow up. Otherwise thanks for your help to get me this far! * Sheona * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-update-causes-blank-screen-1/#post-5852927) * [@sheona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sheona/) – So you have everything up-to-date on your site and you are still seeing this issue … you also see the problem if you temporarily switch to a default WordPress Twenty series theme, clear *all* caches, deactivate *all* plugins, then re-activate NextGEN Gallery only? * – Cais. * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-update-causes-blank-screen-1/#post-5852937) * [@sheona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sheona/) – We just released a new public beta which might help you along as well … or at least you might take it into consideration as we expect to release it as the next stable version very soon. * Here is a link: [http://nextgen-gallery.com/nextgen-gallery-latest-beta/](http://nextgen-gallery.com/nextgen-gallery-latest-beta/) * Thanks! * – Cais. * [marionh92](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marionh92/) * (@marionh92) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-update-causes-blank-screen-1/#post-5852945) * Hello, my side, the conflict was created by the plugin Google Analytics by Yoast I desactivated it and now it works Could you please check that for the next Nextgen version??
