   are aware of this issue and will be addressing it. Can you describe the environment
   conditions you are using as this is not commonly seen?
 * Thanks!

 * Sure here are a few details, let me know if you want to know anything else. It
   could just possibly connected to the fact I’m concatenating scripts (with autoptimize)
   so in the meantime I’ll check that:
 * WordPress
    version 4.5.2 WP_DEBUG true WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY true WP_DEBUG_LOG false
   SCRIPT_DEBUG false WP_CACHE true CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS undefined COMPRESS_SCRIPTS
   undefined COMPRESS_CSS undefined WP_LOCAL_DEV undefined Server software Apache
   version 2.4.12
 * PHP
    version 5.5.24

 * FYI: you can disable Autoptimize on a per-request basis by simply adding `?ao_noptimize
   =1` to the URL (but I doubt this is an AO issue) 🙂

 * [@benattenborough](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benattenborough/) – You
   might have some headway with setting WP_DEBUG to false but even this is not a
   real solution as we develop with WP_DEBUG set to true and do not see this issue
   ourselves although we have a good understanding on what to consider to help reduce/
   remove the issue itself.
 * I’m not seeing “autoptimize” as part of the issue as well as we are looking at
   our own package optimizations before we release the plugin.
 * Thanks!

 * I think I’ve tracked what might be causing the problem. I use version control
   for my local install of wordpress. I ignore all plugins apart from my own, but
   I noticed this plugin adds directories to wp-content directory. I wonder if when
   I’ve pushed my local install to live if it’s done something with these directories.
   I’ll have a look and see.

 * Okay.
    I tried fully deleting the plugin and the ngg folder within wp-content
   and reinstalling. I still get these warnings. I’ve tried doing this on a fresh
   install and also get these errors.
 * It should be noted that these errors are PHP warnings. I only see them because
   I’ve installed [query monitor](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/)
   which shows warnings which would otherwise be suppressed. The plugin actually
   works fine but clearly these little errors may have a performance impact.
 * The second point is that I *think* it would be better to put the ngg folder either
   within the plugin folder or within the uploads folder so that by default it isn’t
   tracked by developers using version control. Alternatively warn users in the 
   documentation (if you don’t already) about the ngg folder and recommend it isn’t
   tracked.
 * I see some plugins including ewwww place folders outside their plugin directory.
   Presumably there is a reason for that, although it seems a bad practice given
   the version control issue I’ve highlighted – but I’m not an expert so I accept
   I could be wrong.
 * I hope that’s helpful.

 * I suppose, thinking about it, I could just track specific directories within 
   wp-content instead of tracking all, but I didn’t realise that plugins sometimes
   add their own directories inside it.

 * [@benattenborough](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benattenborough/) – Although
   we are still reviewing this issue as part of this latest release cycle for NextGEN
   Gallery your changes to the configuration of your query monitor might also be
   good to work with as well.
 * Thanks for the updates!

 * I fixed the bug causing the excess CPU/PHP lag in my version.
 * Simply wrapping the contents of load() in base_module class with a file_exists
   query boosts the performance by 500-1500ms in most cases in the back end and 
   front end.
 * It’s a temporary solution though whilst we wait for your patched code.
 * I’ve fixed about 15 sites that come to a grinding halt with the plugin turned
   on so far.
 * Anything from PHP 5.4 to 7.0 all has the same problem happening even with error
   logging turned off and error display turned off PHP is still wasting a lot of
   resources dealing with the uncaught error just to not display it or log it after
   compiling the information.
 * Hope this helps you guys.
