Title: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Multisite Compatibility?

I did search, and found both conflicting and inconclusive reports. * Thanks, * Mark Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) * [Tony Zeoli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonyzeoli/) * (@tonyzeoli) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-multisite-compatibility/#post-1744324) * Mark: * NextGen Gallery is multi-site compatible. * Once you install your sites, you’ll need to set the path in Super Admin – Next Gen Gallery – Gallery Path to: * > wp-content/blogs.dir/%BLOG_ID%/files/ * You must keep the trailing slash [“/”] at the end of “files/”. * If it doesn’t work properly at first, you should reset NextGen Gallery from its Options panel, then try it again. * I had a bit of a hard time making it work, but now it’s working fine. I am having an issue on one of my servers, which is not allowing the Flash uploader to work properly, but single uploads still works fine. * What will happen is that NextGen will autocreate Blog ID 1, once you set the path. NextGen will no longer point to wp-content/uploads/gallery. It will redirect to wp-content/blogs.dir/files/1/gallery or 2, 3, 4…etc…, depending on how many sites you’ve got. * [dave8057](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dave8057/) * (@dave8057) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-multisite-compatibility/#post-1744363) * Wow, great timing on this Q/A. Thanks Tony/Mark! * I was actually stumped on how to get the “Upload a Zip-File” option back in place and the Super Admin menu has that option available as well. * -dave * Thread Starter [markb1439](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markb1439/) * (@markb1439) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-multisite-compatibility/#post-1744415) * Tony, * Thank you so much! * Mark * Thread Starter [markb1439](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markb1439/) * (@markb1439) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-multisite-compatibility/#post-1744483) * BTW, should it be Network Activated, or should I use a plugin manager to allow all users to turn it on? * [cheezitman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cheezitman/) * (@cheezitman) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-multisite-compatibility/#post-1744547) * I’m getting * > Please update the database of NextGEN Gallery.

I got the uploads working by disabling the Flash uploader, but no thumbnails still. When I clicked on “Edit thumb” in the gallery, I got an error about PHP needing the GD library. Installed that with: `sudo apt-get install php5-gd` * And now everything seems to work. Yay! * [Jotswana](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jotswana/) * (@jotswana) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-multisite-compatibility/#post-1744576) * The Upload is working fine now and the thumbnails get generated. My Only Problem is, that I can´t see the thumbs or the images from the backend or the wordpress page. The Link is somehow wrong: [http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/albumname/imagename.jpg](http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/albumname/imagename.jpg) * should be something like: [http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/files/albumname/imagename.jpg](http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/files/albumname/imagename.jpg) * I use the wordpress-mu-domain-mapping SnapIn. Probably this is the bad guy. Is there a way to relocate the file for http Requests? Should I write some mod_rewrite conditions? * [Jotswana](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jotswana/) * (@jotswana) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-multisite-compatibility/#post-1744577) * for anyone who is interested or having the same issue, here is the htaccess mod rewrite code that works for me: `RewriteRule ^wp-content/blogs\.dir/([0-9]+/)(.*) wp-content/$2 [L]` * [sitebuildernow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sitebuildernow/) * (@sitebuildernow) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-multisite-compatibility/#post-1744605) * Maybe someone can help – I have nextgen 1.7.4 on wp multi 3.1. My next gen galleries simply won’t create the thumbnails. It looks like it is – even says “100%” but the thumb folder remains empty. In an attempt to track the problem I tried “editing the thumbnail” from within the manage gallery area – I get these errors (below) I thought maybe they would give one of you gurus a hint as to what my problem could be (my guess is these errors are a result of no thumbnail being in the directory but…? * Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg() [function.imagecreatefromjpeg]: gd-jpeg, libjpeg: recoverable error: Premature end of JPEG file in /home/****/public_html/wp-content/ plugins/nextgen-gallery/lib/gd.thumbnail.inc.php on line 357 * Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg() [function.imagecreatefromjpeg]: ‘/home/****/public_html/ wp-content/blogs.dir/5/files/kitchen-bath/Thompson_Left_Side_Kitchen.jpg’ is not a valid JPEG file in /home/betterwe/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen- gallery/lib/gd.thumbnail.inc.php on line 357 * Warning: Division by zero in /home/****/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen- gallery/lib/gd.thumbnail.inc.php on line 569 * Warning: Division by zero in /home/****/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen- gallery/lib/gd.thumbnail.inc.php on line 595 * Warning: imagecreatetruecolor() [function.imagecreatetruecolor]: Invalid image dimensions in /home/****/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/lib/gd. thumbnail.inc.php on line 861 * Warning: Division by zero in /home/****/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen- gallery/admin/edit-thumbnail.php on line 42 * [JohannaK](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lemonfig/) * (@lemonfig) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-multisite-compatibility/#post-1744617) * Hi, I don’t know if anybody had the same problem: I have NextGen installed on a Multisite, and everything works fine except if I click on the pagination… * If I click on “2”, the link is “?nggpage=2&page_id=2” so it seems, not to go on the page 2 of the gallery but to go into page 2 of the site. * Anybody has the same issue?
