 * I just upgraded wordpress to 2.7 and also, the nextgen plugin to latest 1.2.0.
   However, after the above upgrades, any new albums I create, the script will not
   generate thumbnails. I can see text and frame around the picture, but if you 
   click on it, you can see the picture. Any albums created prior to upgrades are
   not affected for some reason. I can see thumbnails just fine.
 * I have read similar threads on this forum, but no one has suggested solution 
   to this problem.
 * Here is my server config.

    * Server : LiteSpeed * Memory usage : 14.45 MByte*

 * I am having the exact same problem with my install as well. I started from scratch
   with my first WP install. I am using WP 2.7.1, I am using these plugins as well
   if that is helpful; NextGEN Gallery 1.2.1, Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu 3.1.3.3.7,
   Twitter for WordPress 1.9.3,WPtouch iPhone Theme 1.8.4. The following are my 
   server settings; I am hopeful for a solution as I very much want to use this 
   plugin’.

 * Please look at this thread : [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242075?replies=51](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242075?replies=51)
 * There exist various solution, very often it’s a memory issue

 * I checked it out already, and there is not one solid solution unless you have
   to rig it to a point where the plugin becomes inefficient.
 * How do you explain thumbs that were created no problems before the upgrade?
 * Also, how do you explain where numerous people are having the same issue?
 * It is not the memory issue because with 2.6.5 and pre 2.7 version of ngg gallery
   worked fine with the current set up.

   of people are having same issue.
