 * hi, would love to get this working but so far no luck.
    thumbnail directory remains
   empty at wp-content/gallery/…/thumbs despite successful picture upload. tried
   rebuilding on a single image and on a batch.
 * have tried the memory upgrade tip from mr. vssser (i.e. uncommenting the 128mb
   limit), and double checked folder permissions many times.
 * my install is multi-user, and i’ve explicitly specified the gallery directory(
   wp-content/gallery), and tried switching to imagemagick libraries, to no avail.
 * grateful for any pointers.
 * here are my server settings (on hostgator):

 * Hi,
 * I’m facing the same problem. Until now I did not succeed with downgrading nextgen
   gallery. The tumbnails are still missing. Also editing thumbnails will not work.
 * Any hints would be appreciated.

 * Hey,
 * here I could workaround this issue by disabling the wp-minify plugin. Important:
   really disable the wp-minify plugin, it’s not sufficient to disable all options
   of wp-minify.

 * thanks.
    I’ve disabled all other plugins and still have the same problem, unfortunately.
