 * Uh oh.. NextCellent has vanished from the WordPress.org plugin library and no
   update from the author for awhile 🙁 . Hope it doesn’t die.

 * What’s a good replacement without going back to rubbish NextGEN?

 * The plugin currently is down due insecurity reasons.
    When the plugin is fixed
   it will be up. Our apoligies for the delay.

 * We would like to know, should we migrate to another plugin? If the plugin is 
   insecure, we need information and we act upon that. Of course we would like an
   update, but if we don’t get it, we need to move to another plugins.

 * I agree with previous messages. We are all unaware of whether this plug-in will
   be updated. If yes, then when? Your plugin makes fewer requests to the database
   and therefore the page is generated much faster than when using Nextgen Gallery
   2. But if the security problem is unlikely to be resolved within a reasonable
   time, I will need to switch on NG2. Please let us know if there will be an security
   update…

 * Any news on NextCellent?
 * I’ve been having a few problems but worked around it by only using shortcodes
   and single pictures. I was waiting (hoping) for an update.
 * What is happening? I’ve just NextCellent on several sites with thousands of pictures.

 * Apparently we’re all now looking for an alternative to Nextgen AND Nextcellent.
 * It’s been 3 months since the developer last replied, and there’s nothing anywhere
   online (that I can find) of another fork or whatever.
 * This was SUCH a nice little stable gallery plug-in, and like many other people
   I have it running on several websites.
 * Very sad to see this one vanish from the WP plug-in repository, and apparently(
   judging by the lack of developer response) gone for good…

 * Thanks Nosferatuvn but that is another plugin. NextCellent is a fork of the old
   NextGen. Some of us prefer it for different reasons.

 * Hi there, this is the current Nextcellent status:
    I’ve added few fixes needed
   for running Nextcellent with the last WordPress version. Also I’m fixing several
   vulnerabilities, some of them VERY serious. WordPress reviewers were very kind
   pointing me the issues so far. Some (minor) functionality will be cut in the 
   next version in order of getting the release working properly.
 * Finally, every time I found a vulnerabilty, I’m ending up finding more things
   to fix, making this release painful to finish.
 * I’ve been promising a new version July 1st, but it will take two or three days
   more. My apologies for the delay. Stay tuned!

 * It’s a very good news.
    Nice to read you.

 * Good news indeed, if true. I recall a similar post in December 2016, so will 
   hold my breathe with some hope and see what happens this week.
 * I’ve been experimenting with moving back to NextGen Gallery but have found that
   NextCellent and NextGen appear to handle custom sized (array) featured thumbnail
   images in a different way, which means images added under NextCellent like this“
   the_post_thumbnail( array(330, 400) );” won’t display when you re-enable NextGen(
   I’d have to manually re-apply the featured images to thousands of posts in order
   to overcome this).
 * However otherwise NextGen does now handle featured images properly, including
   WPs new auto-resizing codes for responsive design, which is something that NextCellent
   doesn’t seem able to do. Still I’d rather keep using NextCellent as it’s both
   faster and more lightweight for my server.
