 * Hello
   My versions: WordPress 6.7.2, PHP 8.1, Nextgen Gallery v3.59.10. Twent 
   twenty five child theme.When I try to use a Nextgen image as NextGEN Featured
   Image, the image does not show (in the editor or in the web site).When I use 
   a normal features image from media gallery, it works well.Looking at the path
   of the image, I see the path is missing the “month” folder.As an example, this
   is the path to an image:wp-content\\uploads\2025\3\2-56374_4c2-150×150.jpgBut
   the link of the NextGEN Featured Image is not correct:  /wp-content/uploads/2025/
   2-56374_4c2-150×150.jpgThe month is missing.I could see a (closed) thread on 
   this forum, about this same problem:[http://www.wordpress.org/support/topic/potential-bug-in-set-featured-image-nextgen-gallery-function/](http://www.wordpress.org/support/topic/potential-bug-in-set-featured-image-nextgen-gallery-function/)
   But there is no information about a solution, I tried the code given in the last
   answer, but it didn’t work.Any suggestion of what I could do ?Thank youPatrice

 * Hello
 * I made a simple test today : I installed a new WordPress ( v6.7.2 ) and NextGen
   Gallery ( v 3.59.10 ) on my wampserver.
 * I have the same behaviour, I created a first gallery in Nextgen and added a few
   images in it. If I try to use one of these pictures as a NextGEN Featured Image
   in an article, the image does show at first in the preview in the article, but
   when the article is saved, the image is not shown any more.
 * Same problem, the path is wrong (missing month folder in the path).
 * So I am stuck and lost, what can I do ?
 * Thank you for your help.

   no answer to my question, I was starting to think the problem was on my side 
   and wondering what I could do.

 * Thank you again 🙂
