# Template error message

 * Default Gallery Type Template
 * This is the default gallery type template, located in:
    /home10/silvere1/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_gallery_display/
   templates/index.php.
 * If you’re seeing this, it’s because the gallery type you selected has not provided
   a template of it’s own.
 * *****
 * I’m pretty sure we just had a Basic Thumbnail gallery, but I’ve been through 
   all gallery types changing the template and I still can’t see the galleries (
   which were working fine last time I looked – not sure how long they have been
   down, a client alerted me today).
 * Would appreciate any help with this, I’m not very good with this stuff!

 * [@silvereyesphoto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silvereyesphoto/) – Generally
   this error message is seen when a custom template is no longer available but 
   being used for the specific display.

 * [@photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) Thank you Cais.
   I haven’t used a custom template, from memory it was the basic thumbnails gallery
   with the carousel template, which I have confirmed is what is still in use. NextGen
   is up to date and I have been through the gallery settings and selected various
   templates to test them out but none work.
 * I’m not sure what my next step is?
 * Thanks for your help.

 * [@silvereyesphoto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silvereyesphoto/) – There
   could be a plugin conflict going on here or at least it should be ruled out. 
   Have you tried deactivating all of your plugins, clearing your browser cache (
   and site caches if you are using a caching plugin), then reactivating the NextGEN
   plugin?
 * If this fixes the problem then it was likely one of the deactivated plugins that
   was causing an issue. Now, retrace your steps activating each plugin and re-checking
   to see if the problem returns. If it does then that last activated plugin was
   probably the one. Keep reactivating and in most cases it is also best to keep
   checking after each plugin, sometimes there may be more than one plugin on a 
   site that will create an issue. If you do find one (or more) plugins causing 
   this problem we would greatly appreciate your feedback on them so the developers
   may address them as soon as they can.
 * Also to note, in rare cases it may be the theme itself that is causing a conflict
   so while you have just the NextGEN plugin activated you might consider temporarily
   switching to one of the default WordPress Twenty series themes and see if this
   corrects the issue as well.
 * If the problem still persists after all of this we would still want to know, 
   even more so, as we will still want to sort out the issue and may need additional
   details.
 * Thanks!

 * [@photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) Thank you Cais–
   deactivating and reactivating all of the plugins solved the problem. I didn’t
   realise this was a safe option (on WordPress in general), so thank you!
 * Really appreciate your help – I was completely lost! Our site is relatively low
   maintenance and we don’t have a great deal of knowledge beyond the basics of 
   setting up the site and the galleries, so we often miss simple issues like updates,
   and things like the simple fix you have provided above. We’ll remember this for
   next time!
 * The NextGen gallery has been fantastic, and thank you for your prompt and thorough
   responses. Our business is photography, so our site is pretty useless without
   your galleries 🙂

   it would really be appreciated as well if you have a few moments … if not, no
   worries, your kind words above are great to read as is!
