 * I’ve recently updated NextGen Gallery to the latest version, am using the latest
   version of WP (6.2) and the latest PHP version (8.2) and everytime I scan a folder
   for new images I now get the following error:
 * **TypeError thrown**
 * Cannot access offset of type string on string
 * Changing my PHP version to 8.0 or 8.1 does not help, and I can not roll back 
   any further! Please help?

 * Hi [@alexmoy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexmoy/),
 * Could you please try uploading an image to WP Media to see if that properly works
   and let us know here?

 * Hi. Uploading through the NGGallery plug in works, it seems to be when I upload
   via FTP and then scan folder for new images. I’ve not had this problem before
   now.
 * Uploading to WP Media through the admin works too

 * Hi [@alexmoy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexmoy/),
 * That’s odd. Could you please try to add by FTP a single low resolution image 
   to a gallery folder then scan that gallery to see if NGG will add it?
