Thank you for sharing the error log – this explains the issue clearly.

This is not a bug in Gmedia Gallery. The error:

Duplicate entry ‘0’ for key ‘PRIMARY’

means that the wgm5_gmedia_term table has lost the AUTO_INCREMENT attribute on the primary key (term_id).

When WordPress tries to insert a new tag, MySQL falls back to 0 for the primary key. The first insert may create a row with ID 0, and every next insert then fails with the duplicate key error.

This usually happens after:

• a database migration / import-export (phpMyAdmin, hosting migration, backup restore), or
• a restore tool that didn’t recreate table attributes correctly.

The plugin creates this table correctly on install, so the schema was modified on the server side.

How to fix (please run on your database)

1. Verify the table schema

SHOW CREATE TABLE wgm5_gmedia_term;

Check that term_id contains AUTO_INCREMENT. If it does not, the table is broken.

2. Repair the table

/* Remove invalid row with ID 0 if it exists */
DELETE FROM wgm5_gmedia_term WHERE term_id = 0;

/* Restore AUTO_INCREMENT */
ALTER TABLE wgm5_gmedia_term 
MODIFY term_id BIGINT(20) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;

/* Reset the AUTO_INCREMENT counter (recommended) */
SET @max_id = (SELECT MAX(term_id) FROM wgm5_gmedia_term);
SET @sql = CONCAT('ALTER TABLE wgm5_gmedia_term AUTO_INCREMENT = ', IFNULL(@max_id, 0) + 1);
PREPARE stmt FROM @sql;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;

Once these steps are completed, adding new tags will work normally again.

Hi,

I’ve tested the tag creation flow on multiple sites and wasn’t able to reproduce the issue you described – adding new tags during upload, in library, and from the Gmedia → Tags page works as expected on my side.

To help me investigate further, could you please provide:

• Your WordPress version
• Your PHP version
• The exact error message
• Whether the issue happens in:
  • the Upload screen,
  • the Media editing screen,
  • the Tags page

Also, please try this quick check:

• Temporarily disable other plugins and switch to a default theme (e.g., Twenty Twenty-Four) to rule out conflicts.
• Clear any cache and try again.

With these details, I’ll be able to pinpoint whether this is an environment-specific issue or a plugin conflict and provide a fix if needed.

Yes, this is possible.

In AlbumsList Masonry, you can control exactly what is shown inside the Lightbox modal window.

Please go to edit your gallery:
AlbumsList Masonry → Modal Window Settings (Item Info & Share)

Then configure the options as follows:

• Uncheck: Show Exif Data
• (Optional) Uncheck: Show View/Likes/Comments
• (Optional) Uncheck: Show item date

This will leave only the Title and Description visible in the Lightbox, without camera details (EXIF) or other metadata.

After saving the settings, clear your cache and refresh the page to see the changes.

Hello, I’m pretty sure it is fixed with latest version. Please, try clear your browser cache and check again. Contact me via contact form https://codeasily.com/contact/ if it will not help.

Добрый день, установите/обновите модули для Gmedia Gallery плагина. Зайдите в Gmedia Modules и установите Phantom модуль и те, которые вам нужны для галерей.
