What is Nextcellent?

  • NextCellent is a image gallery plugin, based on older NextGen gallery code

  • NextCellent provides an alternative for traditional NextGEN users to keep their sites updated without breaking compatibility.

  • Older subplugins NextGen-compatible will be compatible (prior NextGen 1.9.13 or earlier).

  • Compatibility issues? Please check NextCellent Wiki (in construction) http://wpgetready.com/wiki/nextcellent-plugin/

What do you get with NextCellent Gallery?

  • This is a compatibility branch with the older NextGen 1.9.13. As such, it will steadily improving and keeping update with software upgrades. For example, Nextcellent is not supporting Flash slideshow as 2017 for vulnerability reasons. In the same way Nextcellent should work fine with PHP 7.

  • Backward compatibility with NextGEN plugin version (1.9.13). When we say 'backward' we mean to software level: most filters, actions and shortcodes should work.

  • Slow evolving code path. Yep, you read it right: slow in counterpart as fast. Older code is good enough to keep a community and it worked (and works) for most people. Versions will rollup about once a month. There is another reason for that: we don't have resources to keep a fast pace. So we'll try to improve the code as much as possible, keeping a stable plugin instead developing new features here and there.

  • A reliable way to work with already installed NextGEN galleries.

  • Development on Bitbucket open to developers suggestions. (https://bitbucket.org/wpgetready/nextcellent). You are free to download , test and make suggestions and requests.

Being said that, here are the usual classic features:

NextCellent Gallery provides a powerful engine for uploading and managing galleries of images, with the ability to batch upload, import meta data, add/delete/rearrange/sort images, edit thumbnails, group galleries into albums, and more. It also provides two front-end display styles (slideshows and thumbnail galleries), both of which come with a wide array of options for controlling size, style, timing, transitions, controls, lightbox effects, and more.
