I installed Picture Gallery plugin: it was easy to use and setup, even if the configuration page is not organized in a perfect ways (is more like a list of options). I tested for myself some photos uploads and gallery view, it seemed fine so far. But then I noticed that my website didn’t look the same… I found that the cause was this plugin! In fact, disabling it, the issue dissappeared. I investigated this a little more: it does not help removing all plugin css from setup page. So I checked the main page and I found that it was filled up with <p></p> ! For the moment I can’t spend other time on this, hopefully I will re-enable the plugin to try to fix this issue.

As soon as I activated this plugin, my website disappeared! I can’t access the admin at all… the front end is missing. I’ve tried deleting the plugin via ftp, but its made no different. So now I have to figure out how to get my site up and running again!
