As of April 2026, NextGEN Gallery Image Chooser is a WordPress gallery plugin with 200 active installations and a 4.7/5 rating from 3 reviews. It has been downloaded 17K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 4.9.8+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2012. Top alternative: Smart Slider 3.
NextGEN Gallery (NGG) is an excellent gallery for WordPress. Its major drawback, as far as I’m concerned, is the minimalistic image chooser. So I’ve taken the liberty to adapt the equally excellent g2image image chooser, which also is embedded in the WPG2 connector to Gallery2.
This image chooser allows to browse through hierarchical albums and galleries, insert NGG tags for albums and galleries, as well as NGG and HTML tags for one or more images and thumbnails at a time.
