WPG2 Disabled and gallery2 removed.
Well for now my playing with gallery is over. It was killing the server due to out of control mysql queries. I intend try again but with a vanilla install and no WP integration. Glad I had not uploaded many pictures.
Gallery for WordPress
I am setting up gallery2 using the wpg2 plugin.
It works well without much playing around. You do have to either find a gallery theme that will fit with your wordpress theme or build one of your own. I have a bit more modification to the theme I am using in gallery before I will be happy with it. It is fine for now so I am leaving for later.
One note I would like to in case anyone else has an issue. I just did a wordpress upgrade and the site went down. The fix was to rename the wpg2 plugin folder and reactivate. For future upgrades I will disable wpg2 before the upgrade and re-enable\configure after.
