Can’t use apostrophes in alt tags

    Any time I enter an apostrophe in an alt tag and save the gallery, it produces a 403 error.

    Removing the apostrophes causes the gallery to save fine. Image titles are unaffected.

    Hi @mnydigital,

    This looks like a false-positive in the ModSecurity module on your server. Usually, images’ titles containing single quotes can trigger it. You can either ensure that none of your images from the gallery contain single quotes or whitelist the rule.

    The rule causing it is rule number 77229500 or 229500, you need to ask your hosting company to remove that rule or create an exception, that is an old rule that dates back to NextGen version 2.x years ago and the issue was fixed back then.

    Please let us know if this will help
