How to open WGP file?

Programs to open WGP file
Remember to download programs supporting WGP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WebHat Web Gallery with WGP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WGP file still does not use the WebHat Web Gallery program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WebHat Web Gallery application as the default for handling the WGP file.
Step 3. Update WebHat Web Gallery to the latest version
If, however, after binding WebHat Web Gallery with Web Gallery Project there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WGP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WGP file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WGP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected WGP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WGP file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WGP files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WGP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the WGP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WGP file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
