all albums/photos to new site

i will have wppa set up in the new site with same settings

I did this to make the new doc site https://www.wppa.nl

– Filesystem copy (ftp) ../wp-comntent/uploads/wppa/* to the new location
– Also …/wp-content/uploads/wppa-source/*
– Export – import db tables WPPA_ALBUMS, WPPA_PHOTOS, WPPA_RATING, WPPA_COMMENTS, WPPA_IPTC, WPPA_EXIF, WPPA_INDEX

Be careful with export-import: use a method that works even when de sequence order of db fields of the new db tables is different from the old.

I initially used .csv, but got .csv files without headers what mixed up the fields in the tables, so i used the export to a php script; that worked.

To copy the settings:
– Table VIII-A2 creates a backup of the settings. Move this file (…/wp-content/wppa-depot/[username]/settings.bak) to the corresponding new location and VIII-A3 Load settimngs: —restore backup— there.

After that, verify (and possibly correct) Table IX-B17, IX-H3, Verify Table XII first part.
You may need to change and set back Table IV-A18 and IX-H14

ok, so i am in the process, but so- when i go to upload the two folders what does the “*” mean in your instructions?

– Filesystem copy (ftp) ../wp-comntent/uploads/wppa/* to the new location
– Also …/wp-content/uploads/wppa-source/*

right now i am uploading via ftp the wppa and the wppa-source to the locations as follows:

…/wp-content/uploads/

there was no ‘wppa-source’ there yet, so that one looks like it will go in nicely, but there was a ‘wppa’ there… but i am to replace that ‘wppa’ with my uploaded ‘wppa’ yes?

so i did all to your instructions, and just keeps saying “The cats system needs to be converted. Please run Photo Albums -> Settings admin page Table VIII-B17” but i run it and nothing changes.

and there is this message too… Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 130968 bytes) in /home/smile/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 2376

../wp-comntent/uploads/wppa/* means ../wp-comntent/uploads/wppa/ with all the files in this folder.
If a folder already exists, overwrite the content with your stuff.

What are you doing when this errormessage appears?

trying to view albums on back end under “Album Admin”

Try set Table IX-B6.2: Photo admin page size to 20 or 50

still giving error at 50

also, this message is still in admin page: ” The cats system needs to be converted. Please run Photo Albums -> Settings admin page Table VIII-B17″ even though i have run B17 over and over.

also, some files , when searched on front end will show all info except the photo. but in the superview box those photos show, why dont they show when searched?

ctually the thumbs show but no larger file on some of them

and, i cant search for photos from back end , that function is missing

also, when i try running cats fix, it only says 22 when there is really over 100 albums?

none of the photos show in slideshows now. only thumbs

For search to work, run Table VIII-A8 and A9 ( not at the same time! )
