all albums/photos to new site

i am now rebuilding the photos from source files, that seems to be helping to get them displayed in slideshows… but album admin screen is still broken and ‘cats’ conversion wont work

This works! https://www.smilemosaic.com/albums/wppaspec/oc1/lnen/cv0/ab95/pt11035

i am now rebuilding the photos from source files

A very good decision!

How many albums are there totally?

Are you sure you moved db table wp_wppa_albums correctly?

Can you give me alogin with administrator rights (temporary) ?
mail to opajaap at opajaap dot nl

yes, will give rights now

just sent email , let me know if you need cpanel backend php myadmin rights too?

Thanx for the login

The albums db table is corrupt.
The sequence order is wrong: not all values are in the right coluns.

You initially created this table when there were less columns, and later on columns are added.
So you have the problem i warned for in the documentation.

Try to find a different way to export the album table data, NOT a .csv file, but preferrably as a phpscript. This says to what fields the data has to be stored.

You need to OVERWRITE existing data, OR do a DROP TABLE first, and
either:
– a setup ( Table VIII-A1 ) to recreate the table,
OR
– import the data and let the db import create the table (if you have this option)

if you need cpanel backend php myadmin rights too?

If you cant fix it, yes, including instructions where the from db is, and where the to db is.
I can work on it tomorrow, its 5 o clock here, sunday, and my wife needs my attention…

ok..

so i will try to export almub database file from previous site as somethign other then csv…. but my choices show… php array… so i will try that. thanks

ok thanks

looks like i figured it out…

This is what seemed to work:
1. dropped table
2. reinitialized plugin
3. imported to database albums table as a .csv file BUT this time i checked off “first row contains field names” then i had to import a 2nd time, same file, but this time i had to say “skip rows starting with 1”
MAybe that is why columns werent lining up?

so i think i am good. Thanks!

Great!

Check the photos db table on the smae possible issue!!

oh no, now, somehow, i cannot access my dashboard in wordpress. even signed in as an admin…

the site bar shows at top but wont open to access.
can you try your signon?
