Export / Import Gallery

    Hello, i want to import all gallery from my site https://www.technikart.com/category/loeil-de-technikart/ using your plug-in since many years.
    My new site is now using zeen theme on https://mydigitalproduct.fr
    I want to export / import about 700 gallerys. I understand that there isn’t any viable solution to do it ?
    Also your plug-in doesn’t works well on my new site. On the support of my new theme they said this :

    I spent a few hours researching and this is 100% due to the plugin’s code… they have lots and lots of legacy code, as well as code with bad WordPress practises.

    The cause of the issue is that they are doing this:

    Since WordPress 3.3, wp_print_scripts should not be used to enqueue styles or scripts.
    Which is to do with this:

    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/wp_print_scripts

    The only way to fix the problem is that they update their code to load script files the correct way. They are doing it the way that is now incorrect (since WordPress 3.3), it is happening in:

    nextgen-gallery/non_pope/class.photocrati_resource_manager.php

    Line 103 and 109.

    Unfortunately there is literally nothing I or the theme can do to help with this as it’s deep in the plugin and the way they have it coded. But as further reference for that plugin, the moment I activated the plugin, I saw multiple core WordPress errors (you need to enable debug mode to see them) and these errors are related to changes from WordPress version 3.9, such as:

    ( ! ) Notice: wpdb::prepare was called incorrectly. The query argument of wpdb::prepare() must have a placeholder. Please see Debugging” class=”redactor-linkify-object”>https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Debugging_in_WordPress”>Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 3.9.0.) in /app/public/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4231

    This isn’t good and makes me think that the plugin was coded a very, very long time ago (They actually have code in their plugin checking for PHP version 4!!!), but has never been updated to modern standards and WordPress practises since.

    My advice is to not use the plugin any more and to instead find a modern one.

    I find it very disappointing and discouraging.

    Any solution ???

    Hi @juliannirapra,

    I would be glad to help. You will find below the Basic Migration Outline:

    On origin site:

    • create a full verified backup of the site (all files and the entire database)
    • clear transients
    • copy all database tables
    • copy gallery folders and contents

    On destination site (WordPress default installation):

    • ensure NextGEN Gallery plugin(s) are installed (and activated)
    • paste gallery folders and contents
    • paste (overwrite) all database tables
    • clear transients
    • optional, use Reset Option under Gallery > Other Options

    As for the wp_print_scripts function call, I am almost sure that it is being used for the backwards compatibility purpose and shouldn’t actually cause any conflicts with the current WP standards. Please verify with your hosting providers that your domain supports the following requirements: https://www.imagely.com/docs/requirements/

    Thanks but it doesn’t solve my problem witch is that my Zeen theme can’t anymore load his “tipi builder”… (to edit pages)

    Hi @juliannirapra

    Would you mind if we address first the problem with the plugin itself?
    Then you can ask again about migrating your galleries.

    We want to share this information with our developers.
    Would that be ok?

    We may need to deactivate plugins and switch the theme while troubleshooting temporarily. Would you feel OK with that? If so, please send us a bug report here: https://www.imagely.com/report-bug, refer back to this forum thread and let them know Gaby referred you.

    Thanks!

    – Gaby, Customer Support.

    Because it has been a month or more since your last reply, I am going to mark this as resolved as I assume you have found a solution. Please feel free to reply again if you still have questions.

    Hello,

    I’m preparing to a migration.
    Why should i export all the data base ?
    I have an other site which is already online so i can’t juste export all data base and import it because it will crash my new site.
    Is there some prefix to export only ? Like “wp_ngg” ?

    Thanks
