Moving Nextgen

is this something that will be addressed in future releases?

@moddish – We do make reference to migration issues in our FAQ, specifically with reference to Lightbox Effects in this article: https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/galleries-opening-lightbox/

There is also a rare occurrence of URL issues that may be addressed by another forum users script. Here is a link to its Gist: https://gist.github.com/deltafactory/6789297

It was first noted in this post: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/nextgen-is-requesting-the-wrong-url-adress?replies=12

Hopefully that will help you sort out the migration issues you are seeing.

I have figured out how to do it, that’s not the problem, the problem is as a developer the time required to do it. I move around 3-4 sites a week and losing a half hour to a hour for each adds up fast.

Why isn’t this sites domain ( if you do need it to be stored seperatly instead of using the wordpress system to pull it dynamically it the options , edit in one location, and all other locations are updated.

this would be a serious issue for someone that doesn’t know there way around and could take them days to figure out with the current setup.

even as a developer I really can’t understand why its setup the way it is when it comes to domain names being recorded on install and no easy way to update the value. Not sure if this was an oversight or what but its something that should be addressed…especially in the pro version. MOST sites are developed on a test domain and finally moved to there final location, so this is something allot of people must be running into.

also, its not just the “advance settings” for the lightboxes. I have notices sometimes moving a site and fixing them address resolves the problem, other times files still use the old address even when advanced settings are updated, its kinda hit or miss and everytime I run into a miss it takes quite a bit of messing around to get it to work.
