    deltafactory I really much appreciate you code sharing !

    Wondferfull !

    it works perfectly !

    Thanks

    I also had to modify some other records.. here are my additions to the above PHP script:

    $data->css_stylesheets = $base_url . ‘/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/lightbox/static/jquery.lightbox/jquery.lightbox-0.5.css’;

    $data->scripts = $base_url . ‘/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/lightbox/static/jquery.lightbox/jquery.lightbox-0.5.min.js’;

    $data->guid = $base_url . ‘/?p=21’;

    I, however, still have an issue with my install that I can’t fix..

    Thanks @mpluss

    Hi guys,

    As a PHP novice i need some help.
    I saw the script created by deltafactory, but in the instructions “1. Copy code to a file in the root of your website.” I don’t know what to do, Which file?

    Can you help me

    Thanks in advance.

    @joao Calheiros – Thank you! That’s great to read.

    I missed mpluss’s post and started ploughing through the database and base64 decoding.

    Just look at Gallery > Other Options > Lightbox Effects > Advanced Options. A simple replacing of one for domain for another sorted this in about 30 seconds.

    Still don’t get why it had to be encoded though.

    @djdan, I believe certain characters, especially Unicode values are mangled during the process. The encoding protects the integrity of those values.

    In general, I agree: I think there are better mechanisms to store this data within the WordPress API.

    I don’t know if newer versions of NextGen have fixed this orphaned setting, which may be why your attempt worked.

    Good point @deltafactory – it seems to be a long running thread. Thanks for the explanation.

    I just went live with a site that was in a development directory. I used a script that runs through the database to change the URLs. The only thing that is screwed up is NextGen Gallery!

    When I go to Gallery > Other Options > Lightbox Effects > Advanced Options, I see the OLD URL listed. When I make the changes there and hit Save, it takes me to a 404 page. I am unable to make changes to these settings from NextGen’s menu. Thanks NextGen, really nice.

    I will have to look at the script mentioned in this thread to see if it will do the job. Will report back. Many thanks to everyone here that has chimed in with solutions… I would have been stuck without you guys!

    I face the same issues as mentioned here.
    Although it looks like everything is working, the site takes ages to initial load, and it is mentioning the old URL during this initial site load?

    Clean WordPress install / 1 Plugin = NextGen.

    WP 3.8.1 + NextGen 2.0.40

    Tried to remove the NextGen plugin and reinstall it, the old URL’s get back??? The db ‘holds’ the old values ‘somewhere’ ….

    Within the NextGen options, changed the settings, hit the SAVE button.

    Picture

    What does the SAVE button save, because the old values are still there?
    (sorry mpluss, your solution does NOT help me, the same as Space2Place.
    The URL is NOT changed although the page says ‘Saved succesfully’.)

    Tried the php fix of deltafactory (https://gist.github.com/deltafactory/6789297).
    Also this fix, does NOT change the following URL’s:
    – Stylesheet URL
    – Javascript URL
    Tried this with the plugin active or inactive, no changes are made.

    photocrati: it would be nice if you inform everybody here which solution you sent privately to Joao Calheiros (I sent a reply back to your Bug Report..)
    I still can’t change the old URL’s within the NextGen settings.

    How the …. you can change these?
    Even checked the DB, nowhere these URL’s can be found (or changed).
    Any other solution ready yet? Its getting annoying, this.

    Regards, DG.
