   Hello,

   In an effort to move a blog site to a new domain name, I simply copied the contents, etc. from the old site into the new one. I did the following:
   1. copied the old site's wp-content to the new site directly into my server files via FTP
   2. exported files from the old site and imported them into the new site using the export/import tool on the wp sites
   3. used a plugin called Velvet Blues to automatically change the url's from the old site's address to the new site

   My problem is that all of the work I did in my plugins on the old site did not import into the new site. For example, I set up several galleries in Nextgen and it shows empty on the new site. I can see the photos in my server files (under wp-content - galleries), but it does not appear at all in the site.

   Questions:
   1. Is there a way to copy/import your plugins from one site to the other with full content? If so what steps am I missing?

   Thank you for your time.

   Ollie
