gallery doesn't work after transferring site to new domain name (3 posts)

    Hi, With the help of the forum, i've mostly managed to transfer my site to a new domain name. However, I have ftp'd my 'old' gallery folder into the new site, but it isn't recognising it? In the galery control panel it just says, no images, gallerys or albums. The pages exist on the blog, but it is almost like a link is missing?
    I have already exported the old xml file and imported into the new site - does anyone know how I can get the site to recognise the gallery's?
    Any advice greatly appreciated.
    for reference; old site
    http://andyaughey.freeiz.com
    new site;
    http://www.landscapeandlightphotography.com
    thanks
    Andy

    I wonder if the problem might be literal paths that still point to the old server? That's one thing to check, anyway.

    You can use this plugin to find out:
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/

    Run it for search-only and see if there are any hard-coded URL's from the old domain name.

    Thanks Michael,
    I have installed and run the search, (ticked all the boxes) but it hasn't found anything relating to freeiz.
