## Description

Imagine you have used NextGEN 2.x for a while, but decide it doesn’t float your 
boat. It’s too slow, or doesn’t work, or …

The next step you want to do is convert to NextCellent. However, what about those
NextGEN tags in all your posts? This plugin will convert those to normal NextCellent
shortcodes.

Please note that this plugin is in BETA. Make a back-up before you run it.

The plugin supports and converts following shortcodes:

 * Galleries
 * Slideshows
 * Imagebrowser
 * Albums
 * Random images
 * Recent images
 * Tag clouds (only for galleries)

The plugin ignores the following:

 * Templates
 * Custom options (not all, but most)

If you have a basic gallery display from NextGEN with multiple galleries, you can
choose to convert them to an album.

#### Use

If you want to preview what it would be, you can select the add as filter option.
This will dynamically convert your posts before they are displayed, but will not
save anything (and won’t convert to albums). This is ideal if you have just switched
and want your galleries to keep working, or you want to see what the result would
be.

If you are satisfied, you can begin actually converting the posts, since the option
above isn’t great for speed. Read through the options, MAKE A BACKUP, and start 
converting.

 * PHP 5.4 and up
 * WordPress 4.0 and up
