 * Hi, I am trying to keep up with multiple gallery shows where we have 50 entries
   at a time. I would like to at least be able to upload from a csv file the artist
   name and description of the piece. I could attach them to the bulk image file
   upload manually.. I don’t see that next gen has the ability to upload records
   like that? Am I wrong?

 * Hi [@jefferisp7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jefferisp7/),
 * Great question. To migrate NextGen’s content, you will need to follow the **Basic
   Migration Outline**:
 * **On origin site:**
 * Create a full verified backup of the site (all files and the entire database)
   
   Clear transients Copy all database tables Copy gallery folders and contents
 * **On destination site (WordPress default installation):**
 * Ensure NextGEN Gallery plugin(s) are installed (and activated)
    Paste gallery
   folders and contents Paste (overwrite) all database tables Clear transients Optional,
   use Reset Option under Gallery > Other Options
 * Hope this helps,
    Mihai

 * Hi [@jefferisp7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jefferisp7/)
 * Apologies.
    We currently don’t have that option, but please, take some time and
   share that requirement with our “Feature Voting” form.
 * Another temporal solution to your current problem is to use our “Imagely Lightroom
   plugin” [https://www.imagely.com/wordpress-lightroom-plugin/](https://www.imagely.com/wordpress-lightroom-plugin/)
