 * Hi
 * I have been asked to transfer a gallery of photos from a phpBB forum to my WP
   website. Photo Gallery looks to be the best way to display it, but I’m concerned
   over how to actually transfer it; it has approx 1500 photos in 100 or so albums,
   with many of the photos having their own description, as in [https://imgur.com/XEefyoN](https://imgur.com/XEefyoN).
   It can be exported to csv from the SQL database that controls it, with columns
   showing album name, album description, filename, author, description.
    My question
   is – is there any way this gallery, complete with folder structure etc, can be
   imported into Photo Gallery?
 * I’m not holding my breath . . .
    Thanks

 * Thanks for the reply; not what I _wanted_ to hear, but what I _expected_ to hear!
 * Looks like a long job ahead of me – I assume you can’t do it via any other plugin
   either, & anyway I wanted to use yours.
