 * I like the new nextgen, but working on a site on a temporary location then moving
   the site has become a nightmare with nextgen, from hard coded urls etc instead
   of taking 5 minutes to move a site after coding im into it for 2 hours. there
   needs to be something done about this to help migrating.

 * [@moddish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moddish/) – We do make reference
   to migration issues in our FAQ, specifically with reference to Lightbox Effects
   in this article: [http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/galleries-opening-lightbox/](http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/galleries-opening-lightbox/)
 * There is also a rare occurrence of URL issues that may be addressed by another
   forum users script. Here is a link to its Gist: [https://gist.github.com/deltafactory/6789297](https://gist.github.com/deltafactory/6789297)
 * It was first noted in this post: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-is-requesting-the-wrong-url-adress?replies=12](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextgen-is-requesting-the-wrong-url-adress?replies=12)
 * Hopefully that will help you sort out the migration issues you are seeing.

 * I have figured out how to do it, that’s not the problem, the problem is as a 
   developer the time required to do it. I move around 3-4 sites a week and losing
   a half hour to a hour for each adds up fast.
 * Why isn’t this sites domain ( if you do need it to be stored seperatly instead
   of using the wordpress system to pull it dynamically it the options , edit in
   one location, and all other locations are updated.
 * this would be a serious issue for someone that doesn’t know there way around 
   and could take them days to figure out with the current setup.
 * even as a developer I really can’t understand why its setup the way it is when
   it comes to domain names being recorded on install and no easy way to update 
   the value. Not sure if this was an oversight or what but its something that should
   be addressed…especially in the pro version. MOST sites are developed on a test
   domain and finally moved to there final location, so this is something allot 
   of people must be running into.

 * also, its not just the “advance settings” for the lightboxes. I have notices 
   sometimes moving a site and fixing them address resolves the problem, other times
   files still use the old address even when advanced settings are updated, its 
   kinda hit or miss and everytime I run into a miss it takes quite a bit of messing
   around to get it to work.
