 * Hi,
 * I have recently migrated my site to a different domain using backup buddy. After
   migrating the site I had to reinstall the NextGen Gallery plugin on the new domain
   as it didn’t appear after the migration. I then uploaded my photos again in exactly
   the same way I did on the original domain and then added the shortcode into the
   page I wanted the gallery to appear.
 * For some reason though, when I view the page, I get a message where the gallery
   should be saying ‘sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here’. 
   The gallery doesn’t show so it seems the shortcode isn’t working.
 * Its strange because I am also using the NextGen gallery as a widget in my footer
   and the gallery is showing here.
 * Does anyone know what the problem could be here?
 * Thanks,
    Will

 * Double check your shortcode. It should reflects the ID, Name, or number of your
   gallery.
    If you have [ngengalery ID=3] from your old site, but now your gallery
   has the ID 1, it won’t be able to load anything.
