Title: [Plugin: File Gallery] plugin disappeared after WordPress migration Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: File Gallery] plugin disappeared after WordPress migration * Resolved [Mark Dalderup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/2grafik/) * (@2grafik) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-file-gallery-plugin-disappeared-after-wordpress-migration/) * I just moved my WordPress install from online to a local setup with xamp. but somehow the gallery’s from file gallery stopped using the css files I made. So I just saved the settings page again because with most plug-in’s that will do the trick. But now the whole plugin disappeared(the files are still there they just don’t show up on the posts and pages anymore except for the main media settings page.) On my pages it just says 0 instead of showing a gallery and if you look on the edit pages it doesn’t show the file gallery settings box with all the attachments. If you use the standard [gallery] tag it will also say 0 instead of showing a gallery. any idea what is causing this behavior?. most of the time these things are caused by one wrong setting in the database which got garbled in the migration process or something but I can’t find it I use WordPress 3.3 and file gallery 1.7 * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/file-gallery/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/file-gallery/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [Aesqe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aesqe/) * (@aesqe) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-file-gallery-plugin-disappeared-after-wordpress-migration/#post-2455757) * [@2grafik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/2grafik/): when you say “But now the whole plugin disappeared”, do you mean it’s not visible on the plugins page, it’s not on the available plugins list? If it is on the list, try deactivating it and then activating it again. * I can’t think of any reason why File Gallery would behave that way 😐 * Thread Starter [Mark Dalderup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/2grafik/) * (@2grafik) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-file-gallery-plugin-disappeared-after-wordpress-migration/#post-2455764) * sorry I was unclear about that, the plugin didn’t disappear, what I meant was that the metabox on the edit page of a post or page isn’t visible. * the files are still in the pluggin folder and the plugin shows up in the plugin list and I just noticed the pluggin updates too. * I just checked everything again and I found the following things: * it seems that the migration set a lot of functions to off or 0 which are on in the default settings like showing the metabox and the Replacement text for galleries within post excerpts. I assumed that if that was the case a deactivation and activation or re-install would solve that problem and reset everything to default. but that didn’t happen * when I checked the “Display galleries within post excerpts?” box, which was also set to unchecked in the migration the galleries suddenly did show up, when I unchecked it they disappeared again. * the problem is that if you uncheck “Display galleries within post excerpts?” the galleries won’t show up in pages, it will show the text for excerpts,(which was also set to 0 so I assumed that was some weird error) I checked it with my live site and there it works the same. I just didn’t notice it before because when I installed the plugin the first time one of the first things I did was check that box. Almost all my galleries are on pages so I didn’t notice the galleries did work on posts ( only checked the overview page and not a full post). * is it suppose to work that way or is this a bug? * Plugin Author [Aesqe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aesqe/) * (@aesqe) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-file-gallery-plugin-disappeared-after-wordpress-migration/#post-2455797) * This is a bug, yep 😀 * File Gallery is checking “is_single()” instead of “is_singular()”. * I’ll release another bugfix release (v1.7.2) tomorrow. * Thread Starter [Mark Dalderup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/2grafik/) * (@2grafik) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-file-gallery-plugin-disappeared-after-wordpress-migration/#post-2455801) * Oke thanks glad I could help, I will install the bugfix and report back if there any problems * [foreclosurefraudnews](https://wordpress.org/support/users/foreclosurefraudnews/) * (@foreclosurefraudnews) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-file-gallery-plugin-disappeared-after-wordpress-migration/#post-2455842) * I’m having the same problem… Any word on the update or how i can fix it myself? * I’ve scanned the entire code and I can’t find is_single() * Plugin Author [Aesqe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aesqe/) * (@aesqe) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-file-gallery-plugin-disappeared-after-wordpress-migration/#post-2455843) * File Gallery v1.7.2 is out and this issue should be fixed.
