Hi @mrtopgun,

NextGen Gallery, unfortunately, doesn’t include a custom exporting/importing tool for the galleries so you’ll need to follow the basic migration outline to be able to copy over the needed files and database’s tables to your new site:

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

@trvsgrant,

Could you please let us know what hosting provider you use for your site?

As an experiment, you can try adding the following constant by FTP to your site’s wp-config.php file to see if that’ll change anything while uploading images with the latest version of NextGen Gallery:

define("NGG_DISABLE_IMAGICK", true);

Hi @sarahsas,

Thanks. This notice doesn’t seem to have to do with the issue you are getting.

After accessing your gallery from Manage Galleries, you can press F12 key to open the browser’s DevTools then access the Network tab, select"Fetch/XHR" filter then press to edit any of your thumbs and access the request that’ll appear ( it should look like edit-thumbnail.php?id=100) and finally access the Response sub-tab to see what’s the request’s return.

Perhaps that’ll provide you with some ideas on what’s happening. Sometimes that’s because of the site’s or hosting’s firewall blocking the request and in that case – you’d need to whitelist it.

You can re-size your images from "NextGen Gallery -> Manage Gallery" up to the needed size ( but that cannot exceed toe originals’ resolution ):

That’s odd. Could you make sure you press “Insert Gallery” button after doing changes?

In any case, here’s an example of shortcode that you can adapt for your own use:

[ngg src="galleries" ids="1" display="basic_thumbnail" images_per_page="4" number_of_columns="2"]

You can access "NextGen Gallery -> Gallery Settings -> Basic Thumbnails" then set the columns amount and the images per page from there for it to keep that setting every time when inserting a new NextGen Gallery block to a page.

Hi @alexander656,

Could you please let us know what lightbox effect you use? You can find that within "NextGen Gallery -> Other Options -> Lightbox Effects -> What lightbox would you like to use?"
