Topic: Easy way to transfer nextgen galleries over to juicebox?

Still using juicebox lite, but plan on purchasing pro, so this could be solved by doing that.

I need to transfer all galleries from nextgen to juicebox. I'm not looking to use nextgen IDs with juicebox because nextgen is causing server side issues and we must uninstall the plugin. But we have so many galleries that were posted with nextgen and we don't want to loose them.

Is this possible to do?

Re: Easy way to transfer nextgen galleries over to juicebox?

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to use images uploaded for NextGEN galleries in a WP-Juicebox gallery (other than to activate the NextGEN plugin and use the NextGEN Gallery Id in your gallery settings window).
WP-Juicebox is not designed to accept a folder of images as a source of images for a Juicebox gallery.
The plugin would need to be re-written to handle a new image source (which would also need to take into consideration thumbnails and captions).

You would need to either create new WP-Juicebox galleries by re-uploading the images to your Media Library or download all your images to your computer, create Juicebox galleries there and then upload them to your web server and embed them in your WordPress pages and posts manually.
