Trying To Import Images Into Easy Gallery

Hello,
thanks for your question!
We do not use Advanced Custom Fields for our gallery.
Our gallery uses shortcodes (if you add a new gallery each time the shortcode will be different).
We will be making another major update to our plugin soon and there will be new galleries and plenty of new stuff. We will try to add the feature you want
The new update will come around the beginning of April
Documentation here

Kind regards,
Plamen

Hey @sjeslis,
We did a few tests with the galleries and everything works fine. What we did was use the built-in WordPress import menu, Tools > Export or Import
*The important thing is to specify that when importing posts, you must have the same editor Classic or Gutenberg
Example: site1.com using – (Classic editor) Tools > export posts with galleries
Example: site2.com using – (Classic editor) Tools > import

Kind regards,
Plamen

Not perfectly clear on what you tried. I have a CSV file that has URLs to our old picture PHP based gallery. I’m using WP All Import to parse that to pull key fields over into our WordPress site, e.g one row looks like:

HEADER ONLY -> “Concert”,”Band”,”GroupId”,”PicId”,”Description”,”Text”,”Image”

“ALCEST (Oslo, Norway, January 28th 2014)”,”ALCEST (Oslo, Norway, January 28th 2014)”,”287″,”5318″,”<p>Alcest, Hexvessel and The Fauns live at John Dee, Oslo, Norway, January 28th 2014</p>
<p>Photo:?Patrick Larsen Holseth</p>”,”<p>The Fauns live at John Dee, Oslo, Norway, January 28th 2014</p>
<p>Photo:?Patrick Larsen Holseth</p>”,”/images/pictures/Fauns2014-1.jpg”

Hi there,
thank you for the information!
It has now become clear that you are not exporting images from our plugin.
We plan to add this functionality to the new update coming soon to our plugin (This April)
Use the built-in WordPress tools to work seamlessly
– Dashboard
Tools > Export / Import
*Export > Posts > Select Categories, authors, and etc.
You can share links to the old site and the new site you are trying to make changes

Kind regards,
Plamen

Okay Plamen, thanks! We look forward to it.

Use the built-in WordPress tools to work seamlessly
– Dashboard
Tools > Export / Import
*Export > Posts > Select Categories, authors, and etc.

The old site is NOT a WordPress site, we just have a flat folder with image files in like the URL I gave you above.

Put these lines into a CSV file:

“ALCEST (Oslo, Norway, January 28th 2014)”,”ALCEST (Oslo, Norway, January 28th 2014)”,”287″,”5318″,”<p>Alcest, Hexvessel and The Fauns live at John Dee, Oslo, Norway, January 28th 2014</p>
<p>Photo:?Patrick Larsen Holseth</p>”,”<p>The Fauns live at John Dee, Oslo, Norway, January 28th 2014</p>
<p>Photo:?Patrick Larsen Holseth</p>”,”/images/pictures/Fauns2014-1.jpg”
“ALCEST (Oslo, Norway, January 28th 2014)”,”ALCEST (Oslo, Norway, January 28th 2014)”,”287″,”5319″,”<p>Alcest, Hexvessel and The Fauns live at John Dee, Oslo, Norway, January 28th 2014</p>
<p>Photo:?Patrick Larsen Holseth</p>”,”<p>Hexvessel live at John Dee, Oslo, Norway, January 28th 2014</p>
<p>Photo:?Patrick Larsen Holseth</p>”,”/images/pictures/Hexvessel2014-6.jpg”
“ALCEST (Oslo, Norway, January 28th 2014)”,”ALCEST (Oslo, Norway, January 28th 2014)”,”287″,”5320″,”<p>Alcest, Hexvessel and The Fauns live at John Dee, Oslo, Norway, January 28th 2014</p>
<p>Photo:?Patrick Larsen Holseth</p>”,”<p>Hexvessel live at John Dee, Oslo, Norway, January 28th 2014</p>
<p>Photo:?Patrick Larsen Holseth</p>”,”/images/pictures/Hexvessel2014-5.jpg”

Then test your new code by using WP All Import to import this into a gallery.

Hi there,
We already understand what is happening.
In that case, we will be adding this feature to the new update very soon.
Thank you very much for your time and attention

Kind regards,
Plamen
