Hi @tokyoprogressive5,
What do you mean exactly? Sorry, I didn’t get it 🙂 Looks like you really want to move your images out of WordPress, but I am not sure it’s a good idea.
Ok. I see your point.
I have Meow Gallery installed on paularenson.org. But recently I became concerned about number of files and tested Vimeotheque and Photonics (which also does videos from Vimeo and photos from Smugmug.
At first I considered offloading but as you write, it is complex and risky. But anyway, to test Photonics, I needed to delete or inactivate the Meow Litebox.
I was testing on another domain but still I got this error message.
MEOW LITEBOX Error You cannot delete plugin (from the new site) while it is active on the main site.
Very confusing.
Well, in doing so, I first got rid of Meow Gallery but still the Litebox remains.
I was testing on another domain but still I got this error message.

This is not an error from the Meow Lightbox. I don’t mind you disable, or delete the plugin 😉 I don’t do anything against it.
This is from WordPress. Maybe you are using a multisite, and one of the site has the plugin still enabled and you try to delete it from the main site? That might be that reason.
