# Errors with Migrating From NextGen

 * Hello,
 * I am in-process of migrating from nextgen to FooGallery, using your migration
   tool. I have 73 existing NextGen galleries. After I finished the migration, I
   discovered that about half have errors, in that the images and description data
   did not appear to migrate, even though there are gallery “placeholders” in FooGallery.
   I can provide screen shots of this if you care to see them. 
   Please advise on
   how I can correct this issue, or what to troubleshoot. The Nextgen galleries 
   themselves were created at various times over the past six years, and galleries
   that did successfully migrate were created at the same times. So I don’t think
   there might be any common issue with the nextGen galleries.

 * hey [@redtravelmaster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redtravelmaster/)
 * screenshots showing exactly what data is missing would help. And also if there
   are any errors in your php error logs that are related would also help.
 * please also contact me directly – getting access to your site would speed things
   up a lot. Reach me here : Brad [at] FooPlugins [dot] com

 * This was resolved with v1.5 of the plugin, after making changes to the migrator
   plugin to handle large numbers of galleries with larger number of attachments.
