Image gallery transfer

    Hi all,

    I have a wordpress website with static image galleries. Under each image, there is a written description. Here is an example (in French) : https://goo.gl/5Ngw3W

    I have more than 3,500 photos published on more than 1,500 pages.

    I would like to create responsive WordPress galleries and link the images to their description.
    Here is what I am looking for: https://goo.gl/ZjySNZ

    Is there a way to create or use a simple plugin to create the new galleries instead of uploading all the pictures one by one (it would take me months)?

    Thank you.

    It depends on your gallery plugin and how the current images are related together. For example, the default WP gallery is merely a shortcode with a list of attachment IDs. Let’s assume each desired gallery is assigned a unique category term. One could make a one time script to get all category terms. For each one, query for related attachments, then from the results, generate the proper shortcode and insert a new post with the shortcode as content and the category term assigned to this new post.

    One time scripts can be manually started by placing them on a custom page template, then viewing the page. It’s usually desirable to include some mechanism to prevent automatic execution, such as outputting a “GO” button and only executing the script for POST requests generated by clicking the button.

    Thanks for the answer. So far, I have seen no plugin able to solve my problem.

    I guess the big issue is that nothing connects the images to the description so far.

    Another big issue is that i am a beginner with wordpress and coding. I don’t think I could do it by my own.

    I would be ready to pay for such a work. But if any support is available for me, thanks for the help and the advices!

    Nothing at all relates them? How were the pages for the screen grabs you posted generated? Obviously no script can do anything until there is some logical relationship. Once that’s been established, you could hire someone through https://jobs.wordpress.net/ or https://jetpack.pro/ to help you.

    I’ve no doubt you have good intentions, but you are very close to violating a guideline here against soliciting work for pay in these forums. You’re OK right now, but please do not accept any offers that may be posted here. Anyone doing so is likely up to no good. Their contact details will be removed and this topic closed per the guidelines, but you would still get a notification email. I urge you to ignore it.

    Your project looks very interesting, I wish you all the best on it 🙂

    Thanks for the help again, and sorry for the guideline. Be advised that I won’t accept any offer here.

    How could I connect the images and the text description? I am really starting from scratch…

    Thanks.
