This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/kovshenin/escape-ngg/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
Readme github.com/kovshenin/escape-ngg ↗

This plugin will scan through all your posts and pages for the [nggallery] shortcode.

It will loop through all images associated with that gallery and recreate them as native WordPress attachments instead. Finally it will replace the [nggallery] shortcode with the [gallery] shortcode native to WordPress.

Instructions

  1. Backup!
  2. Activate the plugin and browse to yourdomain.com/wp-admin/?escape_ngg_please=1
  3. When you're done you can delete the gallery dir, and the wpngg* tables in your database. Keep the backups though.

Limitations

  • doesn't work with shortcodes other than [nggallery]
  • doesn't work when more than one gallery on page

Notes

@uses media_sideload_image to recreate your attachment posts.

Compatible with wp-cli.
