How to Convert Photocrati Galleries to NextGEN Gallery

To begin, you'll need Photocrati Pro 5.0.9 beta  installed and activated and NextGEN Gallery installed and active.

Note: These instructions only apply to Photocrati Pro 5.0.8. If you are upgrading to Photocrati 10, you need to install and activate Photocrati Pro 5.0.9 first, convert your legacy galleries to NextGEN Gallery, and then switch back to Photocrati 10.

*Update* As of WordPress v5.0 WordPress has included a new post and page editor interface called 'Gutenberg'. We have included a NextGEN Gallery block in our December 2018 update. Follow the steps below to access our Add Gallery Window. If you prefer to continue using the Classic Editor, follow the instructions below this video:

As of WordPress v5.0 you will need to install the Classic Editor plugin to continue editing your posts and pages the way you have been used to, following the instructions below. If you'd like to use the new Gutenberg editor, follow the instructions above in the video to learn how to locate our NextGEN Gallery block, and access our Add Gallery Window.
