    Hi folks,
    we’re running four WPs, which we started with Enfold from the beginning.
    But now for a fundamental relaunch of an existing, huge WP-Website on a new installation we plan to use Enfold as the new theme.

    Now there’s on basic question: Which chronological order would you recommend as the best for the installation(s)?

    a. Install a fresh WP
    b. Install the plugins we need and used before
    c. Install Enfold
    d. Import the content (with tons of posts, pages, images and nextgen-galleries)

    Or a-c-b-d? Or a-b-d-c?

    And would you recommend a special content importer plugin?

    Thanks a lot for your help!
    Stephan

    Hey Stephan,

    Thanks for contacting us!

    For most projects we recommend using a child theme – http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/using-a-child-theme/. I think for huge projects, it is a must.

    You can simply install WordPress, then install Enfold parent & child theme, activate child theme, install needed plugins and then import your content. For migrating databases, we recommend this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-migrate-db/

    Best regards,
    Yigit

    Hi Yigit,

    thanx for your help! One last question in this context: Which plugin would you recommend to regenerate thumbnails an other images sizes from the old to the new theme?

    Best regards,
    Stephan

    Hi Yigit,

    thanks a lot for your great support. On last question:
    At the moment we’ve running NextGEN Gallery (with 90 galleries and roundabout 2.800 images), but when we change to Enfold, I think, we don’t need it anymore. Is there a tool or plugin (or any other idea) to convert or “reimport” the galleries?

    Thanx & best regards
    Stephan

    Hi,

    You can continue using NextGEN Gallery on Enfold.
    Also, you can use a plugin such as this one – https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-attachment-export/ to migrate your media library :)

    Best regards,
    Yigit
