## Description

Easily migrate your galleries from FooGallery to Modula, a customizable WordPress
gallery plugin that’s responsive and doesn’t require any coding skills. We provide
an importing tool that’s really great for moving your galleries to Modula without
jumping through hoops.

### Why migrate from FooGallery to Modula?

While FooGallery provides more features based on templates, Modula allows you to
fully control your galleries. So, if you want to create more galleries in different
styles (various animations and effects), you might find yourself quite limited when
using FooGallery.

Lucky for you, Modula provides a lot of customization options – 4 different grid
types (creative, custom, slider, and masonry), 48 hover effects, animations, thumbnails,
4 image loading effects, filterable galleries, and a beautiful Lightbox powered 
by Facybox. But that’s not all. With Modula, you get a modern solution for your 
galleries that will impress your potential clients.

Not all heroes wear capes, and not all plugins are a good fit for everyone. But 
Modula surely is. You also get album creation, video integration, custom links, 
captions, watermarking, right-click protection, password protection, EXIF integrations,
pagination, user roles, social sharing buttons, enable downloading, and more!

You get the picture: Modula helps you reach the sky! Let’s see some examples of 
galleries and portfolios that our community has built:

 * Real Estate
 * Adventure
 * Travel
 * Food
 * Restaurants
 * Interior and exterior design
 * Commercial
 * Lifestyle
 * Art
 * Centers, projects, and workshops presentations
 * Weddings
 * Events
 * Illlustration and design
 * Bands
 * Boudoir
 * Black and White
 * Animals
 * Macro
 * Landscapes
 * Portraits
 * Motion
 * Family
 * Personal Branding
 * Fashion
 * And they never stop!

Amazing, right?! And these are only a few examples. You can build whatever your 
business needs with Modula. Moreover, we can offer you CSS codes and customization
that we’ve been collecting for years. You can find everything you need in our documentation
or contact our support team, which is always happy to help.

### Which parts of my FooGallery will automatically import to Modula?

Our Import tool migrates most features from the core FooGallery plugin. We import
the following customization from FooGallery:

 * Gallery title
 * Image title
 * Image caption
 * Image alt text
 * Image URL
 * Target
 * Grid type and settings associations between Modula and FooGallery
 * Image size
 * Gutter
 * Lazy load

### Grid type

Depending on the grid type you use in FooGallery, we associate it with what we have.
Here we also include the slider and single thumbnail view (max image count is set,
and 1 single thumbnail appears). When clicking on the thumbnail, you can go through
the whole gallery in the Lightbox.

### Shortcodes or Gutenberg blocks

We also replace your shortcodes or Gutenberg blocks from pages and posts (your FooGallery
shortcodes will be changed to Modula shortcodes).

## Installation

The simplest way to install is to click on \’Plugins\’ then \’Add\’ and type \’Migrate

This plugin just saved me a lot of time. I had 15 image galleries with a total of
over 500 images and it only took a few minutes to migrate them all to Modula with
this plugin.A huge thank you to the developers 🙂

This plugin is a lifesaver. FooGallery was one of the worst plugins I ever had the
misfortune of building into some of my sites. It’s slow, buggy, has a back-end UI
that tries to manipulate WP’s GUI, and (my personal favorite), a penchant for overriding.
PHP styles on updates, breaking site stylings. At any rate, I found Modula a few
years back and after a few updates from them which have improved the compatibility
with thumbnail plugins, it’s as good as I could ask for. However, some of my legacy
sites have been stuck on FooGallery for years now, and I’ve wanted to solve that
for a while. Thankfully, this plugin has finally fixed that. It does what it claims
on the tin in a matter of clicks, and it’ll also clear the FooGallery entries too
to clean everything up. I don’t know how many people made the error of building 
around FooGallery, but for the few that have, this is a godsend. Five big honkin’
stars.
