I am not sure - Are you upgrading from V1 to V2, or are you upgrading from an earlier version of V2, to the latest?

v1 -> v2
To upgrade from a V1 gallery, you can keep your images/folders in the "content" folder but nothing else. Delete other folders, and simply upload the v2 files- and folders(except the "content" folder as you wish to keep the one you had).

v2 ->v2 upgrade
To upgrade your V2 gallery with latest release, simply upload all files except the "content" folder. New files will overwrite old ones, and you keep your content with images- and folders.

Not sure what's wrong with www.susanwattsphotography.com/gallery - Seems to be working fine here, except perhaps one issue: Startpath is set to "content" which doesn't contain any images, so startpage remains blank. You need point startpath to an actual gallery folder or a textpage if you want am opening page.

Do you also need to delete the thumbnails which were created in V1?

I am not completely sure, but I believe I had some problems with showing thumbs in my gallery after upgrading from V1 to V2. I had 2 thumbs with the same name, eg.: tn_DSC00001.jpg and tn_DSC00001.JPG. After deleting all the thumbs and create them again, everything was fine.

Thumbnails from V1 should be compatible with V2, but there may be some issues with uppercase/lowercase in some cases. In V2, thumbnails are strictly created with lowercase, while in V1, if you have uppercase filenames, it will mirror the extension "*.JPG" in uppercase also.

So if you have problems with thumbnails after upgrading from V1, then simply goto your admin -> manage, and click "recreate thumbnails in all folders".

I'm having the same problem. I updated from V1 --> V2 by simply installing V2 in a new directory and then moving my old V1 /content folder to the new V2 location. Everything EXCEPT thumbnails (that appear in the CENTER of the screen when you first go to a gallery) works. I have tried recreating the thumbnails via the Manage screen -- I tried it in an individual folder AND throughout my entire content, but neither worked. Here are some screenshots to explain what I now see -- please let me know if there's a setting I need to do get ALL thumbnails back on screen.

When I navigate to a directory, only ONE thumbnail is showing, see below:



When I click on that one thumbnail from the previous screenshot, the image loads and the bottom thumbnail navigation loads.



This is happening for ALL my galleries that worked perfectly fine in V1.

Hope someone can help!!

Maybe this will help?
