Hi Rod , many thanks for the reply that did the trick.
I appreciate the reasoning against it but I would also like to disable the context menu. I have followed the instructions in the link above and added the code to a copy of the phplugins-sample.php file which I have renamed to my-phplugins.php and in the Backlight page template I have enable PHPlugins and included my-phplugins.php however, it doesn't appear to work. Is there something else that I need to enable?
My site is http://freshphoto.co.uk
Thanks for all of your help. The gallery I had created was intended to be separate from my other ones and was linked to directly from a button on the menu. I didn't want it included in my galleries, although I realise I could have put it there and just opted to hide it from the Album Set. So, I set up a separate Publisher service for it and entered "/" as the location of its top level gallery, thinking it would create a folder called "compare" with the gallery in it. Well you live and learn.
I had actually reached a point where I was ready to replace my existing website. When I do come to do that is it possible to move the galleries and Backlight folder etc. to the root of my website and then amend the location settings accordingly, or do I need to start from scratch all be it using the templates I have already created?
Hi Rod thanks for the fast reply. The Page URL format is set to about/ also the index.php and .htaccess files are present. Everything had been working fine.
The only thing that I can think of that I did that may have caused this change was to upload a new gallery called "compare" from a Publish Service whose Top-level galleries directory was set as "/".
After uploading this new gallery, the home page showed an Album Set with a single gallery called "compare". This wasn't what I had intended so I then deleted the "compare" Publish Service from within Lightroom and the remaining "compare" folder on my server using an FTP client.
It would seam that when I created that gallery initially it may have caused a conflict in Backlight somehow.
For some reason the Home, About and Contact Pages are no longer being generated, so when I click on those menu links I get a 404 error

Many thanks Matthew I will take a look at that.
That's great thanks. It was the "hi_res folder should be at the same level as /photos, not inside of it" that I didn't realise. It might be worth adding that point to the documentation.
With CE galleries there was the option to have an icon next to each image in the gallery that you clicked to download a hi-resolution version, is this possible with Backlight?
Sorry about that http://freshphoto.co.uk/new/client/wm/10vdw/
I'm in the process of converting my site from CE to Backlight and I'm having a few issues with downloading images from galleries.
When I setup the galleries with CE there was the option to have an icon next to each image in the gallery that you clicked to download a hi-resolution version of it, is this possible with Backlight?
Previously I have created a gallery for each client and then used FTP software to upload reduced-res and hi-res images to folders labelled reduced and hi_res within the "photo" folder of that gallery (e.g. photos/reduced). I then create ZIP files within the "reduced" and "hi_res" folders and provide download links to these from the text in the gallery description.
I have tried to do a similar thing with Backlight and so in the Downloads settings I have selected "Upload manually" and have entered /photos/hi_res as the path.
When you control click an image in the gallery to download it or the download icon from within the slideshow an html page is downloaded which displays the following error "Something went wrong preg_match(): Unknown modifier 'p' in GalleryController.php on line 493"
I presume Backlight must be pointing to the wrong location for the hi-resoluton image, in which case what I should enter as the path to the hi-resolution images.
