you'll get used to it.

your albums need the database too. Did you also copy over the backlight/data folder?

Sorry, I’m not sure what’s happening. This is more of a Ben question so I suggest waiting on him. He may need admin access to Backlight.

It shouldn't overwrite those two folders, but you can always back them up to your computer and upload them after any re-installation if needed.

or just wait for Ben.

PS, it looks like the "Install Backlight 2" heading at the /backlight/installer/ page is normal if you've updated or are updating a site from BL2. I get the same thing on my site.

Try running the Backlight Installer again by going to the installer on your site: http://www.johnblaustein.com/backlight/installer/

If that doesn't resolve things, the Ben will need to take a look. He will likely need Backlight admin and FTP credentials.

if you're using the slide show presentation in the Pangolin album, the generated page url may change due to the order of the images, but the image permalinks never change. So those are always SEO friendly.

Matt will need to comment on the overall SEO aspects of the slide show presentation.

But if you want urls that include the image file name, you can use the Single Image presentation.

when you purchased a Backlight 3 you received a link to download the installer zip file. so it may be on your computer already.
Or you can find your order from the link on this page: http://theturninggate.net/support/
It may have got the exact name of the folder wrong, I’m going from memory.

have you tried uploading the index.php file again?
it’s the one in the root of the unzipped Backlight-3-Installer folder. It needs to go in the root of your site.
the .htaccess file in the same location also needs to be in the root of the site

try clearing browser cache. Both sites you linked to above are showing the italicized footer text.

you need to update to the latest phplugins file found in your Backlight 3 Installer download. use the phplugins-pangolin-sample.php file. You'll find it in the backlight/custom/phplugins folder.

paste your functions into the new file.

Then you'll need to modify the functions
for example, this:

function ttg_navigation( $style, $path ) {

becomes this:

function navigation() {

You also may need to change the html in your code as some html structure has changed between BL1 and Bl2/3

see this: http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … hp?id=8966
and the phplugins documentation: https://backlight.me/docs/using-phplugins

first thing to do is used the latest version of the phplugins file found in your Backlight 3 Installer download under backlight/custom/phplugins

I'm going to assume you're using Pangolin templates, so use the phplugins-pangolin-sample.php file

Then you can use the same function with just one difference: the first line

copy/paste your function into the User Functions area of the new file.

Change the first line from:

function ttg_footer_bottom ( $style, $path ) {

to

function footer_bottom() {

Be sure to use a plain text editor when doing this.

save the file, giving it a new name and upload it to your site at /backlight/custom/phplugins/

Select your new phplugins file in the page templates Advanced Setup area

that should be it.

I just tried enabling offline digital purchase and was still unable to see, let alone add, any of my other products other than the standard "Print" product.

It's not impossible. I have a package set up in one of my test sites that does this:

Ben will need to look into what's happening.
