My 1.1 Backlight install was just updated to 1.2.2.  It has pages, (no cart,client response or wordpress etc).
I put the following old directories into the new 1.2.2 modules directory in order to keep the old albums intact:
-modules/standard album
-modules/standard album set
-modules/page

The good news: It is possible to get to the old albums, AND to create and access new 1.2.2 albums.
The bad news: index pages for top-level indexes are broken, throwing the following error messages:
___________________

"Something went wrong
The album with id 1 could not be found in GalleryDelegate.php on line 114"

Above is error when going to top-level album index page that was created with Backlight 1.1

___________________

"Something went wrong

Unexpected error: Undefined variable: breadcrumbs in Album.php on line 315

Please report error at http://community.theturninggate.net"

above is error when going to top-level index page created with new Backlight 1.2.2

How to fix?  thank you!

1.1 update now showing all 'hidden' galleries
How can this be corrected in the Backlight admin area with one setting for all the albums?

when I look at
BacklightPublisherTop-level Galleries-Albums-my album-
View Album Settings

it shows HIDE FROM ALBUM SET: yes
But none of the individual albums is now hidden

Features

Enable Maps: no
Enable Password: yes
Username:XXX
Password: [hidden]
Display Breadcrumbs: no
Hide From Album Set: yes
Hide From Search: no

AM using Lightroom 3 and just installed Backlight/Pages.

Good news!: the website works!

However within Lightroom 3, when I create my first album
Lightroom fails to upload the images &  throws the following error:

Cant Update this Collection
An internal error has occurred: TTGPublishServiceProvider.lua:702: attempt to concatenate local 'embeddedMetadataOption' (a nil value)

any thoughts on how to fix? Is lightroom 3 not working with Backlight?

thanks for your thoughts,
