Thanks to both of you. I will check on a few different computers here. Maybe it is my graphics/screen. It does go away depending on how I size the window.

Rod, thank you for posting the logo. I'm using a pretty thin font; maybe I need to recreate the file. It is a png 3333x333. I will try some different sizes.

I've had this issue for a while. I originally thought it was some background I had set wrong, but after paying more attention I am convinced it is a sliver of the previous image that remains. It seems to come and go depending on what size window I open in Safari. Has anyone else seen this? I wonder if there is a specific size or some setting I can change to eliminate it from occurring. Here is the home page. It only occurs when the previous image is a wider and/or longer dimension than the current image:

Here is a screenshot of the images used in my LR-Publish collection, with the image sides highlighted from the previous image where I think it is bleeding over.

Hi Ben,
Been two years and I just saw your question. Interesting because I had this problem again, but not exactly the same situation. My Vegas homepage slideshow hung up on a specific image. I republished but no improvement. Then I went to develop, moved a slider a bit and republished again; that worked.

I am hosted with godaddy. I know, not the best but I've been too lazy to switch everything, especially now with the https certificate and all the other sunk time into the current setup.

This is a similar error I was getting. A few things to check:
1. Make sure "publisher" is spelled correctly in the API path. Mine was not; I assumed it was my error, but I am not sure how that line gets loaded.

2. I reinstalled 4.0 twice. The second time that path was still spelled incorrectly; once I fixed that it worked. I do still get errors, but it is always on the first try. If I publish (or create New Album) a second time, it works and finds/loads the templates.

I again deleted and reinstalled the TTG plugin. It seems to be working now. Sometimes I wonder if Godaddy is the issue. things just don't seem to update right away sometimes. Regardless, Thank you very much for your help Rod. I realize how many of these posts are self-inflicted, so much appreciated.

Weird that in the Integration tab, "Enable Cart" is checked but ghosted. I don't use a cart...?

Just tried publishing directly through Backlight. That works ok. So something is wrong with my LR pipeline. I tried disabling, removing and reinstalling the plugin, but that hasn't helped. I even deleted all the old albums inside TTG Publisher, but it still will not let me create a new album. The "Create Album" window does pop up, but then the "Unable to perform action: listTemplates" warning pops up. There are indeed no options in the Template dropdown list.

Rod,
Just updated but that didn't help. Plug-in manager now says v4.0, but still get the same errors. this is what I get when I try to create a new album. It cannot find the list of templates:

Unable to perform action: listTemplates.

The server did not respond in the correct format.

Server response:

<!doctype html>
<html dir="ltr" lang="en">
<head>

<title>Backlight</title>

I went to backlight and re-saved every album. Now I do not get error 418 but instead get all this:

Unable to perform action: getSetupForTemplate.

The server did not respond in the correct format.

Server response:

<!doctype html>

I am getting several errors in LR's TTG Publisher v3.2.3.1. When trying to re-publish I get error (418).

Under "Publisher API Details" it still references this url:
https://davechewphotography.com/backlight/publisher/

but when I click Check Authentication it works. If I remove /publisher from the url (which doesn't exist any more), it errors saying I need it.

Thought I might have an old LR version of TTG Publisher but I cannot figure out where to download on TTTG.

Albums in LR now do not match the albums in Backlight.

Couldn't find any templates using Okapi, but I went through and re-saved the galleries page and it works now. Thank you very much.

Dave

dchew · Backlight 2 Support

That worked! I have one more minor problem: I must have something somewhere that links to the old Okapi modules. I get this error from the galleries page: https://www.davechewphotography.com/galleries/
Something went wrong
Unable to find the module standard-album-set.
Have you removed this from backlight/designer/modules? If so, either copy the module back, or change the template used by this album. in EngineFactory.php on line 404

I can't seem to find it. All my templates say "Pangolin...", for page type. I'd rather not have to install the old Okapi modules if I don't have to.

dchew · Backlight 2 Support

Thanks Ben I will check. Using Godaddy not Bluehost. Started with them and I've been too lazy to change...

Thank you Matthew!

I get confused with pallets, trays, columns... which is probably the source of this issue.

I am trying to migrate to Pangolin, but struggling with the Pages. here is my current "about" page with an old Okapi template:
http://www.davechewphotography.com/about/

Here is the new test page using a Pagnolin template:
http://www.davechewphotography.com/aboutpang

I cannot figure out why text in "Pallet 01" does not appear in the Pangolin version. I have the same text in both. I wondered if the image link was creating problems, but even if I delete that link, no text appears. Obviously there is something I don't understand about the way Pangolin works. The vertical navigation appears on mobile devices as it should, but there is no pallet.

Dave

Ahh.

Thank you Rod!

I am finally trying to migrate to Pangolin. Experimenting with a new template to get a similar look. I am trying to figure out what drives the spacing between navigation menu items in the horizontal desktop view.

Here is the "about" page on my current site in Okapi:
http://www.davechewphotography.com/about/

Here is the new version in Pangolin:
http://www.davechewphotography.com/aboutpang

Is there a way to spread out the menu items like what is on the current Okapi version?

I've been poking around for a few hours and cannot figure it out.

Dave

dchew · Backlight Support

Found it. Big image but not as big as some others. I opened it in PS, saved a new copy and that one published fine.

Thank you for your help.

Dave

dchew · Backlight Support

Thanks for the reply Rod.

All of the images have been previously published and (7) were targeted for re-publish. I just tried deleting all seven of those from the collection and that worked!

I will add them back one at a time to see where the problem is.

Running Backlight 1.2.2, but using Okapi pages not Pagnolin.

I have 5 galleries. All but one, "Trees", publish and they are all based off the same template. "Trees" has always worked until this morning when I went to update. Maybe there is a specific image that is a problem...?

This is the error. Immediately after trying this I can go to another album and update it, so I''m sure the problem is not a network connection:

This morning sitting in an airport I received an email from someone requesting prints. She knows one image she wants, but would like some options for a second to go with it. Because I travel with a copy of my "Master" images on an SSD drive, I can create a new album in Publish Services, export and upload a specific collection of images for her. All within minutes of receiving the email. I've done this several times since switching over.

Thank you Backlight!

Looks great, Dave! We'll give you lots of good reasons to keep your design evolving as well, I think. ;-)

That's good news Matthew!

Backlight is perfect for me because my html skills are so poor. Perhaps plural "skills" is being too kind to myself. I had some code in my old site which was based on CE4 when it first came out. After a year or so, and a few versions of LR later in which I lost my templates and TTG engines, even a simple change became too much for me, so there it sat stagnant in the weeds.

But Backlight is a whole different story. I can keep my customization to a minimum this time, and the way it integrates with LR puts a big wide tunnel through the Learning Curve Mountain. So I am particularly excited to hear about new features that I can add as I go.

Marvelous product and service.

Thanks for the comments Rod,
I failed to dump my cache and didn't notice the link so thanks for that.

really nice work. Site looks great too.
Take a look at the tray in your home page. There's a broken link to an image.

It's been four years since i updated my site: http://www.davechewphotography.com/

Now that I have Backlight I will have no excuses to wait so long. Many thanks to Matthew, Rod and others for your help. I'm sure things will change as I learn and modify.
