OK, if you say so. I thought you developed the Publisher plugin and didn´t "accept" UTF-8 because for the catalogs and directories etc Lightroom allows these characters.

Hi Rod!

Thanks, another thing I learned. It works fine for me now.. Now I must start learning how to create album sets and put an album within a set :-)

Thanks for your feedback. As I already wrote "still under construction and testing". Will work on it the next days.

Hi, as I have the same Problem since I bought BL2 yesterday, let me just mention that my german provider (Strato) doesn´t support PHP 5.6 anymore after the 1. january this year. You can use PHP 5.6 but than you must pay für an "extended support" to close all the security release to keep your domain safe (PHP 5.6 is vulnerable!) So the only free option and recommendation is to use PHP 7.2.

Maybe something you could/should consider and check if it influences your installer routines.

Hi!
I hope this is going to work. I am just trying to install the new BL2 and having some problem. Looking for a solution I saw your question:
I used to solve it in older version of LR-plugins (which I just deleted) by using following php-script:

As you can see there is a downloadlink. Just save this file as a xxx.php and adjust the passwords you want to use and adjust the pages where you want the script to redirect after succesful and unsuccesful logins.....

It worked fine for me and the used passwords can not be seen if take a look at the code in your browser.

Hope it is a solution you can use. I protected several albums with sevearl *.php protectscripts. I didn´t write the code but I usume by reading you can folow what it does and see that it is "harmless".

Here it starts:
