Hi Jim,
I just checked on my host panel and found my parked domains were not redirecting properly. So that part of the problem seems sorted. I just need to sort out the publisher issue in Lightroom now. Thanks again.
Hi Jim,
Thanks so much for taking the time to look at this for me. I really appreciate your help.
So from what you're saying, I have two different sites. I have no idea how I've managed to do that. It certainly wasn't my aim. I originally had a CE4 based website and I rebuilt it as a Backlight 2 based website. I moved host during my change from CE4 to Backlight 2, and the original site was the sensormanphoto.co.uk site but now I decided I wanted the main site to be on a .com domain. So I'm wondering if somehow I've compromised the new sensormanphoto.com site.
Do you have any idea how I can solve this problem?
Do I need to find a sensormanphoto.co.uk folder within my sensormanphoto.com folder? How do I get the http vs https redirect protocol working properly?
Hi Rob, Thanks for your help.
I checked and corrected the setting to redirect to https in the Privacy section and then went back to my published albums and album sets in Lightroom. To check if this helped, back in Lightroom, I disabled the publisher then re-enabled it but the URL next to the upper right publish button still shows the wrong URL: "https://sensormanphoto.co.uk/galleries/" instead of the correct one: "https://sensormanphoto.com/galleries/" I suspect the problem is with Lightroom and the Publisher but I can't identify the issue so I still need some help with fixing the problem.
I have a Backlight 2 website (https://sensormanphoto.com) and two parked domains which point to my website (sensormanphoto.co.uk and sensormanphoto.uk). In the Lightroom, the API URL is identified as "https://sensormanphoto.com/backlight/publisher/" but when I click on any of my published albums, the small text in front of the top right Publish button reads as follows "http://sensormanphoto.co.uk/galleries/".
Obviously, my sensormanphoto.co.uk parked domain redirects to the correct gallery and image but, I think the albums and images must be tagged somehow with the parked domain URL because when I search for any particular image using google, firstly it struggles to find it and if it does, it links back to sensormanphoto.co.uk not sensormanphoto.com and sometimes they return a 404 error page on my website. I'm not really sure how all this works.
I have deleted and reloaded the Backlight 2 publisher and disabled it and re-enabled it but even with the API URL pointing at https://sensormanphoto.com, when highlighted, the lightroom albums and album sets still show "http://sensormanphoto.co.uk/galleries/" next to the upper right Publish button in Lightroom. Is there some hidden setting in Lightroom or Backlight 2 which controls how the LR publisher selects the publish location? Clearly, I'm missing something and any help would be gratefully received.

Basically the galleries fail to display. Using PHP 7.0 and 7.2 the "About" and "Contact" pages were blank. I tried PHP 7.3 and there was quite a lot of script returned as errors. I'm no programmer so it meant nothing to me. I thought the best option was to step back to PHP 5.6 and all was well again.
Sounds very familiar. My CE4 site also didn't work with php 7.x any more. Are you by any chance using 1und1 as a host? And they charge you almost 10 € per month for php 5.6 legacy support?
I upgraded to Backlight2 from CE4 and had my new test site done within a few hours! It is so much easier to use than the LR CE4 Pages and you can be completely independent of LR!
You can't do anything wrong upgrading. My2Cents.
Hi Skipper - thanks for the feedback.
I'm using Fasthosts in the UK. The charge about the same but I would have to pay more for legacy PHP support. So your suggestion of upgrading to Backlight 2 sounds like the best option for me.

I have been using CE4 for a number of years and am coming up against the PHP obsolescence issue - it doesn't appear to work with PHP 7.0 or higher. I feel I should start again with Backlight 2. However, I have Lightroom 6 and before I dive in I should like to know whether it will work with the Backlight Publish Services plugin for Lightroom CC Classic. I do not really want to invest in another (cut-down version) of LightRoom.
