And, for what it's worth, I'll be adding the newest version of Client Response Gallery just as soon as it comes off the presses. Not for this site but for another I'm working on.

Cool
Found that parse error in about.php and contact.php the line should look like this:
define("PAGEIMAGE", "lib/images/identityplate.png");
instead of like this:
define("PAGEIMAGE", .lib/images/identityplate.png);
I do have the hot fix, I think. DL'd it yesterday.
May have spoken too soon. The problem with the home page images is fixed. But it broke my navigation partially. Click the about or contact nav link and things crash. This is truly weird because nav on this site has been controlled by phplugins and has worked flawlessly until now. Incidentally all the TTG engines are the newest release from a day or two ago. I've checked the server path to the phplugins file within the template and rebuilt the template (in stage). Error is a parse error in line 85 but examining the page source I'm not seeing that. Kinda like whack a mole: smack one here another pops up over there.
As directed, I unpublished the offending gallery. Created a new one with 3 images. Published it to top level galleries/pages-gallery. Didn't have to change the gallery type (galleria) or the template (created in TTG stage). and it is working now. Of note: a couple of the images I was publishing when this problem started were virtual copies within lightroom. I don't think I've done that before. I noticed that the virtual copies filenames had " dot COPY 1" after the file name. Might that have been the problem?
I have a publisher managed home page that is published to the top level directory of galleries/pages-gallery as per the wiki. When I go to the site I get an error that it can't find an image in this directory: ttg-be/templates/gallery/pages-gallery. So I publish the same gallery to that directory and still get the missing image error. I'm guessing I mangled something internally in the workings of publisher and am wondering if I reinstalled publisher if that would help. I see no settings in ttg-be admin or publisher admin to allow changing where the publisher controlled home page should be found. Can I just wipe publisher and start over to fix this or should I wipe ttg-be as well? See error here: http://www.markhoffmanphotography.com
Was following along here and noticed Jackmcbride said I only had one item available in my shopping area which I knew was wrong...except that when I checked he was right! The problem? I had added a new product type without addressing the shipping charges for said product which sort of clobbered the other products I had available. So a word to the wise to avoid my blunder (which I didn't even know I had made), when modifying products check your shipping charges. And thanks Jackmcbride for pointing out my error. For a demo of the different products check the offerings in one of the Main galleries as opposed to the Art print galleries, provided I have them working correctly now at http://www.photophart.com

Matt, height was 4340
18756 pixels is as big as I've done so far.
Wonderful images. Beautiful site.
As a matter of fact I did have a plugin called W3 Total Cache running that supposedly improves the user experience. I've disabled it and will see what that does for affecting speed of updates. Good call Rod. I wouldn't have thought of that.
Later: Well, I tested quickness of code changes being reflected in the WP site and they are now, pretty much, immediate. The cache plugin was the culprit and Rod was dead on! Thank you.
Strange. Now it's OK. Something I have noticed with Wordpress before is that occasionally changes uploaded to the hosting server seem to take awhile to appear on the page. I have never seen the problem with any of my non-Wordpress sites. With them uploaded changes are visible immediately. Is this a Wordpress specific behavior? Or is it perhaps just the way my hosting service has Wordpress setup? As I've said WP isn't my strong point, but if it's something I can tweak in one of the underlying files I'm game to give it a try.
Yes and no. That resolves the masthead problem. Nav remains on 2 lines. As Rod suggested I changed nav items in phplugins to span elements:
<span><a href="/index.php">Blog Home</a></span>
For both nav menu options but nav remains on 2 lines. Cleared cache. Refreshed page. No change.
Thanks Rod, That's what I needed. Attachments in outlook and thunderbird are a snap, from within the forum, not so much.
Those who know me would tell you that I'm nowhere near as thick headed as I come off. That said, how in the world do I attach a file to an email sent from this forum?
Yes. Although if I remove the image in theme options the masthead remains intact.
Have created exports of the theme in version 304 and 305 in 2 zip files. Where would you like me to send them? They are identical except for the version of plugin used to create them.
For what its worth, I've backtracked to version 304. Masthead is back where it should be, nav is back to a single line and that's with no changes to anything. Think I'll hang there.
Have not edited either php file and phplugins only modifies nav and footer.
From within WP admin the masthead is there. In a different browser I see what you see: no masthead on main page. There are no menus listed where you suggest I look, possibly because I'm using phplugins for nav?
Addendum: I am using phplugins for navigation.
Adding the Identity plate in Theme options brought back the masthead. As for how to add the "site-navigation location" to the theme options, menu area, I'm at a loss. WP and I are still getting to know each other and she's, well, complex.
305 is up. Heading is gone. Nav on 2 lines. Of note, in lightroom under site info, version still says 304. That a problem?
Mark
Won't help. I backtracked to version 304 which is running now. Gimme 20-30 minutes to reinstall 305 and FTP the new stuff then its: http://blog.photophart.com

Hate to start whining right away in the morning, but... I FTP'd the new version of WP theme without really changing anything in the Lightroom module. Mostly just wanted to see the new stuff. Masthead is gone and navigation is pushed to two lines. SO I tried checking the orphan checkbox for masthead and navigation. No change. Masthead is still set to banner as before. Next I unchecked orphan in masthead and navigation and changed identity to profile, which put the masthead back on top but off centered and still left navigation on 2 lines. Blog is a subdomain. It does not share with TTG pages which I haven't updated yet. Thoughts?
