Daniel, you have a better memory than I do. And that was less than a year ago!
It just sounded familiar.... and then there is this search button on this page that is really helpful.
Re GPS:
There was an issue that popped up a while ago with CE4. Rod found that the Lightroom export using the web module caused wrong GPS data. The TTG 2014 Gallery uses the web module export as well. Looks like this is the same issue.
Backlight is not affected by this Lightroom Classic behavior/bug.
If you recall, my site is a hybrid of CE3 and CE4 sets and albums. I failed in the past to convert the old ones to CE4. Do you think this CE4 to BL conversion with have any effect on the CE3's?
no
You are missing backlight in the path. It should be http://corvette-photography.com/TestBL2 … /publisher
Well Damn, man. That did it!!
HURRAH

Les Marmitons looks like a fun group.
Looks much better now!
There is one issue on the page on line 177:
<h2><em><a href="http://lesmarmitonsnj.com/recipes/0419recipes.pdf"><em>April - Chef Brian Karluk</a></em></h2>There shouldn't be an <em> before April. Currently, the footer is shown above your main content. This might be related to this <em> tag.
Personally, I would not use 600 as the font weight for the body text. It makes the text a bit difficult to read. I would go with 400.
That worked but it is ugly as hell and the embedded hyperlinks do not work. I am getting close.
The links will work once your test code is on the lesmarmitonsnj.com side. Or you can change the links to
<a href="http://www.lesmarmitonsnj.com/recipes/2018 October KKWC Benefit recipes.pdf">2018 October- Kiddie Keep Well Camp Benefit Dinner</a>BTW, I would try to avoid using files that have spaces in the filename.
So I tried with the URL link to the menu2018.php file and the site stops while loading the nav bar. You can see that now at http://corvette-photography.com/TestBL2/.
I guess the old php code will not work in a BL2 site
I see that you are progressing. In order to keep the same look&feel of your site, I would copy the text that is in your fragments file into the new 2018/2019 page.
The syntax of the the html code inside /TestBL2/fragments/menu2018.html is not correct. Apart that header tags shouldn't be used for content, at least they should be closed:
<h2>.....</h2>That is a whole lot of extra work when you have 13 years worth of monthly pdf files. I am trying to link each set to a drop down.
You have one page per year/season. So you can just copy the respective source code from your current php file into the new page. Yes, it is a bit of work, but totally worth it in order for your site to keep the current look and feel.
Right now I am trying to create a sub menu page and I get an error about formatting error in identifier. I cannot find anything that explains how this should be formatted. Is there anything written about this or is it still trial and error?
On the left side of the Identifier field, there is a 'I' icon. If you hover over it, it provides additional infos on the formatting requirements: The name used for the page URL, e.g. about. Accepts letters, hyphens and underscores.
Or another option worth to try is to select a different php version. Each php version has its own environment. So maybe there is one that is properly configured.
Versio shows how to do define some php.ini values at https://www.versio.eu/articles/438-how- … php-values. I don't know if it provides an option to add mail.log = /dev/null.
Maybe you can solve this issue with setting the open_basedir to /home/jmtenuj299/.php. Before doing this, I would note the default values for open_basedir shown in Backlight > Special Links > View PHP Info.
Maybe you have to add this path to an existing one, then you would use "existing_paths:/home/jmtenuj299/.php" as the new value for open_basedir.
But your host should definitely be able to help you since this is really a host specific configuration.
That didn't work
This looks like a different error now, doesn't it?
In CE4 each link had a php file that refecenced a separate html file. Here is an example. http://lesmarmitonsnj.com/menu2018.php Click on the menu to see the html file.
I think this is a page that you created with CE4 Pages. With Backlight, you create these pages with Backlight > Designer > Pages and enter your text in Page Copy > Main Copy. There is no more a need to copy/ftp files. This is much easier.

Reading this, you should be able to properly link the WP install in Backlight: url = /subdomainroot
I played a bit with your site and I think that just using url = /blog should do the trick.
Thank Daniel, I have read this three times and also looked at the link but I'm sorry I don't understand
In Krystal I have various folders in my root drive and each one is a site, currently the subdomain blog.peterblandford.com is a separate folder next to peterblandford.com.
According to Krystal's documentation, the subdomain folder is in /public_html which is presumably the folder for your main domain. So yesterday, I tried to see if I can access it directly and was able to do so using http://peterblandford.com/blog/.....jpg. But this doesn't work anymore. I guess you or your host changed something.
So let's try something else:
You could ask your host to make a symbolic link from /wp-content/themes to the themes folder of blog.peterlandford.com. As Ben pointed out, this way you can export the theme from Backlight. But since the local directory points to your blog's theme, the theme there is updated at the same time.
Where can I use "url = /blog?"
This is something that you can set in backlight/admin in the Wordpress section.

With whom are you hosting?
My hosting company say it should be pretty easy to move the site within my domain, so I may go for that option
Just my 2 cents:
Note that you would need to update all url references in the WP mysql database after moving it, apart of some config file changes. You should then add some 301 redirects from your subdomain to you main domain as well so that all your existing links to your blog continue to work.
You are not the first one doing this, so Google finds many answers to the steps needed.

Hmm... I don't remember to ever have seen a BL site with that many images.
Hi Daniel,
Currently a 20K of photos on the BL pages all others (still) on another domain
You think too many photos are the cause?
Hi Peter,
It might be, but I don't know. It is just a lot of images. That's something for Ben to answer. You might want to send him your ftp and Backlight credentials so he can have closer look what's going on on your server.
More than 42.000+ pictures

Hi Choke,
I would start with downloading and installing the latest version of the ttg_be package and see if this fixes your issue. Ben did some changes in the past in order for CE4 to run with PHP 7.
On my Mac, it works well with Safari, but it shows the described issue with Google Chrome. Firefox doesn't show an issue either.
As Rod suggested, I would recommend as well to create a separate publishing service for 'services'. When you create the new publishing service, set the 'Top-level galleries directory' to 'services' (or whatever you want to call it).
I did this with my shop page at https://danielleu.com/shop. Currently, I'm hiding all albums. Eventually, each product category will get it's own product page and then I'll be using some type of an thumbnail grid. Greeting cards and wood panels are built using albums. The first one doesn't have an embedded gallery while the later one does. One benefit of this layout is that I can use breadcrumbs and they support navigating the shop.
I think your services page is similar to my shop page and might work well using the same approach.
BTW, the page copy for the top-level gallery can be entered in /backlight/publisher.
I'd try Daniels suggestion of using span. You can style the span elements like this:
<span style="font-weight:bold;" data-lang="nl">Your text.</span>
Rod, there is no need to add this additional styling since it now will use the default style for the label which is bold (eg, weight 600 if I remember correctly). ![]()
Using the <span></span> tag should do the trick:
<span data-lang="en">Telephone</span><span data-lang="fr">Téléphone</span><span data-lang="de">Telefon</span>Looks like something like this was already reported in the past and this is Ben's response: http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … 032#p59032
This is the single-image view: https://johnellsworth.com/collections/a … single.php
In the album preferences, you can enable to go there directly from the album grid. This is what I meant with different user experience.
