This is driving me nuts. I have my main site pretty much done and converted to Backlight, but a separate site I have for family photos is not behaving. The site is on another subdomain. I copied the entire backlight folder over and got everything setup correctly on this subdomain. Publisher is working and the albums are displayed as I want. The galleries page however will not show more than one column of thumbnails. I have created a couple of new templates from scratch and deleted the old ones and nothing changes. What I am doing wrong?

Thanks Matt. That's what I was thinking...
I have the cart widget showing up where I want it in my top menu bar whenever there is something in it. I was wondering if there is a way to always have it visible?

That would be great Ben. I did some testing last night and found that the window.open function doesn't work on a lot on mobile browsers.
Along those lines, it would be nice if the search page had it's own class to be able to identify say just the h3 class. What would also be great is if you could use also tack on the search title to the end of the search query.
Thanks Ben!

Still working on my new site...
Like before, a bunch of my menu items for the galleries are just hrefs passing along search criteria. I would like to be able to set the browser tab title for each separately. It works using the window.open function as long as I allow it to open in a new window. Not sure if I am happy with that. Do you have any ideas?
You can check it out at https://portfolios.montetrumbull.com/. The Recent Additions gallery works in a new window. The Locations > Rocky Mountains gallery does not when opened in the same window.
Thanks!
Monte
Looks great Rod! Someday I will get mine finished (only started on it back in the fall!).
Now I see Rod. Sorry for being such a bother!
Thanks - Monte
Hey Rod. I must be lost, I am not seeing Page Setup: Page Title. I currently have "Fine Art Landscape & Nature Images by Colorado Photographer Monte Trumbull" in the Name field under Edit Properties for my Home page. In Backlight settings I have the Title field cleared under Personalisation.

Thanks - Monte
Thanks for the clarification Ben. Is there a way to not have it tack on the Company Name?
Monte
Thanks much for testing things Charlie and Rod and making it pretty clear that the problem was on my end. Even with clearing my template cache and browser cache, it never showed up. I ended up deleting the default Home page and creating a new one. It is working now! Time to move on...
Monte
Thanks Rod. I figured it must be a big. I couldn't find a Backlight site that had anything but the default!
Monte
Hey Rod. That's interesting. It loads just fine on the About page but nothing on the Home page. I tried it on both my tablet and desktop computer and nothing happens there either...
Monte
Hi Rod. Yes I did both but it never changes beyond adding my company name behind the page title.
Monte
Thanks for testing it Charlie. I cleared all caches and tried it in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. It still doesn't show up for me.
Monte
I saw mention of this in previous posts, but can't seem to come up with a fix. I have a gallery with two images (which have no captions or titles) setup for testing. The slideshow works just fine on the About page, but does not on the Home page. Checking the source code shows that the Vegas script is being loaded. Any ideas?
My test site is: https://portfolios.montetrumbull.com/
Thanks - Monte
When I enter a title in Backlight Personalisation settings, it still shows my company name in the browser window. Am I missing something?
Thanks - Monte
I took your suggestion and went ahead and switched to using Magnific for the popup. It is handy to use something you already are using! If you care to check it out, you may need to delete your "visited" cookie from my site. I only popup once and then wait 30 days.
Thanks again - Monte
Hey Matt. I hear you there. I thought of that after I went down this path. I think for now I will at least get it working right (still have some CSS work), and then look at switching.
Thanks - Monte
FYI. I got it to work by switching from using Colorbox to Fancybox. It works with the latest jQuery (and is easier to format as well). Thanks for all the help!
Monte
Hi Daniel. You caught me while I am still trying to get it fixed.
I hear you on the popups but research still says they are the best way to go to get more subscribers, so I thought I would give it a try!
Yeah, plenty of times. It has to be something in the colorbox script itself. Once I remove that section all is well.
Thanks for the replies Rod and Matt. Interesting, but when I remove that one line then the menu is still broken and the slideshow never loads. It looks like I might just need to find another way to popup an iframe.
Hey Matt. I realized this afternoon the the code I put in to display a popup on the home page broke the dropdown menus. That is probably why you didn't see the other galleries. I have taken it out for now. Any ideas why this code in the head would break things?
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./popup/colorbox/colorbox.css" />
<script src="./popup/common/libs_js/jquery-1.4.4.min.js"></script>
<script src="./popup/colorbox/jquery.colorbox.js"></script>
<script>
var $fb_pop = jQuery.noConflict();
$fb_pop(document).ready(function(){
setTimeout( function(){ $fb_pop.colorbox({href:"./popup/popup.html", iframe:true, innerWidth:"362px", height:"80%", maxHeight:"435px", fixed:true}) }, 5000 );
$fb_pop(".fb_iframe").colorbox({iframe:true, innerWidth:"362px", height:"80%", maxHeight:"435px", fixed:true });
});
</script>
Thanks - Monte
Good luck and have fun with that! Feel free to get in touch with me for help.
