Oh, thank you. But it is not possible under the masthead? It would be nice to scroll down and after a short scroll up the navigation bar will appear, also below the masthead.

I like this idea! Have a look at https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_j … scroll.asp, it shows a solution using a combination of CSS and JavaScript.
I am setting up a second Backlight site. Halfway through I realized I should have copied the old site and just removed the galleries. I just hit the localization issue...
I would start again with your second BL site. But first export the new templates you have already created. Then use the BL data directory from your first install as a starting point. I think that's easier than having to work directly on the database files.
It's a bit confusing....
On my blog I've several small albums of just a few images.
What exactly do you mean by this statement? Do you have a link to illustrate what you mean?
There are no albums in a blog like you have on the main BL2 powered sight.
To upload images to my blog, I use the Wordpress media manager. This doesn't use BL2 Publisher nor Lightroom.
I'm looking at this page: https://eckart-bartnik.de/galleries/extracts/
The custom css you use is not correct
div#albums {
{ <--------
position: left;
left: 30px;
border: 3px solid #73AD21;
} You have two opening brackets. That's why your CSS is not working.
To only address this page and not affect all other albums, I would use
.slug-extracts .albums {
margin-left: 20px;
}Rod outlined the steps the other day: http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … 824#p55824
This looks great!
Can you share a link to the page that shows your Vegas slideshow? Thanks!
So you continue to do separate Backlight installations?

That was true yesterday, but I added the thumbnails to all the galleries last night. Could you please clear your cache and check again? If you find any that do not have a thumbnail, I would really appreciate a specific pointer. I just went through them all here on Firefox (which I clear cache on frequently, and use only for tests like this), and every gallery set I saw had a thumbnail.
That's not a cache issue... There is no thumbnail:
<figure itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject">
<div class="content">
<a href="https://www.mindstormphoto.com/gallery/gallery-travel/">
<figcaption itemprop="caption description">
<p class="album-title">04-Travel</p>
</figcaption>
</a>
</div>
</figure>I would design a dedicated menu-set for mobile that uses a simpler structure. First I would design this alternative menu in Backlight (create a new menu-set for that!), then copy the generated source code that is enclosed by the nav divs:
<div id="page__pallet__T1" class="page__column page__pallet" data-position="T1">
<div class="content clearfix">
<nav class="nav nav_v">
... menu code
</nav>
</div>
</div>Then use this code in your phplugins file:
function pallet01_top () {
echo '
<nav class="nav nav_v">
... menu code
</nav>
';
return true;
}And then obviously you need to revert your site back to the original menu and disable the mobile menu. Now the mobile menu will be provided by phplugins. I think that this is the easiest way to have a different custom menu for mobile.
BTW, if you go to /gallery, you will notice that some of the gallery-sets don't have thumbnails.
By share an image do you mean upload it to the forum? Just letters in the pricing scheme name. Working on Ben's request.
Send it to Ben and he will take care of your issue.
Can you share an image that fails?
Thanks for the suggestion, Daniel.
I've created a few wachete.com "watchets" to notify me of changelog updates.
Looks promising!
![]()
Maybe an option to "receive all update notifications" could be offered in /backlight/admin/list_modules/ so that those of us who care about such things could opt in and those who don't care could opt out?
The modules page contains links to the ChangeLogs for the different modules. You should be able to use IFTTT on the pages these links are pointing to. Did you try that?

Probably not... When I first installed BL2, I copied over the .htaccess and index.php, but goofed and put them in the wrong directory (the root instead of the BL2 -- drag and hit-wrong-target). I would not be surprised if the current .htaccess is thus the "wrong one"...
However... I thought the .htaccess just defined who could log on, what their passwords and privileges are. Does it control something that would mess up these file paths too???
.htaccess does many other things such as handling of paths...
For your setup, which is not the typical Backlight setup, .htaccess in your home directory needs to be the one from Wordpress and not the one from Backlight!!! Same applies to index.php.
I don't think there is a problem with your widgets. Even the links to the different posts from your home page are not working.
To me, it looks like there is an issue with your .htaccess file. Did you modify it? This is the .htaccess file that came with the Wordpress installation, isn't it?
So all is good now?
HOLD THE PHONE.... it works...???
I went back and created a new theme (as shown in steps above).
Wordpress says there is no menu available. it also says there in no palette being used, even though there should be.
HOWEVER, when I go into the site (www.mindstormphoto.com), the menu DOES appear and so does the palette...?!
Apparently, if WP knows about a menu, it overrides BL2 and uses it. If WP cannot find a menu, it tells you there is none, but the web site itself does show it.
Baffling, but at least it appears to be working now...
THANKS to everyone who helped on this mystery!
I don't think that the menu shown right now comes from Backlight.... When I'm in preview, my Backlight menu shows.
@Daniel --
Well, da**... Here are my steps in screenshots. Can you see where i might have made a mistake?
13-WP MSP has no menu.png - in WP, shows that no menus are available to that theme in WP
Did you notice the sandwich icon on the top right? Could it be that your display is too small and you see the mobile menu?
@Daniel -- So you created a menu in Backlight 2, and when you created a Wordpress theme, that menu showed up?
Yes, it worked out of the box
Just out of curiosity, I did a test install with Wordpress serving the home page and using Backlight 2 to create my theme and custom menu. Works beautifully out of the box. Obviously the Backlight managed pages such as about and index do not work.
Did you download the latest version of Publisher? The link is underneath the title in Backlight > Admin > Backlight Modules.
