That's a strange error; something Matt will have to look at. As Rod suggested, I would try different thumbnails settings.
Oh, which setting did you use that created this error?
I think that I have it!

Thanks to Rod and Michael Richards
Your pano selector page uses full-sized images instead of smaller ones that are just 1000px wide. This slows down loading the images and doesn't really provide a benefit since clicking on an image shows your nice slider.
You can put this image into the custom-thumbnails directory so it won't appear in the gallery. The documentation dates back to CE4, but applies to backlight too: http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … album_sets.
I have a custom-thumbnails gallery in /galleries that is managed from Lr Publisher (disable search and indexing). This gallery uses a custom template that has the images sized according to my needs. If I need a new thumbnail, I just put the image in there, publish it, and then select it from the target gallery. This is really smooth and easy to use.
For album sets, try following:
.the__albumSet figure:hover {
background-color: red;
}There a global body classes that you can use to target a particular page, or pages using the same template, if needed.
Yeah, you need to have a top-level directory that will contain your album or albumset.
Sounds like you installed correctly. Your are right that the .htaccess file (included with the Pages module) does not belong in the backlight/ folder.
According to Wappalyzer, your site is running on CentOS operating system. I don't know if this is compatible or not. If it's a version of Linux, then it probably is. This will be something for Ben to look at. He's in Australia and if he has any sense he's sleeping right now. So give him some time.
He may ask for FTP access as well as Backlight admin credentials.
Rod, CentOS is fine. It is a standard Linux distribution.
I uploaded the entire folder to the part www of my domain. Except for readme.txt and TTG-Publisher.lrplugin, as indicated. The directory www of my domain contains the files accessible from the web. Is my understanding correct that this the root? (sorry I am a newbie)
Afterwards I only manually copied .htaccess to www/backlightIn order to try to solve it I moved .htaccess to and from www and www/backlight but that did not make any difference
The index.php (currently renamed old index.php) is in the directory www
The .htaccess file from the download belongs into / and not /backlight.
Please check that the server side directory /backlight/data is writeable: http://backlight.theturninggate.net/doc … irectories
Hi Rod,
Do you think the same procedure applies for a Publisher based CE4 site?
CE4 Publisher based site migration is built-in into Backlight! All albums and albums sets are migrated, same for the cart.
Daniel, it isn't there anymore because I fixed it. Using Rod's idea about wrapping the embedded code in a responsive grid and changing some width settings in the code did the trick.

I don't see what is not responsive with the blog.
Generally, if there is an issue with Wp based pages, I would first disable all plugins and see if the issue persists (yep, clear template cache and browser cache, just to be safe)! If the issue still persists, report back, if the issue is solved, re-enable one plugin after the other (yep, same story about cache), and once the miss-behaving plugin is identified, report back.
It's a good option. Particularly because it should behave better with the existing Backlight styling.
And much easier to use and update!
But, strangely, now it's the image that has gone way out in right field!
Not that strange since you told it in your custom css file to be there!
.main__column > .content {
left: 120px;
}Using the Firefox Inspector, I could easily reduce the size of the logo-image to half its size. Should I place the script you suggest in CSS?
UPDATE: As soon as I inserted the script into "backlight.css", the logo-image returned to it's initial size while the css script did nothing to reduce the pallet size.
You are missing a closing bracket.
.page__pallet {
width: 100px;
min-width: 100px;
max-width: 100px;
} /* <----- */It works for me! But the image for the secondary header is big ~660k. It is too big for what it should be. It took a while on my phone to load it! I opened it in Ps and it shows as 16-bit. Once I cropped it to the text area and changed it to 8-bit, it comes in at 40k.
1- why won't the imported template (BWRAO) won't load;
I don't know what you mean by "won't load". It is listed as one of the page templates.
2- why is the default template presently used (Acceuil) is not indicated as such in Backlight/Designer/Templates/Page Templates
Because it is not set as the default template: Backlight > Designer > Templates > Acceuil > Edit Properties
What I do is look at the URL ( $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI] ) as you mentioned. There may be a better way but I don't know it either.
I have a function that is based on the same technique:
function page_match($gallery) {
if (substr($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], 0, strlen($gallery)) == $gallery) {
return 1;
} else {
return 0;
}
}This function returns 1 for subpage matches too, eg, page_match('/blog'). This works well for my purpose.
For my site, I modified the menu handling. With a combination of CSS and maybe some jquery you can disable or modify the appearance of the sub menus as I did.
I just tried using phplugins to add the meta description and keywords to pages using the ttg_head hook at it seems to work but I won't be able to see how it affects search results for a while.
But then it would be nice to have the twitter and open graph fields set as well.
Maybe the easiest might be to have a ttg_meta hook that can replace the default settings. This way one can target specific pages from phplugins and add whatever one desires.
Maybe even easier, if Backlight would not set empty fields, they could then be easily added with the existing ttg_head hook. I don't know what's happening if the same metadata field is set twice, first without content and then a second time with content.
Question 2. If I get a minimal hosting configuration from, say Bluehost, can I FTP my website back to GoDaddy and have it work? Or does it need to be created on the hosting server?
Yes, this should work.
But going this route, you might want to try WAMP or MAMP first. This way you publish to a local server on your machine and then you can FTP everything to your GoDaddy server.
But this sounds like a lot of work and wasted time. Honestly, I would just bite the bullet and move your site to Bluehost or another recommended host. Then you can try to get your money back from GoDaddy, specially with the feedback that they don't support modsec on your package.
I noticed that I still have several CE4 Publisher instances installed in LR. Could this be an issue? I thought that the various instances were independent
You can have CE4 Publishing Services along Backlight Publishing Services. I have them as well. They both you the same TTG Publisher plugin.
I am able to upload to the server using the Web module and the Verizon hotspot
So initially you got an error and now it works? Did you change anything?
Just curious, do you post from a laptop? If yes, it might be interesting if you went to an internet cafe and tried to post from there. This way you might circumvent GoDaddy's denial-of-service prevention for a bit by having a different IP address and likely a much slower connection.
Thanks for your help. I got it now. Was having a senior moment there.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Ok, I got the current download but I am somewhat confused on which update procedure(s) to use because of the the release #nomenclature. I am currently showing that I have update "TTG Backlight version: 1.2.2" on my Backlight Dashboard.Now what procedure steps in the instructions do I follow to get from 1.2.2 to to 1.2.3 release 2 ?
Jim
This is what the readme.txt file has to say about that:
=== To update from earlier versions of Backlight+Pages to Backlight+Pages 1.2.3 Release 2: ====
Follow upgrade instructions for 1.2.3 Release 1, below.The URL for this website is http://www.kuvauspalvelurintala.fi/asia … -team-2017
