I am in Panama City Panama and just realized an update removed my Turning gate Lightroom plugin. I forgot my order number. How can I download the file for Lightroom. Windows 10. Thanks

Phew !!! Thanks. Very nervous about deleting with FTP, especially when I don't know what I am doing. They(Hong Kong) are gone and the rest of my site looks "normal".. I downloaded a copy of the folder before deleting just in case. If I didn't want to use my desktop publisher to upload them to the site again could I just manually place the same folder back up there?
Thanks again.
No, I don't want to keep the album. I already deleted all the albums pertaining to the set and the album. I don't see any trace of Honk Kong album or set in the database. My plan was to just republish from my desktop.
Good news and a little bad. I followed the directions. Deleted my Hong Trip Kong(typo) album set and then logged out. I now still have the Hong Kong Trip album's original thumb nail and when I click on it I see a blank page that says "{"status":"error","message":"The album could not be found."}". I am sure either I missed a step or there is another step to do. Looks like a mine field in there.
Thanks again Rod. Will check it out.
I accidently deleted my trip publisher albums on my laptop while on a trip and I would like to know how to take the albums down from my site without messing up my desktop published albums. I tried searching but found nothing.
thanks
Jim
Hi Rod,
I updated today with the latest versions and everything seems to working well. In reading thru the various posts I saw that I am not the only one being a bit confused and unsure when updating plugins.
I finally decided that I would make a cheat sheet on the procedure to follow for my particular setup. Windows 7 and a basic site with no cart.
I made a folder on my desktop labeled "CE4 Updates_current date". In the folder I have sub-folders for "unzipped Plugins", "exported LR Templates" and a shortcut to the Lightroom plugin location. I also bookmarked FileZilla with the various web locations that I would access.
Below is the procedure that I followed today and everything seems to be working fine. I know this is not a great revelation but for someone that is not terribly familiar with web sites navigation and relatively infrequent updates, this is a great crutch for me. I am open to any suggestions/improvements or corrections.
CE4 Update Notes for Windows 7
Change Gateway firewall to low settings
Bookmark site locations with filezilla bookmarks
Shortcut for Lightroom Web folder location
Download new updates to download folder
Extract all files to desktop “unzipped plug-in folder”
Replace all updated .irwebengine plugins in Lightroom web gallery (delete, copy, paste)
CE4 Pages, Gallery, Auto-Index, Stage
For CE4 Publisher update: follow readme directions on Publisher
Upload ttg-be files to website ttg-be folder as per update readme text doc
Log into TTB-Be Admin and click around (not sure why)
Open Lightroom
Go to Web Module
Check all new plugins updated that they are new version
Open each updated plugin and update user template for same
Export updated plugin to desktop “exported plugins” folder
CE4 Pages
CE4 Gallery
CE4 Auto_Index
CE4 Stage
Upload exported plugins to Website as follows:
CE4 Pages content folders to: public_html
CE4 Gallery folder into: ttg-be/template
CE4 Auto-Index folder into: ttg-be/template
CE4 Stage folder to: ttg-be/template
Thanks again for your patience and help.
Jim
Thanks, will check it out.

I lost some of the most recent CE4 email updates as a result of restoring my system yesterday. I have the CE4 gallery, Pages and Auto Index emails dated 6/30 and 7/1/15. I know there were more 6/30 updates. How do I get them.
Thanks
Jim
I agree with you. So far I have been lucky, but I feel the same way. I would hate to update Windows or Lightroom the same way.
Having said that, the CE4 plugins are a great way to make a website that is incredibly easy to use and update. Don't understand why Adobe has not bought them out yet.
Ok, after restoring my computer to yesterday I exported CE4page(version 7013) from lightroom and filezilloed it to my website. My gallery is now working again.
Thanks again for your help. I think I will hold off updating with latest versions.
Jim
Thanks for your help. I certainly can wait. I know I am not the only one having this problem. Thanks again
Jim
Man, what a mess. I restored my computer to yesterday when all was well, I restored my website to yesterday as well and I still don't have a gallery page other than that garbage is showed earlier. Where is this coming from?
If I restore my website to yesterday would that bring back the website and then I could work on lightroom seperately?
I did the update and this is what my gallery page looks like. My home page and other pages are ok. Suggestions appreciated.
This is what my gallery page looks like.

This is probably going to be the first of several update questions.
I updated Ce4 publisher 2.03 several days ago when the update came out. Everything is working fine as far as I know.
I noticed that the Publisher update that came out today had an additional step which said to insert CRG-Default onto my site. Currently I do not have a CRG-Default in the target location but I have a Cart-Default.
questions:
Do I have to repeat the full publisher update again?
do I need to insert the CRG-Default into the target location even though I don't have one now?
Do I need the Cart default?
Thanks
Jim

Thanks for the quick reply. That's what I thought too. I need to redo them all anyway. So far no problems publishing and republishing. Now I need to understand all the changes that are incorporated.
So far so good.
Thanks again
I just updated to 2.3 CE4 Publisher. I logged into Publisher/admin and confirmed that I had the new version installed. I also updated my galleries while there. Not sure why, but I did.
I also replaced the CE4 Publisher plugin in LR with the latests .Irplugin.
I then went went to my Light Room 5 plugin manager and it confirmed I had the latest 2.3 version also. Everything seems to working fine , but now all my Lightroom publisher albums want me to republish. Is there any reason to republish all my albums or can I just leave them as is (republish)? or until I have a need to republish. Did do something wrong while in the plug in manager when I clicked saved?
Thanks
Jim
Thanks, will give it a try.
I just got back from a trip to Peru where I took my laptop and posted some albums from the laptop while there. I am now home and imported the LR photos and catalog into my master desktop catalog. Everything is looking good except that the Peru albums are not showing up in my CE4 Publisher collection on my desktop. They are still on my website though. Is there a way to either sync or regenerate the Peru albums on desktop with out taking down the laptop albums and redoing them on the desktop from scratch?
Thanks
Jim
Thanks for your help yesterday. I made a dumb mistake yesterday while updating and finally figured it out and got it corrected.
I really like TG plugins for Lightroom and my site that I built from it but the updates in many ways provide more of a challenge than the original construction. I really enjoyed figuring out the original installation and got a lot of satisfaction from it. That said though, when you get away from the details of the procedures after a month or two it is easy to make a mistakes that bring down the whole site. Being 76 years old does not help.
What would be helpful, at least to someone at my level, would be separate document instructions relating to updates and the type of updates in general. I finally found the information but I had to go through a lot of docs to refresh myself with the original installation procedure. I was also fortunate to be using a web hosting service that does backups of my site and I was able to restore those files affected by update mistake.
Jim
I was afraid of this which is why I was asking those questions. It worked initially. My site now crashed.
What do you think?
I can restore to pre-update from my web host backup
Jim
Ok great, that is what I did. Why wouldn't you updated the files on the website?
Thanks again
Jim
Thanks, I found those before. I understand how to updating on my computer and lightroom with the updates but should I also upload the contents of Pages and Gallery to my website as well and overwrite those ?
I understand that I need to it for TTG-be and then only the Admin and Frame work folders and then log into admin
