Once I zipped the file it went through to email

Ben,
I am doing a bunch of random searches right now and it seems that almost all the broken albums in the search are from the wild gallery. I know I had some from earlier client galleries though. Seems that maybe its the album sets within album sets that have given the most issue.

Hi Ben,

I did recreate the wild album in Lightroom but when I tried to publish it says :
Can’t update this collection. The containing album set has not yet been created on the server. Edit the parent Alubm set to save it to the server before publishing to this album. When I try to publish the album set "Wild" I get the same message. I'm trying to publish the wild folder inside the Wildlife folder, as it was previously.

To get the wild and other albums off the server I first removed via Lightroom but that only removed them from my Lightroom galleries. Lightroom gives me this message:
You may delete this collection from Lightroom's catalog anyway, but it may remain on the service.

From there I went in and manually removed the folders via ftp.

It isn't the only album broken in the search. Any and all albums that I have manually taken off because Lightroom didn't fully remove them (as per the message above) show up in search. I am unaware of how many albums there might be as many of them were temporary galleries that I put up for clients and then later removed. But almost all my searches result in showing albums that do not exist.

Thanks Ben!

Daniel,

Really love your site as well Especially that first image that comes up on your slideshow - gorgeous!
I love how the moon mimics the light ~ and then all the colors of light in the background as though mini moons. Beautiful

thank you Daniel,

LR prevented me from doing it, stating there was a duplicate and that it would add a number behind the name (I am not sure now the exact wording).

Hoping Ben will check in and give some info on how to get rid of the old album set. Its happening with any deleted albums I have. When I'd delete them in LR it would state that even if I deleted it in LR that the album may still exist on the server. That is when I'd go in and manually delete the album.

Thank you

I wonder if I have any files that are unnecessary after migrating from CE3 to CE4 and maybe one is 'holding' onto the old folder called 'wild'.
I did have to redo the wild gallery as it was another album set within wildlife. So I named the new one 'wild-birds' at 'http://www.kristenwestlake.net/gallerie … ild-birds/'

Something must still be picking up on that old one.
I have these files inside the wildlife folder where just wild-birds and mammals gallery folders live:
autoindex.xml
gallery.xml
gallery_ce3.xml
index.php
index_ce3.php
lib.php
lib_ce3.php
php_errorlog

Can I delete the ce3 files? maybe that would take care of the issue?

I'll PM you back and tell you her address

Yes, the design is a major bottleneck. I just stuck with the basic and simple white. My biggest issue is always wording my galleries and organizing them. It's tough and always evolving!

That said, I hope to work on an overhaul of simplifying the non picture portions of my site as well. I feel those areas are too wordy and while I might understand it, I think too much information tends to either bore or overwhelm others. Seeing a ton of print (unless its an article) on a website page is less effective than an effectively written simple paragraph or two.

On another note, I am heading out (driving) to Washington state to see my sister and to photograph enroute, around, and on the way back. It would be awesome to meet you for coffee or lunch if you are around. I know I will be with my sister from next Thursday through the following Wed (27th). and my schedule is not firm ..

Perfecto Rod!

Thank you so much! Worked like a charm on firefox and hopefully on ie too!
