I see similar behavior with a Pangolin Album set. https://stalkinglight.com/galleries/
Note that the cover image is random on the albums in the set and there is a mix of landscape and portrait formats in the albums.
It may have been a few versions back when I implemented it but it was working when I did since I did all my testing while logged in. It's no big deal to me since it is still visible to all who aren't logged in.
Note that this same thing worked ok in Okapi.
I have a video menu item that is an album set with hidden from album set checked. It works fine until I log into Backlight and then it disappears. If I log out of backlight it shows back up.
Weird. I didn't have to remove and republish any pictures I just changed the album template and pushed the metadata. I expect I cleared the template cache in there somewhere too.
Thanks.
You can set TTG publisher to push metadata without updating existing photos which makes the update much faster.
That's correct and probably easier than what I did. I duplicated mine only because I was bouncing back and forth between Okapi and Pangolin for a while.
I just created a new album and put the same images in it as my Okapi slideshow and uploaded it to use. Once I'm 100% happy with Pangolin I'll delete the old album.
Thanks, I'm just happy I'm not totally crazy. I've been clearing caches and restarting browsers all morning. ;-)
That's what is supposed to happen.
However, when I log into Backlight as admin I only see the videos menu item on my blog, it is missing from the other pages. When I logout of Backlight it shows back up.
I have noticed that when I am logged in to Backlight one of my menu items only shows up when I am in my blog, it's not there on the rest of my pages. When I logout of backlight it is there on all of them.
It's an album set of some videos (which are each albums). I have the 'hide from album set' radio button checked on the video album set since I don't want it to show up with my other galleries.
This is not a problem for users that are not logged in to Backlight and it seems to work just fine, I was just curious if this was a bug or something I have configured wrong.
Thanks.
You don't need the "fa " before the icon name. Try just facebook or facebook-official.
The extra dash was a typo but I did forget the semi after the color. Thanks.
Ah, OK. So when the Top Pallet stays at the top that's 'detatched' since it doesn't move with the rest of the page. I got it. I just turned width enforcement off since it looks weird when the width changes on my site.
Thanks.
BTW, I do have my site switched over to Pangolin and so far I like it better than Okapi, so thanks for the update. Good work.
I didn't know it could be detached. So what use is strict width enforcement for the Top Pallet?
Thanks.
When I have strict width enforcement on for the Top Pallet it still goes to full screen width when I scroll the page. Is this working as designed?
I am using ttg_social_top for my social media icons and I can set the color just fine but haven't been able to figure out how to change the size. I've tried both fa-lg in the class= and font-size-200%; in the style= and neither have any effect.
Thanks.
function ttg_social_top ( $style, $path ) {
echo '

Ah yes, I forgot I had to hack that file in Okapi. Thanks.
As i recall, if http is changed to https it will work with both http and https sites.
I did create a new template, I just used the same settings as the Okapi one.
I'm having trouble getting Youtube video to display in Pangolin. I converted my Okapi templates to Pangolin and hen I look in the source I see the correct Youtube link to the video but it's not playing (or displaying anything in the frame). I'm sure I must have missed some simple step.
An example link is https://stalkinglight.com/galleries/vid … g-the-res/
I decided to go with a graphic logo and I assume I just missed something when I was playing around with fonts before. Sorry about my confusion.
I can set something up when I get a chance. So far I've only looked at it it the WP theme live preview so I haven't got anything that can be linked to directly.
It turns out it doesn't matter what font I use, the title doesn't show up in the Top Pallet using the Wordpress theme generated with Pangolin.
