I want to copy the 'testing' site http://garyphotosgallery.com/garylittle/ to the new 'live' site just to make certain at that time it will work.
I tried just copying everything over to /public_html in my Bluehost base site.
When I enter http://garyphotosgallery.com I get the first page (without the masthead image ??) but when I try to go the /Galleries (or any other page) it somehow brings up the testing site url Http://garyphotosgallery.com/garylittle/galleries, etc.
I am missing something (probably because I have never done this before.
Any Help??

You'll need to log in to Backlight, go to Settings, and change the company and site url

The only problem I ran into was the 'live' site could not utilize the Masthead image I had previously uploaded. I tried resetting the image name, didn't work, had to reupload the image and give it another name. It worked.

Yes. After developing in a sub-folder or sub-domain, any images you uploaded via the Backlight uploader will need to be uploaded again.

Rod, I'm not sure why that should be the case. It's definitely not by design.

It's been my experience when moving from one subdomain to another and also when moving a WAMP based test site to a subdomain on the server.

I just realize that this was with beta versions. I've not yet tested a release version.

i moved from a test directory to an upper level one and the images did not require re-uploading. i did, of course, have to change the URL in the BL page (and change the URL of my background page in the custom CSS file).

Ben,
I just tried copying my test site (using latest release) to another sub-domain. The only uploaded image that made the trip over was what looks like a corrupted version of the favicon.
It's not a big deal to upload the images again as I keep them in a specific folder on my pc. But I thought I'd let you know.

I may have to take that back. Initially, uploaded images failed to load (Masthead, About page image). I re-uploaded the Masthead image and that worked. I then cleared template cache (note to self: always do this first) and then the image on the About page showed up.
