help moving 1TestSite/backlight to main site.

I removed all of the CE3 albums and album sets from rossdickinson.com from within Lightroom. Because of some broken links I had to manually delete some of the top level directories via FTP. I'm seeing some more residual CE2 CE3 things I should probably clean as well. I think fragments, galleries, photos, phpplugins, publisher, resources and thumbnails should also be removed as they were part of CE2 or CE3 which I am no longer using. Please confirm this for me.

Also could you point me to a document that covers what I need to do next. I've pieced together some information from different searches, but I'm not 100% comfortable in how to proceed.

The test site is in a subdirectory.  http://rossdickinson.com/1TestSite/home/

Thank you
Ross Dickinson

Re: help moving 1TestSite/backlight to main site.

There is no document. You should be able to simply copy everything from the test sub-folder into the root of your site:
backlight/
galleries/
index.php
.htaccess

Then log into Backlight and change the site URL in Settings. You may need to re-upload any images previously uploaded with the Backlight uploader.
And yes, you should remove previous TTG files.

Re: help moving 1TestSite/backlight to main site.

Thank you Rod. My question involves having several other top-level galleries, Travel, Events and TBGO (a marching band we traveled with). Their publisher services point to, http://rossdickinson.com/1TestSite/backlight/publisher/. Will that get changed behind the scene, so to speak, when I make the changes to the Backlight settings for to Company and Site URLs?

Re: help moving 1TestSite/backlight to main site.

they should. Remember to also change the api url in lightroom.

you might test it all first by copying over to another test sub-folder or sub-domain.

and be sure to leave your development site intact until you're sure everything is working as expected.
