Community @ The Turning Gate

If you would like to look at an example of a site built on Wordpress then feel free to check out any of mine. Just as you are considering, I use the Wordpress theme to create all of my text pages. Then I also have auto index, publisher, galleries, and the cart running to power those sides of my sites which are all linked together through the navigation. I highly recommend the Wordpress theme. I can't compare it to using Pages because I don't have a copy of that, but I found Wordpress to do everything I want. I also haven't had any problems with it, and it fits in with everything else beautifully. I especially like the ease of having Wordpress manage all of my navigation links and the fact that I can create unlimited pages and use any plugin.

As far as managing blog images in Wordpress the CE4 theme is no different than any other Wordpress plugin. You simply upload images through the media manager and then choose to insert them into posts or pages. Like Rod, I just export images out of Lr and then upload them.

Can you please explain where specifically you are having trouble? Is it with the password part, or the download part of the gallery that you are having problems with? Also, are you using publisher? If you haven't seen it already, the documentation has some information on password protection here: http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … rotection. Lastly, a link to the gallery that you are having trouble with will greatly speed things up.

If your old blog was made using Wordpress and you plan on making a new CE4 Wordpress blog than the transfer should be relatively easy. Wordpress has export and import features so the transfer should be complete. A quick google search just pulled up this article on transferring blogs and it appears to cover all the steps from exporting to importing: https://kb.greengeeks.com/933/how-to-tr … o-another/

I would check this link and make sure that all of your .lrwebengine and .lrtemplate files are in the proper places.
http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … tall_ce4&s[]=templates. Also, the .lrtemplate files are really important because they hold all of your settings so make sure you don't lose those.

Thanks Rod,
I'm not entirely sure if the blog has to be in the root. I just grabbed the code from Wordpress and added the classes and TTG function for styling and proper integration. That would be a good thing to test though. I'll look into it more, but it might be a while before I have the time to set up a test site to try it out on.

Hi Mat,
I've thought about CRG but I don't do enough client work right now for it (I'd like to play with it at some point). Also, I don't have the extra money at the moment, so I'll play with this for a while.

Thanks you guys for doing this as I really like the way this looks. I did play around with it some, and I added to the code so that drop-down menu items on mobile devices are indented 50px to make it easier to see. I am still learning, so if anyone sees an improvement to the code that I could make please let me know.
Here is what I am using now:

/*MENU ALIGNMENT*/
@media only screen and (max-width: 784px) {
#nav span a, 
#nav span a:hover, 
#nav > span:first-child > a, 
#nav li a, 
#nav li a:hover, 
#nav li span, 
#nav li li a, 
#nav li li span,  
#nav > li:first-child > a     {
text-align: left;
}
#nav li ul li > a {
    margin-left: 50px;
    }

#nav li ul li > a:hover {
    margin-left: 50px;
    }
.js #r2d2-menu ul#nav li {
        width: 100%;
        }
.js #r2d2-menu #nav li.has-submenu > a.expand-submenu {
    padding-left: 8px;
    width: 35%;
    width: calc(35% - 3px);
        }
}

Thanks Mat!

Well, it looks like the really weird problems have gone away which is great. I hope that android fixes their mail bug, but I'm not so worried about that now because it works on all the other devices I've tried.

Hi Rod,
Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it. I'm glad that it works on the iPhone, but it is strange what is happening on the android. I will try and play with it a bit more to see if I can get it to work, or maybe someone else who has an android can take a look. On your iPhone, are the sharing buttons working properly inside the touch popup?

The browser is chrome, and the Android OS is 4.4.4. I don't know too much about the phone or Android because it isn't my device.
