Community @ The Turning Gate

Just a heads up that I experienced the following after moving two v1.2.3 BL websites across hosting providers... After the moves, everything was behaving as before, except both websites were not displaying mastheads, on both desktops and mobiles. Everything looked fine in BL Designer -- needed uploaded image files were listed as present and templates also listed the correct images. I fixed the problem by deleting the uploaded files and then re-uploading them, and re-selecting them in the templates. Something that might explain the cause is the fact that the websites were moved to different directory locations relative to the hosting account's root. So, maybe somewhere in BL an absolute path is being used?

My newly migrated BL Pangolin website http://rick.samcos.com has its /galleries managed by BL and all other pages managed by Wordpress using a theme generated by BL's WordPress module. My WordPress home page is very simple and is formatted with TTG's responsive grid_12:

<div class="grid_12">
<div class="col_4 gutter_12px collapse clearfix">Welcome to my photography and travel website. Feel free to explore my photo galleries and blog!</div>
<div class="col_8 gutter_12px collapse clearfix">[slideshow_deploy id='802']</div>
</div>
<!-- .grid_12 -->

The grid's columns get stacked (as they should) on a small displays (e.g., iPhone6s). But the page gets truncated when the device is rotated from landscape to portrait. It appears to me that the page contents don't get resized and therefore spill off the right edge. A page refresh does correctly resize the page.

After running the migration script on my CE4 website, I have ended up with two "phantom" albums which show up in a album set but don't exist on the website. They have no thumbnail and get a 404 error when clicked. I suspect that they were hidden garbage in my CE4 database which became visible when copied to BL. Here are the two instances:

Album Set http://rick.samcos.com/galleries/g-2016/d-Dolomites/ has extra, erroneous "Western Dolomites" album

Album Set http://rick.samcos.com/galleries/o-2008 … rn-Oregon/ has extra, erroneous "Steens Mountain" album

Is there a way for me to remove them (e.g., create & then delete a new album "on top of" the bad one with same slug) or does the database need editing by someone?

I am trying to decrease the height of the band which holds BL's primary horiz. navigation menu. That is, decrease the padding above and below the actual menu items. The Designer does have the Navigation Horiz. Menu "Padding-top" and "Padding-bottom" controls for setting this padding's size but they are already set to 0 so I can't shrink them further. I experimented with different custom.css values for

without any effect, up or down (even with an !important). My CSS skills aren't good enough to go further on my own. Any suggestions?

Using the TTG Publisher in Lightroom to publish large photo sets (album sets or albums) to GoDaddy shared-server hosted BL or CE4 websites aborts after a short while. The displayed message seems to imply that the returned server code is 12152:

)

After this occurs, the server refuses all further interactions of any kind for 1-2 minutes; e.g., browser accesses return an “ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE“ error. When the server starts responding again, the Lightroom publish can be restarted and will resume where it left off.

My guess is that TTG Publisher is exceeding some GoDaddy resource limit and the account is briefly quarantined as a result. During such a problematic publishing session, the server's cPanel monitor shows normal CPU, Memory, etc. usage levels. That is, the cPanel monitor shows no resource that reaches a maximum, or even jumps up in value. I have spent some time with GoDaddy support and they believe that some other, software threshold is being exceeded. But they don't seem to have a clue what it might be. I increased the server's PHP execution time limit threshold, but that had no effect.

Anyone experienced this and have any suggestions? It's a PITA to only be able to republish about 40 images at a time after migrating from CE4 to BL. BTW, this problem occurs whether (re-)publishing everything or just metadata and/or thumbnails.
