Community @ The Turning Gate

The entire site got republished overnight, and the errant watermarks are now gone.  Please mark this as resolved...

... and thanks for all your help on this!

Yep, they were turned off, as part of earlier instructions given to me in this thread.

HOWEVER, breakthrough! 

I had the 'features' on each album different to see if any would work.  I just found that if I have the watermark turned off on the Publisher, _and_ the album feature set to "let Lightroom manage watermarks" then the watermark does indeed finally go away!

No other combination of settings seemed to do it.  I am now republishing the entire library again, and hopefully will now have this licked, and the site ready to announce to my adoring public.

Bingo!  Didn't even know about that lock, but I must have clicked it by mistake.  Just Googled "iphone rotation lock" and found where the control is. Turned it off, and it now rotates properly on my phone too.

Thanks.  And please mark this as resolved.

hmmm... It doesn't rotate on my iPhone 5.   I just tried it on my wife's iPhone 6, and it _does_ rotate there...?

I also see that when she runs Chrome on her iPhone 6, the menus do not show up (the ones created in CE4 on the main page).  I had to switch to Safari to use my site on her phone (I default to Safari on mine).

I selected every album under TTG Publisher, chose "mark for republish," then pressed the Publish button and waited until it was done.

On Firefox, I then did a refresh of the album page.  When complete, clicked on a photo and scrolled through images.  They all still have the watermark...?

Here is one page with the problem -- http://www.mindstormphoto.com/galleries/art/mercado/

(I also switched to Safari, which had never seen this website before, in case there was a caching problem.  Safari also sees the watermarks where there should be none.)

Now I have the opposite problem -- I cannot eliminate the watermark??

I had told LR Publisher to use my PNG watermark, and told all albums to let LR manage watermarks.  It all worked.

Unfortunately, I have found that a universal watermark won't really work -- the color of the watermark and its location need to change to meet the needs of each image.  I therefore told LR Publish to not use watermarks (turned off the check box).  All my images still have the png watermark though?

I then created a blank text watermark.  No text, no shadow, opacity of zero. Called it "Blank" and told LR Publish to use that watermark.  However, it still shows my prior png watermark.

I tried changing the albums to use a different watermark, instead of "let LR manage" -- you guessed it, the png watermark still shows.

How do I now get rid of the universal watermark, so I can use Photoshop to add a specific mark to each image independently?

Please mark this issue resolved.

The problem was that I had manually entered the sub-menus, but had also clicked the item to include submenus up to 3 levels.  That resulted in two versions of each sub-menu.

I have now gone back and renamed my albums such that they can auto-add to the menu and look as desired.

CE4 put the title above and the caption below.  I would have preferred that approach again, but I guess I can live with this limitation.

If they are to appear on the same line, I would want a delimiter between them, probably colon or dash.  However, if there is no title, I would not want the delimiter.  Is there a way to indicate that an item is to be conditional, based on whether a field is empty or not?

That is, something along the lines of:

     {Title} <colon if Title is not empty> {Caption}

?

Problem resolved itself when I rebooted my Mac.  Seems that only restarting the Finder after using Terminal to turn on hidden wasn't enough...?

Is there a way to indicate a topic is resolved, so others don't waste time on it going forward?
