No difference, won’t login.
I looked at your site at https://www.piktour.uk/backlight/
That page looks like a Backlight 1 login.
Did you upload files from Backlight 1?
Also, did you overwrite the data/ folder earlier?
It may well have been…TBH I’ve been trying any old files I could find!
Also that was done at home with the data I have stored there.
I’m in the office now where I’ve found a backup that I took last November. I’ve copied over the Backlight folders and have actually managed to login now!
However, the front end doesn’t work…it says it cannot find the index page.
What’s the best plan from here?
PS. I logged in with my original login
log in and check that your home page is set to be the index page
Unfortunately all my Page & Album Templates are missing.
What folder would they have been stored in?
They are stored in the database.
Did you overwrite your data folder when you were replacing things?
If so, did you have a backup of the data folder that you can upload?
If you don’t, I’m afraid you’ll have to start over.
But you can at least geta home page to display. Just log into Backlight p, go to Designer > Pages and click on Home. Click on Edit Properties and set the page to be the index page.
Thankfully our webhosts came to the rescue, they had a backup of the site!
Don’t really know why I didn’t think of them in the first place…it would have saved a ton of stress…and your time, sorry.
So I’ve upgraded to BL4 but we appear to have lost the titles on all the Thumbnails. Is that something to do with the new Lightroom Publisher that’s avialable? Or is it something else I’ve managed to break?
Also can you tell me if BL4 is compatible with PHP8?
Do you mean the thumbnails in the albums or album sets?
Make sure that your album template is displaying titles on thumbnails.
You may need to republish the metadata.
In the album set, it looks like the text color and background color are the same, which makes it look like the text is missing.
I believe BL4 is compatible with php 8. I think @Ben has addressed that in the forum so you could try a search to see what he’s said.
