There’s the option in settings to redirect http to https; that’s it. There’s nothing special that Kookaburra does with any of this.
@wongchoy1 Please make sure your cPanel chooses with your host are not interfering with Backlight. For example, like I said above, the folder permissions may be problematic for you. Enable HTTPS redirect in Backlight’s settings, and make sure your host isn’t messing with that as well.
Thanks Matt & Rod !!! changing setting to the below seems to have solved I just checked it quickly and will test more later today. Anyway - thanks both.
oops ! it worked on a few albums then hit the problem again. cannot workout the pattern between what I do and the issue. I will read the rest of the instructions and try reassigning album templates from within backlight. I have not touched cPanel today and not sure how to check if it interferes with backlight. there were a few other oddities : when I published one album today it auto-opened another album at the end of publishing. it did that a few times. but i restarted lightroom and it did not do it again. also i notice that after I change album templates between pangdolin and kookaburra and visa versa, mark to republish, and republish - it runs quite fast. I expect it is just updating meta data on backlight and not fully republishing … and not sure if normal. I am just testing between meetings so will test more when get a chance to try to work out the pattern. I will try reassigning album templates in backlight and then try totally removing directory security and see if either of those solve.
OK - now it works again !! To fix, I suddenly had a bright idea and added the “s” to the end of HTTP in the following settings – which i guess is also what Matt instructed me to do but i just missed it the first time. Will test more to confirm.
