Metadata 1 & 2 not showing correct token. ? No matter what token i use, just get file name. thx
did you change the token after initially publishing the images? If so, you need to republish. If using Lightroom, there’s a Publisher setting to update metadata without having to republish the pictures themselves.
Yes Rod, I did republish bothways with meta on and off in the publisher.
If i turn them off in the album template or change colour it updates but wont show any change to token value.
did you try clearing browser cache?
can you post a link to the album?
I’m stumped. Is this happening to all albums or just this one?
Yes its all, just checked another
Changed album template to Album Starter - Classic, same issue.
This is what I’m seeing in the template you’re using: Album Starter - Masonry
For the Artist token, Artist needs to be capitalized
Metadata Two is turned off
ok Capitals, but {D3} or {Lens} doesnt work either
all i get in meta 1 is title & meta 2 is file name
in the template, metadata 2 was turned off. Make sure you’re using the correct template
Yeah i am also trying to diagnose whats going on hence the colour changes.
Just chgecked exifdata from gallery

Hi @rod_barbee
No resolution of issue.
Diagnostic steps so far.
- updated PHP to 8.1
- reinstalled all backlight modules including publisher
- made a new Kookaburra page, album set, & album with default settings, OOTB.
- setup new publish collection in LRc (latest version, lrcat checked recently)
- checked ‘all metadata’ included in publisher
- published new collection
So no fix for pangolin album & kookaburra also acting similar.
Kookaburra album
Other observations.
- Other settings / adjustments, colour, text, on/off works.
- No metadata on kookaburra slideshow
- Kookaburra slideshow just says ‘{Caption}’
I can not get any other metadata tokens to work, leaving the setting blank publishes Title & Caption on kookaburra grid & Title & Filename on pangolin
. I think I need more help. 
Steve
Actually, it shows {Captions}, plural. The token is {Caption}
Since you’re using Lightroom to publish, the problem may be in Lightroom. I’d try clearing Lightroom preferences and republishing. Clearing the preferences file can solve all sorts of strange things.
