Recent Photos Gallery won't show...

1126park

Here's the situation:

I have a site where everything by design is unlisted. I am using the site primarily as an off-site archive, while still allowing me to access my photos from anywhere if I log in, or to send a link to a specific photo to a friend (they can see the picture, but can't access anything else on the site).

I am using the Nyx theme, and have the multiple photos content on the home page set to show the 200 most recently uploaded photos. Until recently, everything was working fine - when I went to the site I saw a nice landscape collage of recently uploaded pictures.

Today I logged on and discovered that it now shows none. The only way to see the pictures is if I set the various folders and galleries to Public, which means that while I can now see them, so can everyone else.

Why was this changed, and can it be changed back? If I am logged in then even unlisted galleries / photos should show as I am the owner? I don't want to resort to a site-wide password, as this will no longer allow me to share links, since the person I am sharing them with would need the password and then have access to everything.

Thanks in advance for your help!

This was causing a ton of confusion among many customers, so we added a new toggle to the Multiple Photos block called 'Visitor View'. Change it to "Off" and you should see them again.

Thanks - that worked! One more quick question - is there a way to have the UNLISTED tag removed on the thumbs or in the galleries?

Not currently. We understand the desire though, so we'll be looking at it more closely.
