Something's changed - where's my bio gone...

OvertheHill

Checked my site at www.personalpaparazzi.co.uk like I do regularly and noticed my bio has disappeared. It's there when I log in, with my picture, but isn't displayed in either IE6 or Firefox when not. I haven't changed anything - any idea what's happened? Thanks

Hi overthehill,

Firstly, please in future quote your smugmug address not your custom hostname. It just makes it easier for us to track stuff down.

Have you checked that "display on homepage" is selected for your bio ? As if I remove your customisation, I don't see anything including any galleries.

The other thing you need to be careful of, you have use the ".loggedIn" css attribute quite often, this may lead to differences/problems if not used correctly.

Cheers,

David

Sorry about that. As I said I haven't changed anything and it's ages since I set this up. Where is "display on homepage" for my bio - I don't recall that checkbox?

Hi OvertheHill,

Hmmm... I see your site is http://personalpaparazzi.smugmug.com but I can only see your header when I'm logged out. Not only does your bio disappear, but also your photo galleries.

Looking at your customization (accessed from the control panel), it looks like you've blocked a lot of things when logged out:

#userHome { display: none; }

.homepage .title {display: none;}
.homepage p {display: none;}
.homepage .panel p {display: block;}

.homepage #breadcrumb {
visibility:hidden;
}
.homepage .boxTop {
visibility:hidden;
}
.homepage .albumTitle {
visibility:hidden;
}
.homepage .description {
visibility:hidden;
}
.homepage .updated {
visibility:hidden;
}

.loggedIn .homepage #breadcrumb {
visibility:visible;
}
.loogedIn .homepage .boxTop {
visibility:visible;
}

.loggedIn .homepage .albumTitle {
visibility:visible;
}
.loggedIn .homepage .description {
visibility:visible;
}
.loggedIn .homepage .updated {
visibility:visible;
}

Hi - the galleries on the home page are not meant to appear, nor are the messages saying there are no public galleries. It's meant to be a very simple page with just the bio and bio picture on it (and was until sometime in the last few days or so). I haven't changed anything for months (since the last time something changed and "broke it" !!)

I'm a little stumped myself. I will continue to investigate.

Meantime... change "looged" to "logged" in your CSS.

Looged changed! Thanks for looking Andy

I have to ask JT to look at this one, if I take all your CSS out of the equation via FF webdev, I still don't get your bio on the logged out page.

I know - first thing I did was cut all the CSS out and still didn't get the bio. I do get it when logged in however

Did you recently make all galleries private?

Try making one gallery not-private, see if that makes a difference...

Yep, that's the answer! I just validated.

OvertheHill

Don't know what's going on but the bio just reappeared along with an empty gallery!

And all of my galleries are not public!

OvertheHill

Ah, now I see.

Does that mean I have to have at least one public gallery?

Yes. And then you can hide that stuff from your homepage..

OvertheHill

Done - thanks for the help!!
