One album randomly disappearing

Something very odd is happening on a ZenPhoto gallery I set up for a client. Twice now, one specific album in the gallery has spontaneously disappeared. Same one both times. It will just suddenly not be there on the main gallery page, with nothing having been changed in the admin or on the server to account for that.

The first time it happened, I went to the site when the client notified me, and saw that indeed the album was gone. So I went into the admin to see if he'd somehow managed to move it inside another album or what, only to find that there it was listed among the other albums just like it always had been. So I went back to the main gallery page, and it was back, as if it had never left. Weird. So I let the client know what had happened, even though I still wasn't sure why.

The next day, I got a message from him saying it had happened again, but this time I was out when the message came, so I didn't get to check the gallery until a couple of hours later, when the album had already reappeared on its own.

Has anyone else ever run into anything like this? I did search the forums, but didn't find any reference to it. The site is using ZenPhoto 1.1.3 and a modified version of the ThinkDreams theme, if that helps any. The site URL is http://www.stevestober.com/gallery/ and the album that disappeared (twice) is the Infants & Pregnancy one.

I will try upgrading to 1.1.6 tonight and see if that helps. But if anyone else has encountered this before or has any ideas what might cause it, please let me know. Thanks!

  • This sounds very much like the album has been marked as unpublished. If this were the case, it would show up when you are logged in as an admin (Admins can see everything) but not when someone is not logged in.
