BUT if I go to the album management page and select either of the two albums that are not shown on the first index page and then use the 'View gallery' button I can get to page 2 and see both of the albums, i.e. index/2 does exist.

Why can't the navigation on page one find page 2?

Why does it change Every! Single! Time!

I don't know how I have not uploaded anything?

Also I can't find out how to turn the WYSIWYG editor back on the album description field with the new install.

I’m currently running into a frustrating image processing roadblock on my self-hosted Zenphoto gallery installation, and I’m hoping someone with more experience with the GD graphics library integration can point me in the right direction.

We are utilizing a private Zenphoto setup to host a massive, organized archive of structural interface layouts, UI concept mockups, and client-side testing screenshots. This gallery is dedicated to cataloging historical visual updates for a specialized [Link removed by administrator due to spam suspicion] workspace utility that our modding community develops and uses to run optimization scripts. Because these screenshots contain custom vectors and specialized interface assets, we require all uploaded items to automatically receive a transparent brand watermark via the core Zenphoto watermark plugin during the server ingestion process.

The primary problem is that whenever a contributor uploads a high-resolution PNG image with a pre-existing alpha transparency layer, the watermark plugin chokes completely. Instead of cleanly overlaying our logo, the processing script outputs a broken image block where the transparent sections are filled with a solid, corrupted black background. Checking our server logs, it looks like Zenphoto's underlying GD graphics library handler is dropping the alpha channel bitmask during the resampling phase, which breaks the image layout completely. If we upload basic JPEGs, the watermark applies flawlessly, but for our technical UI screenshots, crisp PNG quality is mandatory.

Alongside the transparency corruption, we are dealing with a secondary issue regarding category tagging stability. When a bulk upload fails due to this watermark crash, Zenphoto still saves the empty media records into our MySQL database backend. When we try to clean these up by deleting the orphaned entries from the administrative dashboard, the core tagging module freezes entirely, forcing us to manually repair our database tables to get the layout tree working again.

Has anyone else encountered severe alpha channel drops or script crashes when using the watermark extension on transparent PNGs in recent Zenphoto releases, and is there a specific PHP configuration or plugin override we can apply to force the GD handler to preserve image transparency?

The only blue button I see is the "Search thread" button.
No reply button visible - as you can see on the screenshot:

I do not see a reply button ( i am logged in).
I can post without problems but writing an answer is not possible.

Either i am blind or there is something wrong with my user rights?

(I would have attached a screenshot but, not having used your current forum before, I could not work out how to!)

Thank you,

I can't add an avatar to my account.
I can change my email address and access a lot of other information, but in the "avatar" section, there's nothing to upload an image! I get a red message saying there's no image!

Same problem with "Attachments"

I use Zenphoto mainly for managing photo albums, but recently I've started adding short video previews to some galleries.

The videos themselves are edited outside Zenphoto using CapCut for mac, and I generate thumbnail images before uploading everything to my server.

I'm trying to find the cleanest way to organize these files so that:

The thumbnail image appears as the gallery preview
The original video remains available for download or viewing
Metadata and descriptions stay linked correctly
Future uploads remain easy to manage

At the moment I'm manually creating albums and uploading the thumbnails and videos separately, but I'm wondering if there is a recommended workflow or plugin for this type of media organization.

How are other Zenphoto users handling mixed photo/video galleries?

Thanks for any suggestions.

From time to time, my website host changes the MySQL version.
I have to rerun the setup.

After redoing the setup and putting the site back online, some of my VR album titles were replaced by
"charset = Ascii {"info":{"gyro_stabilized":true,"initial_view_changed":fal "
Some images keep their titles.

The involved album contains copies of images from other albums (for pc or smartphones)
I would like to understand why and how to prevent this in the future.
