Have a gallery shell (no photos yet), 8 albums with 7 subalbums each. Effervescence-plus tweaked. 2-3 plug-ins. It's slow on load every time, 8 seconds MacOSX Safari4.0, 8 seconds MacOSX Firefox3.5, 8 seconds PC Internet Explorer. Pretty consistent.

Any ideas?

Pretty old version of ZP.

I just downloaded it a couple days ago.... I see ZP 1.4.1.1, can I just update to that?

Yes. Where did you download from? 1.3.1.2 is almost a year old.

Anyway, there have probably been changes to the themes since then, so first try with an unmodified version of Effervescence+. Also, put some images in your albums. It may sound strange but it probably takes longer to generate thumbnails when ZP has to search everywhere for images.

Great, thanks. I used the updater and having difficulty with the host. It's all set and I had them turn register_globals:off but still getting an error msg. We're working on it.

The 1.3.1.2 was loaded with Simple Scripts through my host, iPage.com

This is the error msg. I get, even after the host says the settings have been changed. Any ideas?

Error!
PHP Register globals presents a security risk to any PHP application. See Using Register Globals. Zenphoto refuses to operate under these conditions. Change your PHP.ini settings to register_globals = off.

If you "think" you have set this to off please check again. Probably you have set it to the string "off" which is not the same as the constant off (no quotation marks.)

I'll check with the host, iPage...I guess they control the PHP.ini file.

FYI, it's resolved. Here's from the host:

"Please note, you do have access to your php.ini file by going to CGI and Scripted Language Support and then PHP Scripting. I noticed register_globals was set Off when it should have been off (lowercase o)."
