1. Is there a way to change what picture shows up as the main image for each sub gallery on the main gallery page?? Looks like it just defaults to the first image of the subgallery, but is there a way to set it to a specific image permanently??

Yes. Edit your gallery page, go to the 'Images' tab and select the image you want to use for the thumbnail on the gallery index page in the 'Index' column.

2. Is there a way to set my site header text to always go back to the main index.php page no matter what sub page it is on?? Currently it seems to work that it just refreshes whatever page is currently being viewed, but I'd like that main header text to always default back to the main page.

Yes. Go to 'Site -> Site Settings' and enter the URL you'd like to use for your site header in the 'Site -> Site header link' input field.

3. I really love the page footer links for social media that y'all have pre-setup, but as an artist I'm going to be getting an artstation page set up as more and more in my field are beginning to have these pages, and showkase currently does not have one of these footer options pre made for that. How can I go about adding a similar artstation logo and link along with the other page footer URLs I currently have active?? Is this possible??

The sharing icons that Showkase uses are characters in a custom font (created by the IcoMoon app).
If the IcoMoon library had an ArtStation logo, you could maybe have added it to the font that Showkase uses, and change the logo for a sharing option that you do not currently use.
However, there does not appear to be an ArtStation logo within the IcoMoon library so you might have to just manually add an image link to your page's footer.
You can add custom HTML code to your footer by opening your 'showkase/_themes/base/pagetypes/basetheme.tpl' file in a plain text editor and modifying the {block "footer"} ... {/block} section at the end of the file.

Thank you for running the Server Compatibility Test.

Php version    4.4.9    ✘

The fact that your server has PHP v4.4.9 is almost certainly the cause of the problem. Showkase requires PHP v5.2.0 as a minimum (please see the System Requirements).
It is highly unlikely that you would have been able to setup or run Showkase at all on PHP v4.4.9 so I suspect that the PHP version that is running on your server has recently been downgraded.
You might be able to change the PHP version yourself in your web hosting account's online Control Panel.
Otherwise, please contact your web host and ask them if they can switch you over to PHP v5.2.0 (or later).
PHP v5.2.0 was released on 2 November 2006 so Showkase does not require a super-recent version of PHP but it does require v5.2.0 or later for certain functionality that was released in this version.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /homepages/26/d233035426/htdocs/index.php on line 12

This sounds like your 'index.php' file may somehow have become corrupt (maybe through manual editing or your web host unsuccessfully reinstating your site from a backup).

And then when I try to go to the proper site for the showkase admin pages editor for my site, nothing loads...

However, this sounds like there is more to the problem.
Even if the 'index.php' file is missing, you should still be able to access the admin section of your site.
(The 'index.php' file is required to display the Showkase home page.)

Try extracting your 'showkase-pro-1.6.1.zip' file (you can download a fresh copy using the link from your purchase email if you need to) and find the 'index.php' file in the root 'showkase' directory.
Use this file to replace the 'index.php' file in on your web server (in your 'htdocs' directory).
If you are in any doubt that your existing 'index.php' file is being overwritten, try deleting it first before uploading the new version in its place.

This may help but as you are not able to access the admin section of your site, I suspect the problem may lie somewhere else.

Try installing and running the Showkase Server Compatibility Test.
Even if you ran the test before installing Showkase, please try again in case your web host has made any changes recently which are affecting Showkase functionality.
If any of the tests fail, it might give us a clue as to the nature of the problem. Also, there are troubleshooting tips in the link above.

Also, please contact your web host to see if they have experienced any problems or have made any changes recently which might somehow be contributing to your problem.
It sounds like there's a chance that there is a problem with PHP on your hosting account. Maybe your web host has changed the PHP version or a PHP setting which is adversely affecting your website.

I hope this points you in the right direction.

First of all, I should mention that you can quickly and easily change a gallery type (for example from SimpleViewer to Juicebox) within the Showkase interface. Edit the gallery page, go to the 'Advanced' tab and choose the gallery type your like to change the gallery to.
Just be aware that not all SimpleViewer configuration options have direct Juicebox equivalents (like the Watermark Options).

With regard to exporting a gallery from Showkase for use in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro, each page in a Showkase site is given its own folder in the root Showkase directory (named after its page name on the 'Pages' tab).
You should be able to download a gallery page folder from the Showkase root drectory to your computer (via FTP) and open the folder as a gallery in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro (via the 'Open Gallery' button on the 'Start' tab), where you can add a watermark (on the 'Images' tab) before uploading the folder to your server and importing it back into Showkase.

Your galleries are SimpleViewer-Pro galleries and what you are describing is the Mobile Player version of SimpleViewer galleries.

SimpleViewer-Pro is predominantly a Flash image viewer with an HTML 5 fallback (known as the Mobile Player) for mobile devices and browsers which do not have Adobe Flash Player installed and enabled.

It sounds like the Mac browsers you are referring to do not have Adobe Flash Player installed and enabled and SimpleViewer is using the Mobile Player to display the galleries.

Please see the note regarding Universal Playback here.
Universal Playback automatically ensures that all users are able to see your gallery images, regardless of whether or not they have Flash-enabled devices or browsers.
However, please note that the Mobile Player supports fewer configuration options than the Flash version of the gallery. Here is a list of options supported by the Mobile Player. (The Mobile Player does not support Watermark Options or imageClickMode.)

Please also see these FAQs:
When I view my gallery I see a grid of thumbnails, not the layout I specified. Why?
The mobile player layout does not match the Flash player layout. Why not?

As you have Showkase-Pro, you could use Juicebox-Pro instead of SimpleViewer-Pro for your galleries.
Juicebox-Pro is a fully-featured HTML 5 image viewer that does not require Adobe Flash at all.
More information on the differences between SimpleViewer and Juicebox can be found in this SimpleViewer blog entry.

Juicebox-Pro supports imageClickMode (like SimpleViewer-Pro) but does not support dynamic watermarking.
However, you could create your Juicebox-Pro galleries with JuiceboxBuilder-Pro (the desktop application) which can watermark your images when they are resized for your galleries. Please see here for details.
You can then upload the gallery folders to your web server and import them into your Showkase site using Showkase's 'Site -> Import' functionality.
Once a gallery has been imported, it becomes a genuine Showkase page (just as if the gallery had been created in Showkase itself) and can be edited from within the Showkase interface if necessary.

(1) Upload the complete gallery folder to your web server using an FTP program. (I recommend uploading it to a location outside your Showkase directory.)
(2) Go to 'Site -> Import' in your Showkase site.
(3) For the 'Import path', enter the path to the directory containing the gallery folder (not the gallery folder itself).
(4) Click 'Scan' and choose the gallery folder (or folders - you can import several galleries at once if they are all in the same parent directory).
(5) Click 'Import' and 'Publish'.

The newly imported gallery page will have its own entry on Showkase's 'Pages' tab.

... and may change my galleries to all look like that (if I knew how)...

In SimpleViewer-Pro, you can force the Mobile Player to always be used (to display the grid of thumbnails), regardless of whether Flash Player is available or not, by deselecting the 'Use Flash' checkbox in the 'Standard Viewer Options' section.
In Juicebox-Pro, you can force Small Screen Mode (see here for more details) to always be used by setting 'Screen Mode' to SMALL in the 'General (Pro)' section.
Small Screen Mode is similar to the Mobile Player in SimpleViewer in that it displays thumbnails and images on separate pages (not together). (However, Small Screen Mode in Juicebox-Pro supports far more configuration options than the Mobile Player within SimpleViewer-Pro.)

GalleryTitlePosition does not change what I want.

It certainly sounds like you might be referring to the Showkase 'Page Content -> Page title'.
If the title you are referring to is the text that you have entered into the 'Page Content -> Page title' input, then please try the second suggestion from my post above. (It is the only way to have the body content above the gallery in Kosel.)

I tried to share a URL with an image sample but got this message, "Too many links in message. Allowed 0 links. Reduce number of links and post it again."

Now that you've posted a couple of posts, you should hopefully be able to post links. (Otherwise, you can disguise the links by inserting spaces between slashes or leaving out the http:// part.)

Is there a way I can post an image to this form?

Unfortunately, the forum is not set up to accept images but you can use an image or file sharing service to host the image and then post a link to it (disguising the link if necessary).

The Gallery Title in a Juicebox-Pro gallery is positioned using the galleryTitlePosition configuration option (in the 'General' section).
Possible values for galleryTitlePosition are OVERLAY, TOP, ABOVE_THUMBS and NONE.

The Gallery Title can also be aligned horizontally (LEFT, CENTER or RIGHT) via the galleryTitleHAlign option.

Short descriptions of these options can be found in the General section of the Juicebox-Pro Config Options page.

However, it sounds like you might be referring to the Showkase 'Page Content -> Page title' rather than the Juicebox Gallery Title.
If you want to move the page content from below the gallery to above the gallery, then it is not possible with the available interface options and you'll need to edit one of the Showkase source files.
Open the 'showkase/_themes/base/pagetypes/juicebox.tpl' in a plain text editor.
Cut lines 18-23 inclusive:

      <section class="page-body">
        <h2 class="page-title">{$ss_pageTitle}</h2>
        <div class="body-content {$pageBodyLayout}">
          {$ss_pageBody}
        </div>
      </section>

... and paste them to immediately below line 2:

{block "content"}

Please note that the line numbers refer to the current version of Showkase (v1.6.1).

Be sure to re-publish your site after making this change.

1. Juicebox-Pro 1.5.0   gallery Thumbnails image  look like blur image

It looks like the thumbnail images on your server are 85px x 85px and your gallery's configuration file does not entries for thumbWidth and thumbHeight so the thumbnails should be displayed at 85px x 85px (the default values) so everything should be OK.

However, your screenshot ('image1.png') shows the thumbnail images being displayed at a different size (maybe something like 100px x 85px). It looks like your mobile browser might be using an older version of your gallery's configuration file (one with a custom entry for thumbWidth).

I have viewed your gallery on my own mobile iOS device and your thumbnail are displayed at the correct dimensions (85px x 85px) so it looks like the problem may be your browser's cache.

Try completely clearing your mobile browser's cache before reloading your gallery's web page.
This should hopefully solve your problem.

2. i want
    gallery index page -> full screen image

Set showSplashPage="NEVER" (in the 'Splash Screen (Pro)' section) to disable the Splash Page.
You may also like to set showSmallThumbsOnLoad="FALSE" (in the 'Thumbnails (Pro)' section) to initially skip the thumbnail page in Small Screen Mode and go straight to the first image in the gallery when the gallery is loaded.
Alternatively, you could set screenMode="LARGE" to force the gallery to be displayed in Large Screen Mode in all browsers and on all devices. (Large Screen Mode does not use the Splash Page by default.)
For more information about Screen Modes and the Splash Page, please see here.

1. Juicebox-Pro 1.5.0   gallery Thumbnails image  look like blur image

It sounds like your thumbnail images may not be at the dimensions specified by the thumbWidth and thumbHeight configuration options.
Try editing your gallery page, going to the 'Advanced' tab and clicking the 'Rebuild' link.
This should rebuild your thumbnail images at the correct size.
If this does not help, then please post the URL to your gallery page so that I can see the problem for myself.

2. fixed forwarding

I would not recommend loading a Showkase site into a frame (as the code you posted seems to do).
If you want www.clearpix.co.kr to redirect to your main Showkase page, try a meta refresh like the following:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="ko">
    <head>      
        <title>Redirect</title>      
        <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='http://maybi.iptime.org/show_clearpix/'" />    
    </head>    
    <body> 
    </body>  
</html>

Otherwise, you should be able to set up a redirect in your web hosting account's online control panel.

(resolve)

It sounds like you might have already resolved your problem.
If you still have a problem, please let me know in detail what it is and I'll try to help out.

I'm not sure if you are trying to align images within a gallery or a gallery within a page.
If you are trying to horizontally align images within the gallery, then imageHAlign is the config option to use.
If you are trying to horizontally align a gallery within a page, then please post a link to the page in question so that I can take a look at the problem for myself. (A Showkase page should position the gallery appropriately depending on the theme being used and, ordinarily, should not need to be re-aligned.)

If you have already resolved your problem then you don't need to post back.
Thanks.

Thank you for the link to your web page and the screenshots.

It looks like the problem might be the one noted in the FAQ from my post above.
The gallery images do not have the same aspect ratio as the gallery itself in narrow browser windows which results in some space above and below the images.

Try reducing the height of your Juicebox gallery by editing the gallery page, going to the 'Override Site Options' section and entering a negative value for either 'External fit px' or 'Internal fit px'.

You might need to experiment with values but, as a starting point, try setting 'Internal fit px' to -105 (the same as in the Maribo demo gallery). This should hopefully help.

Also, I note that your gallery sets topAreaHeight to -100. Try setting it to 0 instead. (Your gallery does not have any elements positioned TOP so this might not make a difference but topAreaHeight expects only a positive integer if it is to be used.)

Please post the URL to the web page that you are referring to so that I can see the problem for myself.
I do not know if the image you are referring to is a part of a gallery (Juicebox, ListViewer, SimpleViewer) or an image included from the Showkase Library (or something else).
Also, without seeing the page, I do not know whether the margin is connected to the "sub text" or the "pic" from your post above (although I suspect it is likely related to the image).
Please let me know what device and browser you are using and, if possible, provide a screenshot so that I can see what you are seeing. Thank you.

Try viewing this Maribo demo gallery on your mobile device to see how the margin above the gallery images compares with your own site.

Depending on the nature of the problem, you might be able to tweak the margin using custom CSS.
Please see the Adding Custom Styles support section for details.
Your browser's developer tools should help you determine which classes or ids you might need to apply custom CSS rules to.
Please see this forum post for more information regarding using developer tools.

If the image is part of a Juicebox gallery, then this FAQ might help.
My Juicebox gallery shows too much space above or below the main image, how do I fix this?

You can reduce the height of a Juicebox gallery in Showkase by editing the gallery page, going to the 'Override Site Options' section and entering a negative value (such as '-200') for the 'External fit px' entry.
(This will probably help only for a Juicebox gallery where the Splash Page is not being used.)

I'm not sure why this might be happening. I've not seen it happen before and, as far as I can remember, no one else has reported such an issue.

... about 50 or so new 'Gallery" folders were created...

... 93 folders called "Gallery" had been made.

It sounds like, whatever the problem is, it doubles the number of duplicate folders on each iteration.

How are the duplicate folders named? This might give us a clue as to how they are being created.
For example, if you have a gallery page named 'gallery', are the duplicated folders on your server named 'gallery-2', 'gallery-3', etc. or do they use a different format such as 'gallery (2)', 'gallery (3)', etc.?

Take a look at your showkase/_data/pagesdata.txt file in a plain text editor. I expect you might find all the duplicate folders listed in here.
If so, and your Showkase site is self-contained in its own folder (with no non-Showkase content in the Showkase root directory), then the following might work.

(1) If you are not already using the latest version of Showkase (v1.6.1), please upgrade following the Upgrading Showkase instructions.

(2) Manually delete any duplicate folders on your server that you know are not part of your actual Showkase site.

(3) Run 'System -> Repairs -> Repair' to rebuild the page records.

If this does not work, here are a few other things to try.

Try installing a fresh Showkase site into a new subdirectory on your server to see if the same thing happens with this new site. As long as you install the new site into a folder of its own, it should not interfere with your existing site and it will be self contained (so it can easily be deleted after testing if necessary).

If duplicate folders are created within the new site, then this would suggest that the problem is somehow related to your web server or its settings (although I would really need access to both your server and existing Showkase site in order to try to determine the cause of the problem).

If the new site seems to function OK without creating duplicate folders, then you could perhaps use this site as your main site and import the pages from your original site (via Showkase's 'Site -> Import' functionality) to avoid the need to recreate them from scratch.
You could then move the new site into the location of the original site (deleting the original site first) by following the Changing Your Installation Directory instructions.

Hopefully the suggestions above will help.

Important note:
Please take a full backup of your existing site before trying any of the above, just in case anything goes wrong and you need to reinstate your original files at a later date.

Kosel 1.5.0

First of all, it might be wise to upgrade to the latest version of Showkase (v1.6.1) to ensure that any bugs that were present in v1.5.0 and which have since been fixed are not contributing to any layout problems that you may be having.
Please see the Version History for a list of changes between versions.
Instructions for upgrading Showkase can be found here.

title( center align)

main menu (center align)

This might be quite difficult to achieve. The Kosel theme was designed to have a left-justified site heading and a right-justified navigation menu sharing the same horizontal space.
It might be better (certainly much easier) to use the Boma theme and force Showkase to display the site in small screen mode where the site heading is horizontally centered and the navigation menu is horizontally centered below it.
To see this in action, try viewing this demo Boma themed site in a narrow browser window.
In order to force Showkase to always display Boma pages in small screen mode, you would need to change the breakpoints at which Showkase switches from large to small screen mode.
Open the showkase/_themes/boma/css/styles.css file in a plain text editor, search for instances of:

@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {

... and change the min-width values to something much larger, such as 9999px (so that the minimum width for large screen mode is never reached).
You might not want to change all the breakpoints, though. You might like to leave the gallery index page breakpoints unchanged to prevent the gallery index page thumbnails from being displayed too large in large browser windows.

gallery(center align)

Galleries should already be horizontally centered in Showkase pages by default. If you find that they are not, then please post the URLs to your gallery pages so that I can take a look for myself and hopefully help further.
Please note that galleries will not be vertically centered as Showkase pages are designed to scroll vertically rather than display all content in the browser viewport without scroll bars. Juicebox and Showkase galleries should be displayed in their entirety though, without the need for vertical scrolling. If you have a large site heading that you find is pushing your galleries down your Showkase pages, then you can compensate for this by entering a negative value for the 'External fit px' entry in the 'Site -> Customize Theme -> Gallery Pages' section (e.g. '-200').

footer page(center align)

Add the following CSS to your showkase/_themes/kosel/css/custom.css file:

footer {
    text-align: center;
}

More information on using custom CSS can be found in the Adding Custom Styles support section.

Be sure to re-publish your site after making any changes.

You are free to make whatever CSS modifications you like to your Showkase site but please note that modifications made outside the Showkase interface are not officially supported. (Showkase may expect elements to be in certain positions and will not be aware of any CSS modifications that you may make.)

If you plan to make many custom modifications to a theme, then you might like to consider creating your own theme instead. Please see the Creating Themes support section for details.

If you go to our own Photoshop plugin support page here, you will find two options:

(1) Photoshop CC 2015
(2) Photoshop CS2 to CS6

If you click the first link in the CC 2015 section, you will be taken to the Adobe Add-ons web site where you can install the plugin via the Creative Cloud Desktop App.

If you click the only link in the CS2 to CS6 section, then you will directly download the plugin in zip format.
You can then install the plugin following the instructions on the support page.

If you have Photoshop CC, you can use either method.
If you have a version of Photoshop prior to CC, you should use the CS2 to CS6 method.

I've tested the current Juicebox-Pro plugin with Photoshop CC 2015.5 myself and it installed via the Adobe Add-ons page successfully (through the Creative Cloud Desktop App).
I also tested the installation process with multiple versions of Photoshop installed side by side (CC 2015 and CC2015.5) and the plugin installed successfully to both installations simultaneously.
The only problem I encountered was that if I installed a new version of Photoshop and immediately tried to install the plugin, it would not work. I found that I had to reboot my PC first. After rebooting, everything worked as expected.

I'm glad you've been able to install the plugin by copying the 'Juicebox' folder from one 'Scripts' directory into another.
(That's all the auto-installer does anyway - unpack the files into the 'Scripts' directory.)

If you find that you ever need a fresh copy of the plugin, you can download it in zip format from the support page on our own website here. (Just download the CS2 - CS6 version. The files are exactly the same as the CC 2015 version. It's just the method of packaging the files that differs.)

If your Showkase site is in a subdirectory, then you can made it accessible from your root (without having to move the entire site) by following the 5 step instructions in the Showkase Home Page support section.

If you really want to move your site into your root, then please see the Changing Your Installation Directory support section for details.

I would recommend the first suggestion above. It does not require moving your entire site and keeping Showkase self-contained in its own subdirectory should help to keep things organized on your web server.

I see the problem that you describe on mobile devices.
The problem seems to be with trying to insert your Showkase Gallery Index Page into a non-Showkase page.

If you view the Gallery Index Page on its own, it is responsive and looks fine on a mobile device.

It would be easy enough to embed a Juicebox gallery created by Showkase into a non-Showkase page (using the baseUrl method) but I don't think there's an easy way to insert an entire Gallery Index Page into a non Showkase page (and have it be responsive and look good in all browser viewport sizes).

The problem seems to be that your web page's layout truncates the height of your iframe on mobile devices.
(This would be the case no matter what content you load into the iframe.)

Your fluid layout looks quite complicated (there seems to be a lot of CSS code relating to it) so it would probably be quite a task to try to get it working well in all browser sizes.

However, here are a few suggestions which might help.

(1) Try using a regular iframe (without any fluid resizing) with a fixed height (rather than a percentage) suitable for the Showkase Gallery Index Page content.
You could maybe use a JavaScript routine to determine when a small screen device is being used and set a different height for the iframe under these conditions.

(2) When you select a gallery from the Gallery Index Page in the iframe, the gallery will still be contained in the iframe. (The iframe size will not change to reflect the change in content. Even if you sorted out the iframe for the Gallery Index Page, there might still be a problem with the gallery pages.)
You could perhaps create your own gallery index page. Some manual work would be required but including a couple of image links directly in your web page would do away with the need for an iframe completely.
For each gallery, you could create a separate page, using your own navigation menu and embedding the gallery using the baseUrl method. (The galleries would still be managed via the Showkase interface.)

(3) Another possible solution would be to use Showkase for your entire site (for your gallery and non-gallery pages).
The Kosel theme has a top menu (like you current site does) and Showkase supports non-gallery features like a contact form (which your current site has).
It might take a bit of work to port your site over to Showkase but it might ultimately be the best solution as all pages would be responsive and display well on mobile devices.

If you really want to include the Gallery Index Page in your non-Showkase page, then an iframe is the only way to do it (although Showkase was not really designed to be loaded into an iframe).
The Gallery Manager theme was designed to create full-screen gallery pages with no navigation to minimize style clashes with the rest of your site. Galleries can be linked to (on their own full-screen pages, with a Back Button to return to the original page) or embedded in existing pages alongside other content (like my second suggestion above).

Hopefully one of these suggestions will help.

If I purchase Showkase standard will I be limited to a maximum number of images per gallery?

Showkase Standard comes bundled with Juicebox-Lite and SimpleViewer-Standard, the free versions of the image viewers, both of which have a limit of 50 images per gallery.
Showkase Pro comes bundled with Juicebox-Pro and SimpleViewer-Pro, neither of which have an image limit.
The third gallery type, ListViewer (unique to Showkase) has no image limit in either Showkase Standard or Showkase Pro.
Here is a demo ListViewer gallery.
Please note that you could purchase Showkase Standard and, at a later date, purchase a Pro viewer and integrate it into Showkase by following the instructions here.

Does Showkase have the ability to password protect subfolders/galleries or albums?

Showkase does not feature password protection functionality. However, each page within a Showkase site has its own subdirectory. For example, if you create a page named 'Test Page', then a subdirectory named 'test-page' is created in your root Showkase directory. You could password-protect specific directories on your web server using .htaccess and .htpasswd files. Instructions can be found here.
Also, Juicebox-Pro (but not Juicebox-Lite) has the ability to password protect galleries (since v1.5.0).
Here is a demo password protected Juicebox-Pro gallery. (The password is 'juicebox'.)

Can I update galleries with new images on the fly?

This can be done if you use a Flickr account as a source of images for a Juicebox or SimpleViewer gallery. (No need for Pro viewers.) You can upload new images to your Flickr account and they will automatically be included in the Juicebox or SimpleViewer gallery.
It cannot be done for a gallery displaying local images (it is not possible to just upload an image to a directory via FTP and have it become part of an existing gallery) but it is very quick and easy to add images to an existing gallery using the Showkase interface.
Just edit the Showkase page containing the gallery, go to the 'Upload' tab, upload the new images and re-publish your site.
It should take only a couple of minutes from start to finish.
